[Paddlewise] ACA and Subaru

Please take a moment to send a letter to Subaru regarding their recent
decision to reclassify the Outback as an SUV, to duck gas-milage standards
for autos.  There is a form for doing this at the UCS link below.

First some background information - and why I've sent to kayakers & canoers:
The American Canoe Association and Subaru have 'partnered' for many years,
with Subaru being the 'official' auto of the ACA, and ACA members receiving
up to $3000 off MRP on the purchase of a new Subaru.

Subaru's "committment statement" to Outdoor enthusiasts can be read at the
following link:  http://www.subaru.com/outdoorlife/commitment/index.jsp

However, Subaru's concern for our outdoor world/enviroment has taken an
interesting twist: Subaru's ''redesign'' of its Outback qualifying it for
lesser fuel economy standards is outrageous. Check it out at

Thanks,
and happy boating,
