Exactly, I was looking for the same thing. 101 km/h is nearly 63mph. That makes perfect sense. Subaru isn't that stupid. They know 0-60 mph or 0-100 km/h is the gold standard, regardless of whether the car is designed to accelerate quickly. It's frickin media suicide to gear a car to only reach 59mph.
I don't trust Inside Line in the least, but something is up. It's either different gearing, speedometer calibration error, or Inside Line's test equipment was F'ed.
