I am sure that Subaru will have similar problems in other regions with the continuously stricter emission rules. If not now, for sure in the near future.

So doesn't the EU still have a large take of manual transmissions? All Subaru needs to do is offer CVTs to improve average fuel economy. It is possible that Europe would only see automatics of some type.
