Have you bought a new car in the last few years? The base model Impreza R, Subarus cheapest car, starts at around 26k. Even though this is their base, it's far from the same poverty-pack you get on a Corolla, Mazda 3, etc in the same size class that start around 20k. Interiors are a lot more solid too and have a more premium feel, in my opinion. The chrome against black works well to give this impression, common across a lot of their range (even the lower level stuff)
If you hadn't noticed too, Subaru actually have sports cars for sale in Australia.
Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer to buy a Toyota over a Scoobie doo, but that's just the fact of the matter here in terms of positioning. Toyota make vanilla cars, but they sell because they're reliable and have few faults. Subaru sell based on the slightly-more-premium selection and AWD standard on all models.
