An estimated 250 Subaru enthusiasts will invade several locations as part of the sixth annual Subie Invasion presented by Subaru of Las Vegas along with Subaru of America and DC Shoes.

    Saturday's festivities will include a Subaru-only car show at the dealership situated at 5385 W. Sahara Ave. along with a Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals pet adoption and a barbecue. A village will feature raffles, free food from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., along with a radio remote with KXNT 840 AM.

    "SEMA is the biggest aftermarket automotive convention in the world," said Yujiro Otsuki, marketing coordinator for Subaru of Las Vegas. "However, it is also closed to the public, and our gathering is open to anyone. It's a family-friendly event where people get to see the cars from the SEMA show while attending our gathering."

    For further information, call Otsuki of Subaru of Las Vegas at 495-2105 or visit www.subieinvasion.com or www.subaruoflasvegas.com.

    Subaru of Las Vegas is spearheaded by General Manager Burton Hughes. The dealership has seven symmetrical all-wheel-drive models including the Impreza, WRX, Legacy, Forester, Tribeca and the 305-horsepower WRX STI.

    Subaru enjoyed its best ever monthly sales results in August with a 52 percent jump. Meanwhile, Subaru of Las Vegas had its best-ever sales month at the same time.

    The Subaru Outback recently won the 2010 SUV of the Year award from Motor Trend Magazine, marking the second consecutive year the manufacturer has won the award.

    Keep your damn comments to yourself. You probably said that because you're jealous that even a n/a subaru has twice the Hp of your car.

It's intended to be a fun, family oriented event for all, reckless driving will not be tollerated.

    Sound to me like METRO should have the radar guns warmed up and lots of ticket books.
