    Anyone else hear his news about the '08 impreza?

    Apparently it is the ONLY small car to approved by the IIHS for crash safety! That's what Clark said, followed by his comment, "I have no idea what a Suabru Impreza is."

    Adding stability control might pay off for Subaru after all. I'll have to check out the details later.

    Wow, how can you hate him, all he is trying to do is give out good financial advice. At least he admits he isn't perfect, unlike so many other radio personalities who think they are next to God in their righteousness.

    Anyway, good news for Subaru, I think.

    Wow thats a pretty harsh statement. How can you hate somebody that gives free financial advice, updates the public about scams/harmful companies and has nothing but good intentions? Clark Howard is awesome.

    He's usually got great advice. And he has really gone out of his way to help people who're are getting screwed by shady local companies. I've run into him before and he seems nice enough in person.

    hate is a little strong of a word..but I believe he annoys many people....sad how some folks are annoyed by financially responsible people..coupons etc...difference between cheap and financially responsible I believe...maybe many are just annoyed by his voice..lol..but he did kind of cross the line when I had my Scion XB and found out that he owned one as well..haha

    Word. He comes into my Fellinis every once in a while. Apparently even mentioned the store as a good pizza buy in Atlanta on one of his shows.

    Clark Howard is the guy who would freak out if he knew how much everybody on this board wasted on their car.

    He's worth millions but buys his suits from Goodwill. What good is all that money if you don't spend atleast some of it :confused:

    here is my free financially advice. give me all your money. don't give it to others.

    free advice can be worse than not giving an advice.

    hes a good guy though. met him through habitat for humanity.

    I met him in person, really nice guy. he is apart of the Georgia State Defense Force as well. I normally see him about once a month when we have drill.

    **the GSDF is an all volunteer force that would take the place of the national guard if they were unavailable, they do not get paid for what they do**

    Hey guys, this thread is actually about the 08 Impreza, NOT Clark Howard! But hey, we should have a Clark Howard thread in OT for sure, I can see there is enough interest already!

    It makes me happy to know that I drive one of the safest cars on the road! 06-07 models got the same ratings, but just did not have electronic stability control, which is mandatory to get a recommended rating, I think. Notice how few of the cars even get a Good rating on all areas.
