Every spring, during the end of March and beginning of April, Subaru heads to the annual New York International Auto Show. For the 2018 event, we here at Giles Subaru were happy to hear a new generation of one of our favorite models is on the way for 2019, and we can't wait to share it with our Baton Rogue customers.

If you're in the New Iberia area, and you're in the market for a brand new, high-quality, Subaru model, Giles Subaru wants to let you in on a secret. When your friends and neighbors in New Iberia want a new, or pre-owned vehicle, they travel 25 miles to visit us, here at our Lafayette dealership.

At Giles Subaru, we have an incredible selection of available vehicles. From the most popular, current Subaru models around, including the Subaru Impreza, Subaru Outback, Subaru Crosstrek, and Subaru Forester, to a wide selection of used models.

Here at Giles Subaru, we know we can go on and on about how great our Subaru-made cars and SUV crossovers are. But, now, it seems the rest of the country is catching up and taking notice, too.

Best. Year. Ever. (Best month ever too). @subaru_usa had quite the 2017, setting monthly and yearly sales records: https://t.co/3YVGL3GJS3 pic.twitter.com/8VjW4Ol17j

Maybe you didn't notice, but it sure has been cold around here in the Lafayette area this winter. In fact, some say it's been our coldest winter in three decades, complete with the snow and icy conditions to match.

Sounds like a perfect time to consider a brand new Subaru from Giles Subaru.

2018 is well under way now, and many people have probably already slipped from those well-intentioned New Year's resolutions they set just a few weeks ago. But, if your resolution is to take better care of your Subaru, then you're in luck. With help from the maintenance professionals in the Giles Subaru service center, this may be the easiest resolution you've ever made.

You already know routine maintenance is the key to helping your vehicle run great for a long time.

At Giles Subaru, we know 2018 is still a fairly new year. But, we can't help it. We're really excited about 2019 already, thanks to the upcoming, three-row Subaru model, the 2019 Subaru Ascent.

As you go about your holiday shopping this year, don't forget to think about yourself, too. With a full lineup of 2018 models from Subaru, we here at Giles Subaru make it easy to remember to pick up a little something for yourself this December.

We have a huge selection of new 2018 Subaru models waiting and ready to help you start the New Year off right, from behind the wheel of a stylish, safe, and reliable new car or crossover.

The 2018 Subaru models are rolling in here at Giles Subaru, and one of our favorite models features some pretty great updates we think our customers in Lafayette will really appreciate.

The 2018 Subaru Outback, that familiar wagon-style crossover that drivers love for its sporty style and versatility, has received some major changes for the new model year, and we're excited to share them with you.

Subaru has been making the cars drivers love for nearly fifty years. As the golden anniversary of Subaru approaches in February 2018, our favorite carmaker is helping drivers in the Lafayette area give back to their community. The Share the Love campaign has been ongoing all month and, here at Giles Subaru, it only makes us more proud than ever to be your home for high-quality Subaru vehicles.

Ever wonder how Subaru stacks up when compared in a head-to-head competition with other popular models? At Giles Subaru, we were curious, too. So, we pit our 2018 Subaru Forester up against two models, to see exactly how the Subaru measures up.

What we learned is that the 2018 Forester, the Honda CR-V, and the Toyota RAV4 are all a similar size and shape. They also all appeal to a similar style of driver - one that wants the utility, ground clearance, and versatility of an SUV, but in a model that's easy to maneuver and park.
