Presently, Subaru allocates only 150 to 200 units for sale per month, including both the XV and Forester. Though the latter is at higher demand and requires more allocation, the automaker cannot confirm working on the same.

The problem might be caused due to bigger reasons. One of the reasons is that the Japanese automaker is finding it difficult to get the allocation from the home country due to natural disasters and problems with the products.
