ペターのコメント
We went to meet everybody at the factory and talk about the situation. We had a one and a half hour meeting with President Mori and other meetings with top management. We wanted to go in person, and do things in a professional way. We have had a lot of good years with them.
I can assure you I’m working very hard, but that’s it. I don’t want to talk any more about next year. For now I want to keep things simple.

I feel sorry about the situation for everybody, for all the Subaru fans and especially the guys at Prodrive - all the mechanics,” he said. “It’s a hard time but I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I’m thinking about you all and I will visit Prodrive soon in the New Year to meet everybody in person. I’m keeping positive. That’s the most important thing. We never know what’s going to happen. I still believe that anything is possible.
私は、総てのスバルファン、Prodriveのメンバー、すべてのメカニックに対して申し訳なく思っている。よいお年をお迎えください。年が明けたらプロドライブのメンバーに会いに行こうと思っている。私は前向きに考えているよ。先の事は判らないが、まだ可能性を信じているんだ
