Maybe you are right, but, as fuel prices get higher and higher, the desire to get every MPG possible becomes more important and I think trumps the desire to have AWD, especially for the majority of owners who honestly have no need for AWD.
Subaru makes enough cars that their engineering/manufacturing capabilities won't be spread too thin by the added models. And I doubt their very loyal customers will forget that they've got a little experience with AWD.
I think the biggest question is, does the added cost of additional lines raise the price of their AWD models more than a few bucks. if it does, then I agree that it makes sense to stick with an AWD only lineup.
