“Most have had it for 10 yrs or more.”

Define “it”.

Neither the 2013 Subaru or 2007 Acura have the tattle tale box on them, that monitors & records speed, braking, etc.

According to NHTSA, 96% of 2013 models already have this feature built into the powertrain controller.

Perhaps Subaru is part of the 4%?

Subaru had them back in 05, so I doubt they have deleted them in 2013

NHTSA estimated that about 64 percent of 2005 model passenger vehicles had the devices. By 2005, General Motors, Ford, Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki were all voluntarily equipping all of their vehicles with EDRs, according to NHTSA. 3 Recent information from NHTSA indicates that 91.6 percent of new passenger vehicles have EDRs, although those EDRs may not include all of the data elements specified in the NHTSA rule.
