Subaru is wrong for thinking you closing on a barely-moving car at speed is dangerous, and the entire internet is wrong for thinking "car length" refers to the length of a car. Two doesn't quite make a pattern, but it suggests one. You being obviously-wrong on the second point doesn't mean you're definitely wrong on the first, but I'd be more inclined to trust the automotive company with access to crash statistics than your "never wrecked a car yet" instincts, personally. Then again, I've known two people who both proudly proclaimed that they'd never even gotten a ticket before whose driving was so terrifyingly unsafe I wouldn't get into a car with them a second time, so maybe that's my bias.
