I'd rather trust a redneck with an IQ of a rabbit then those guys. After what they did to my vehicle they can burn in hell. O ya, I said it. Bring it.

Since always.

They are part of the Fuji Heavy Industries.

Fun fact:
Subaru:
Adopted in March 1958, Subaru refers to a group of stars also known by its original Japanese name, mutsura-boshi, or series of six stars. This group of stars-known in Western countries as the Pleiades-belongs to the Taurus constellation and is the basis of the Subaru trademark. Subaru automobiles were the first to bear a name derived from the Japanese language.


You are probably thinking that because of the Subaru OUTBACK, they were associated with the Outback of Australia...no?

Wasn't the reason we bought the Subie, but makes us even more satisfied with our choice.
