I'm sure the next owner will be happy about that after they put the former owner in a box.

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

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?
