    To my knowledge, Subaru is a division of Fuji Heavy Industries and Toyota already owned a 16% stake in. The article says it’s bumped up to 20% now.

    “ This is what won’t happen. Subaru will not be absorbed into Toyota Motor and become a fully owned subsidiary at least not in the immediate future.”

    Curious to see what cross development occurs past the 86 and BRZ and the non turbo’d FA20

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Interesting. I’m sure it’s a plus for both companies in many ways.

    Subaru's are horrible with head gasket failures due to the nature of the boxer engines. I've replaced many and vowed to never buy a Subaru lol

    Maybe Subaru will pass on its rust proofing technology
