The last I heard, Subaru was owned by GM. I might be wrong... but, they do build good cars. And, many are made over here. Ohio "exports" many Honda's. Like I said, we haven't had any trouble from them since we nuked 'em. I spent lots of time in Japan in my Navy days, I like the country and the people. I'm just glad I wasn't there in the 1940s.

GM owns 20% of Subaru. The remaining 80% is owned by Fuji Heavy Industries, builder of Nakajima Aircraft torpedo attack bombers and fighters that sank many US Navy craft in the South Pacific. Personally I don't feel much better that some of the money spent on Jap cars stays here in some assembly-line worker's and car salesman's pocket. All the profits go to Tokyo.
