Cost less than the last auto I bought 18 years ago.

What? Me worry?
Good value for a performance vehicle.

You should dispute that ticket and say it clearly isnt yours because you own a Scion (;

Parked at one of my accounts with a nice STI outside of the office. I walked in and asked the guy about it. He asked me if I had a Subaru and I said:

"Yeah, it's the only rwd model available and I picked it at a Toyota dealership and has some other company's badges on it but when I open the hood 'Subaru' is stamped on everything.... Does that count?"

ScionBaru. Subion.

Cylon.

Schizophrenic

I quit,

I also quit.

Just remember the history/design of the car: designed by Toyota, influenced by Toyota sports 800, Toyota 2000gt, AE86, built it Subaru's parent company (owned 20% by Toyota).

Apple products are stamped made in China that doesn't mean China owns everything lol

This car is belong to Subaru's engineer and Toyota's designer. You guy need to educate all the public and media out there ! Lol :)

Belongs to Toyota's President for creating the project, Toyota's engineers for building the working prototype (brakes, auto transmission from ISF, new direct injection system) and convinced Subaru to be part of project, Toyota's designers for creative direction of exterior look, interior simplicity and AE86 brand heritage, Fuji Heavy Metal for factory, Subaru's engineer for tweaking car after Toyota built working prototype, Subaru STi suspension, Subaru's boxer engine, etc.

It's annoying when people say Subaru created the car because it's from a Subaru factory.

1. Wrong, it's built at the Subaru's parent company
2. The prototype was built by Toyota before Subaru even worked on the car that's like Foxconn claiming they invented the iPhone because Made in China is stamped on it hahhahaa

The prototype was built based on a Subaru Legacy. I'm pretty sure we're not driving modified Legacy's, are we? Either way, the prototype was still a Subaru which pretty much nullifies the point you were trying to make.

this thread is extremely POINTLESS.

Subaru here, its built in their factory with their employees,...I do have a few Toyota aftermarket parts on it though, one of which I don't like to much , the port and direct fuel injection,....you can keep that economy crap.
