Most unusual place for a Subaru logo
 
What is the most unusual place that you have found a Subaru logo on your FR-S?

I was most surprised to find it on the dampers that hold the trunk open.

Behind the "Scion" wheel caps.

What's the difference, it's not like Subaru makes any if the parts anyway.

DIM 06-24-2013 08:56 AM
Almost every part on the car is labeled Subaru.

Why would Toyota stamp Subaru on something they made?

Can't tell if troll or doesn't know? Too early. Coffee hasn't taken effect yet.

Guys that's an assembly plant, not a parts manufacturing plant. Different suppliers make all of the parts that have "Subaru" stamped on them.

I worked for Denso for 8 years, I know how assembly plants and part production works. So no trolling here.

It's normal. Made in China is stamped on many items it doesn't mean China owns everything. It just means they are the manufacturer. Apple outsources their manufacturer process and many companies do too. It's a smart economical move to cut cost and use existing resources. Plus Toyota owns Subaru. Like Mr.Tada said, "It's part of the Toyota family."

Toyota owns 16.5% of Subaru, not the whole thing...

Ok, thanks for the info on where, why, how the parts are produced but can we stay on topic? Maybe tell the others the "Most unusual place for a Subaru logo."?

I was genuinely terrified that there would be a pic in the large amount of whitespace in this post. Cringe-scrolling.

This car was Toyota's idea, concept, design, execution (no way Subaru would want to develop anything not AWD), Toyota has a large 16.5% stake in Fuji Heavy Indistries (Subaru's parent company) so either way, Toyota is the driving force behind the twins regardless of who made the parts.

Subaru originally said no (because of RWD and no turbo). From what I read Tada made a prototype after Subaru said no, and the Subaru engineers fell in love with it. The car was clearly a joint venture and many Subaru engineers and components were used. Subaru still could have said no, it is not like Toyota owns the majority of the company.

At the end of the day who cares which company was more responsible? I never understand why people get so worked up about this. Without either Toyota or Subaru the car would not exist.

Wow. Thanks again for the clarification guys. But can you maybe contribute to the OP's thread = Most unusual place for a Subaru logo.

Beyer Subaru 06-27-2013 04:27 PM
The most unusual place that I found a Subaru Logo was behind my Carbon Fiber TRD Aero Fins.

Agreed, both companies made it happen.

I thought it was weird to see the stamp on the rear speaker panel foam.
