The Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 not have been successfully developed without collaboration between FHI and TMC. We started the alliance for mutual growth in 2005. Now I'm delighted to see this moment that our alliance surely bore fruit."
FHI President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, after extending his gratitude to all participants at the ceremony, said, "the car symbolizes our corporate strategy in two significant aspects: good progress of our alliances; and advancement of our "select and focus" approach. The start of production today made a huge step for us, but it is not our goal. By constantly refining both models, TMC and FHI hope to nourish each model to be loved by customers all over the world for a long time to come."
Subaru Gunma Main Plant, where minicars were previously manufactured, was recently renewed for the Subaru
BRZ and Toyota 86 production. FHI plans to produce the Impreza at the same plant by March 2013.
FHI offers "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" to its customers through the Subaru brand statement "Confidence in
Motion" and its consistent approach to "Engineering excellence".
