lol.....history books!


Lets also give credit to the company who physically built/builds the cars and who's name is stamped on pretty much all of the damn parts.



The only ones that can tell us who gets the most credit with making the car is Toyota and Subaru. And for some reason they never really mention each other when speaking about the car and if they do its briefly. So we will probably never know.

That's totally true. Subaru physically built the car and they deserve credit for that. I merely tried to remind us of Toyota's role, because rebadging the car as a Toyota is in no way comparable to badging it as a Ferrari or any other completely unrelated product.

Maybe we should change the name of America to Africa since it was built by the slaves

<----Loyal Toyota and Subaru fan since the age of 4. Anyone who doesn't think Toyota had an impact on this car has obviously NEVER seen the clock or air filter.

(Or for fun you could just use a Ford emblem and tell people it is a 2013 Probe!) HAHA

My point is do whatever makes you feel happy. Who cares what is "acceptable". Badge it whatever you want

Civilization was built with slavery. Slavery is as old as prostitution. And those slaves eventually became "American" citizens. So your argument is invalid. Maybe if they came here "built" america (as you seem to think) and went back to Africa, then you could argue that.
