Buy Cheap New Subaru
The new Subaru Impreza carries on the all wheel drive tradition, but adds hatchback versatility and less agressive
styling. The new 2008 Subaru Legacy now comes with a diesel motor which widens the appeal considerably - especially to
business users. The new Subaru Forester continues to offer competent offroad ability - with a tough, solid build
quality and decent road manners. Whilst the new Subaru Tribeca offers plenty of space, a superb standard equipment
list and a gutsy 3.0 motor. Many magazines have given the new range a good review, and Subaru test reports often
highlight the brand's bullet-proof relibility. SUBARU HISTORY. "A subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries, one of Japan’s
most successful industrial conglomerates, unlike many of its rivals, stand-alone Subaru is not named after its founder
but after a stellar arrangement instead. The word Subaru means “Pleiades”, a star cluster that means “Seven Sisters”
but is represented by only six visible stars from the southern hemisphere. Conveniently, the cluster of six stars on
the company's logo represents the five companies that came together following the Second World War to form the one
star business. One of the founding companies that led to the formation of the car division was Nakajima Aircraft,
which used to produce the 14-cylinder engines that powered many of the Mitsubishi Zero fighter planes of WW2. Although
only a small player, it has been a surprisingly profitable one that seems to have centred on four-wheel-drive for the
majority of its models. In fact, it is known for producing conventional looking family saloons with 4x4 transmissions.
Interestingly, General Motors bought a 20% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries in 1999, when it was on the acquisitions
trail. That stake had been owned by Nissan prior to the North American arrangement. The GM arrangement led to a number
of cross-over products being produced with its other partners and resulted in the model commonly known as "Saabaru",
which was an Impreza sold as a Saab 9-2X in North America. Toyota is also an 16% shareholder of the business,
especially since it bought 8.7% of the GM shares, with the North American giant being forced to fight fires in its own
market. The GM stake will eventually disappear. Some 3.4% of the company's shares have been acquired by an as-yet
unknown investor. The company has been working heavily on developing its new diesel technology and a hot 167bhp
2.0-litre flat-four unit is expected to appear by the end of 2007." Subaru loan and finance rates offer low monthly
