This year, the automaker started funding first-of-its-kind research by the nonprofit Center for Pet Safety to study the dangers of driving with a dog.

After the Subaru BRZ became the company’s first non-all-wheel-drive car in the U.S. in a long time, it’s clear the Japanese automaker has come a long way since the first production Subaru arrived in 1968. That car was the 360 microcar, which we take a closer look at in the videos below. While most automakers wouldn’t advertise their cars as being cheap and ugly, Subaru did.
