Subaru (OTCPK:FUJHY) was one of the latest companies in my look at “Asian businesses” that I did back in late 2022 and early 2023. While this company was once a business with particular exposure to both military and aerospace, this is no longer the case. In the current context, the company is primarily an Asian automotive business, with a small licensing deal, offering the company the potential to manufacture helicopters and planes – though this… Read More →

Subaru has an intensely loyal following, but it doesn’t move anywhere near the volume of new vehicles that its Japanese rivals do. The shift to electric vehicles brings a whole new set of challenges, all of which the automaker will need to navigate without the benefit of unlimited funds. To “survive the age of electrification,” as its incoming CEO put it, Subaru is changing its executive bench and focusing its efforts on using its small… Read More →

The company has certainly grown over the last decade but can it ever regain its reputation as a brand that enthusiasts love? You’ve just become CEO, now what do you do? Read More →

We will put various systems in place while focusing on flexibility and expansion,” incoming CEO Atsushi Osaki said at a press conference. Osaki has… Read More →

The SVX was a quintessential grand tourer among Subaru’s quirky models like the XT and GL hatchbacks. Built around a powerful flat-six-cylinder engine, the SVX boasted styling by the legendary auto designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who conceived iconic cars like the DMC DeLorean, Lotus Esprit, and VW Golf. The Subaru SVX had numerous cool features in addition to all-wheel drive. They included an aircraft-inspired instrument panel, a glass roof resembling a fighter jet’s canopy, and, most… Read More →

One of the weakest links in Subarus are their flat-four boxer engines. They’re hard to work on, not that reliable, and don’t have the performance potential to justify their low center of gravity to everyone. But rather than swap one for a played-out Honda K-series, one 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car driver is opting for a far more exotic swap: a Ferrari California’s flat-plane-crank V8. The Prancing Horse-powered STI is being built by… Read More →

The Subaru Impreza WRX (for World Rally eXperimental) is among the most iconic JDMs ever produced. Subaru produced the first-generation Impreza WRX models from 1993 to 2001, and now they are some of the most sought-after nineties JDM performance cars. Once Subaru had halted the production of the Legacy RS for WRC racing. And they introduced their road-going WRX to replace it in 1992. Formalized for racing, the WRX still possesses Subaru’s iconic rallying DNA. Read More →
