Just a small note:
GM is buying 20% stake in Fuji heavy industry (the parent company of Subaru)
with an option/possibility to also purchase 4.5% (of Fuji) from Nissan Motor
Co.

Anyone else noticed that Subaru really tries for an Australian image?
They have absolutely nothing to do with Australia, yet all the
commercials are shot to look like they were done in Au, all of the
actors have Au accents, and now the model names are
au-related("Outback")

Wouldn't surprise me if half the US now thinks Subaru is an
Australian product...and wouldn't surprise me if half of Australia is
mildly irritated about it :-)

I guess a bunch of Subaru exec's visited Australia(I hear they're the
#1 tourist group there?) and loved it...
