Toyota buys GM's stake in FHI...

teh woot..what does that mean for saab....no more 92x?

 

no, they're gone keep doing the 92x, they're dropping some crossover vehicle project.

How long till we see a Toyobaru? Subayota? Anyway, AWD + hybrid would be cool.

 

just need the big TOY letters on the back of the subarus now, like the litte trucks.

fyi: subie did make that little sportster hybrid conept and it looked PIMP!!!! i iwll try to dig up a pic later

 

My last two cars (s-10 & prism) were GM, and SUCKED!!!!!
(but, the prism was part TOYOTA, which was cool,......maybe not)

 

WOOT!!!!!thats great news, i own a GM vehicle...but its pre **** quality era

 

IBAWDCELICAFORTEHWIN!1!!!

 

A coworker brought this to my attention yesterday. I'm sure that section of business is extremely profitable but it just goes to show you how much GM is sucking right now. The American car companies are all in deep $hit.

 

^chrysler isnt doing terrible,and ford isnt in the tank as much as GM

 

I stand corrected...Ford and GM are in deep $hit.

 

maybe there will be a joint effort to bring back teh brat, except ej powered, lifted with a toyota solid axles setup???????

or an ej powered Hatchi Roku???? (optional AWD)

i wonder what the first subie-toy will be.

 

^ probably nothing...im betting they will use eachother's parts though

 

here we go some concepts.

i hadnt see this one before it looks alright (grille still bad) but it has 256hp so its my new favortie hybrid.

here we go, i was thinking of the B9 scrambler. the b11s is also pretty sweet.(both need a ej257 though, ok maybe an ej22t in teh b9)

please ignore the last one on this web site.

and heres a pic of the back of the b11s

 

toyota and subaru are among the two top best japanese manualfacturers! cant' wait to see the new cars in teh future, boxer powered corollas...lol

 

^ Uh, correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't the top two Japanese automobile maker = Honda and Toyota?

 

yeah but what subaru lacks in sales it makes up for in id rather have'ness

 

yet...... wait tell i get a hatchi, a welder, and an extra ej22.

 

YodaRoos for teh win!i

 

yes you are wrong...subaru and toyota. subaru is #1 in reliability also

 

GM will be bankrupt in four years.

They do have some neat cars in the pipeline. My best friend is an engineer there and he's told me what's coming. Alas, when asked if the new cars are better than those from Toyota or Honda (market sales leaders), he still says no.

But he says the Solstice with the 250 hp turbo is fun to drive! :lol:

 

fyi subaru is selling like crazy, and hasnt had a terrible year in a long time

 

im talking about compared to hondas and toyotas.. they might not sell as many but theyre much more loved

 

fyi....you are correct

 

lol, Pw3n3d

 

Since Toyota has an average buyer age of 50+ (geezer Buick age) they probably need some enthusiasm from Subaru to boost their sales. Hopefully it means our cars will be even more reliable (read: able to withstand more clutch drops!).

 

i never thought that it would happen to GM

 

^^^ hope your joking around, they get what they deserve...GM is the worst car maker ever, cheap crappy unreliable overpriced technologicly retarded pieces of disposable crap, and yet somehow i still own a GM vehicle, but it was made before GM started to make everything plasic

 

I was in chicago on mon and tues for subie training, and here's the deal... Toyota now owns 7-8% of FHI and not just subaru. Like the MIX said, they will really have no say in what can/cant be done with FHI, but just share $$$$interests. GM sold off all of there shares(20 million some) and some are still available to be purchased. FHI was talking about buying back some...but no official words on that yet.

 

we should buy some! group buy anyone?
