We have the largest Subaru dealer in North America here. I'm on my second Outback.

re: "As we said last week, had we given the red light to Toyota's initial investment here in the US back in the 70's, this Subaru plant would not exist, for they followed the path to our shores blazed by Toyota. But we gave the green light and so they came, and came, and came...." Even more importantly, before Toyota and Honda began building car plants in the United States, the general perception was that American workers are lazy, non productive, overpaid and non competitive in the world (anyone remember Brian Bosworth's book, and his recollections of working in a car factory?). That perception was been turned on its head largely because of the Japanese auto industry's experience in the USA.
