The Japanese name for this star group is Subaru. That knowledge adds an intriguing piece of information as someone sets out to shop for a new Subaru in Plainfield.
A Brief History
In Japanese, the word Subaru means “gather together” or “unite.” The brand originated with a group of Japanese businesses joining together under the name Fuji Heavy Industries in the early 1950s. Their automotive division was called Subaru. This was the first time a Japanese name had been given to a vehicle brand.
The first Subaru car, the P-1, was released in 1954. The company later changed the name to the Subaru 1500. As with many American-produced cars of that era, it was a large four-door sedan. In the 21st century, the company produced another P1 as a limited edition ultra-high-performance model of the Impreza.
