We should all be driving Subaru's

With M45 as your emblem, you are truly showing your colours

Our Forrester has had since new: a dodgy head gasket, a duff tranny, a saggy off-side shock mount, the engine whines like a B52, the windscreen is badly fitted making the interior noisy and uncomfortable and it sucks petrol. If there are any other autos named after clusters, asterisms, constellations or galaxies that have a better track record, I'd be grateful if someone would let me know!

Turbo Forrester

They were all turbo once upon a time................
Is that still the case?

I agree Peter that the subaru looks a bit like a 4WD Volvo!
1970's vintage that is.

Probably better than my Mazda Tribute!

A bumper sticker or two achieves the same effect.

Suburu is the Japanese name of Pleiades, but Suburu only have 6 stars in their logo.
M45 is known as the 7 sisters, so the Japanese version is missing one star, or they need to buy one more company to make it right

And just for interest, the logo is 1 large star for the parent company (FHI) and the 5 small stars are the 5 companies that merged into 1 company that we know as Suburu.
