Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

Mitsibushi belongs to Fuji Heavy Industries..like Subaru. anyway....we went far away...lolll

Really? I was unaware of that. I thought that Mitsu Motors was part of the larger Mitsubishi conglomerate? I'll have to check that out.  Huh Huh

EDIT - I did some checking on Fuji HI but can find no reference in there to Mitsubishi vehicles (Subaru yes of course). Could you provide a link or proof that Mitsu Motors "belongs to Fuji Heavy Industries". At this point, I would say you are not correct.

Mitsubishi belongs to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries....not to Fuji Heavy Industries....I appologize!

The Sub's WRX has got it all inside. It's a "pure' car, reminds me of those Fiat's from the '70s.

But the WRX has lots of technology in its AWD, power and safety features. The new front is nice, but yeah, it's not dressed up for the ball, but it's a ball. (bad one)

To me, for the driving pleasure (and it has a lot of that, beleive me... very sensual with the road, very real experience...) is totally there...

Great value.

Welcome to the Forum, ergo, there are lots of Subie fans on here so I'm sure you'll feel in good company. The new front end of the Imprezas and WRX is the best of the 3 tries, nice car and tons of fun.  Grin Drive

Mea culpa...It is my mistake....

 Shocked

For me the one and only one aerospace related automaker is SAAB!..Subaru never did planes....LOLL

Indirectly, it did.  Subaru is owned/operated by Fuji Heavy Industries.  Any guess on what THAT company used to be called?...


...Nakajima.  Makers of World War 2 planes.  So although they had to change name after Japan capitulated in August 1945, they still retain an 'aerospace history'.

In fact if you do a search on Subaru Boxer engine and planes, you can find lots of EJ20t used as plane engines. Wow... imagine a stage II on one of these Pipercross boxer or a Subaru Cessna.  Grin
