Podcasts about fuji heavy industries

Het is eindelijk zover, Paul heeft een opvolger voor de Rover gevonden en vergroot de Lancia-dichtheid in familie Vaarkamp. In zijn nimmer aflatende zoektocht naar een tijdelijke obscure auto kocht Michael bijna een Coupé Fiat van een BN-er. Verder wellicht nieuws van Fuji Heavy Industries, zit de wintereditie van Kannetjes & Karretjes tjokkievol en wordt de werkweek bij Lamborghini flink ingekort. Verder is er een hoop nieuws uit EV-land met een nieuwe elektrische pick-up. Toch hoort Paul liever nieuws over een Roemeense terreinauto dan over een snelle elektrische Hyundai.

Nils tror på Fuji, Theo tycker att den är meningslös och Petter tycker om fisk. Dessutom har vi kört en bil från ett företag som en gång hette Fuji Heavy Industries!

I veckans avsnitt pratar vi om den Japanska industrisektorns flaggskepp. Subaru Legeeeeeeeeejsy. Theo pratar om Ford och GM, Magnus tycker att Citroen borde ha namnrättigheter för XM, Nils är här också.

Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster M45, or the "Seven Sisters" (one of whom tradition says is invisible – hence only six stars in the Subaru logo), which in turn inspires the logo and alludes to the companies that merged to create Fuji Heavy Industries. Subaru cars are known for their use of a boxer engine layout in most vehicles above 1500 cc. The Symmetrical All Wheel Drive drive-train layout was introduced in 1972. The flat/boxer engine and all-wheel-drive became standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars in most international markets by 1996, and is now standard in most North American market Subaru vehicles. The lone exception is the BRZ, introduced in 2012 via a partnership with Toyota, which uses the boxer engine but instead uses a rear-wheel-drive structure. Subaru also offers turbocharged versions of their passenger cars, such as the Impreza WRX, Legacy and Outback XT, Ascent, and previously the Legacy GT and Forester XT.

It’s a company that doesn’t make sexy cars. Pickups and big SUVs aren’t part of the mix either. And when it comes to luxury, as Tony Soprano would say, “forget about it.” So we know what it doesn’t make but the question is what does it make? And the answer is…profit! Join John McElroy as he welcomes for the first time to the Autoline studios the man who runs Subaru of America, very successfully we might add, president and COO Tom Doll. Appearing on the panel with John are Michelle Krebs from AutoTrader and Joe White from Reuters.

The U.S. Justice Department says one major supplier has pleaded guilty to a price fixing scheme. The U.K. is set to test self-driving cars on its roads by the end of the year. An Autoline Daily viewer sends us a new Barn Find, which may be the first ever use of Ram Air. All that and more, plus is it better to buy a car or to lease one?
