On the Science channel they did an episode of How do they do it, on building Subarus at the Indiana plant. it was on last year. above is a link to Season 9 Episode 6. no video of it on the science channel website. so come up with more creative ways to find it.

Building a Subaru is easy. First, a decent sized grouping of old Japanese men must gather together in a poorly lit room that has been furnished only with bean-bags. Then, the men must break out a generous quantity of Sake and in a matter of moments, they must consume all of the liquid so they can be sufficiently drunk. This is when the design process can take place.

Due to the inebriation of their person, the men deem it perfectly acceptable to use obnoxiously unconventional methods to piece a car together. Instead of two drive wheels, they make it four. Instead of an inline or V engine, they decide to lay the pistons out flat. Then they examine the overall furnishings of the mainstream/successful automotive market, take those design ques into account and throw all of them into the trash. "SUVs are the in-thing? Uh, that's stupid: make it a station wagon. Those have only been out-of-style since the late 70s; it'll come back around. Also, let's lift a Sedan and sell it under a pseudonym more associated with a whimsical children's story."

With a basic template, they get to work building their dream team of workmen and engineers. First, they must employ a crack team of over stimulated puppies, dysfunctional cats and elephants so that their car's electrics can be properly wired. Instead of soldering irons, heavy-duty groundings and the lot, they give them hammers, bubblegum and dart guns: the tools of success. With that taken care of, the men then hire former caffeine pill testers to install ever seal needed for an engine to hold in fluids. While their hands may perpetually shake with a vigor associated with a category 11 earthquake, the caffeine addicts seem nice enough.

After a few short weeks, the drunk and naive group of old Japanese men have a car. It's headlights may dim every time the turn signals are triggered and it may leak oil, coolant and plasma even though it never received the fluid to begin with, it's a car. Despite the car's on-paper faults, somehow, someway, people buy it. Again and again and again and again.

I'll be honest; I wouldn't have it any other way.

:lol:

That's pretty good.

FWIW, Subaru has addressed so many of the 1st and 2nd Gen Legacy issues in the new ones. My mom's '10 is fantastic. Doesn't feel as much like a Subaru as my old Outback, but it still has a bit charm to it.
