By then, the American appetite for oil burners might be sufficiently whetted to embrace Subaru's entries.

bit o' forshadowing there, ya stink?

Take an existing gasoline engine and convert it to diesel.

Sounds familiar.

Can you say "Oldsmobile"?

Absolutely. That GM debacle actually set the market back. Diesels became extremely unpopular because GM made a horrible decision. Any coincidence that GM owns Subie? They'd better make it more reliable/smoother/cleaner than the TDI or CDI.

Okay....

....Fuji Rabbit 200 Superflow

The year: 1968 -- electric-start, automatic transmission, gas gauge, etc... All from the Nakajima Aircraft Co. and along the way to today's Subaru.

I think Toyota owns a bigger share of Subie than GM....I thought GM divested them. I know that Toyota just took over most of the factory space at their IN plant for more Toyo models anyway.

Around 1981 or 2 ,,,, 5 of us guys went from illinois to daytona in a VW rabbit deisel. That thing got 50 mpg then, guess it put out to much pollution. They quit making it.
