Car Advice Conundrum #1

July 25, 2007 by Matt Brogan  




As a new writer to Car Advice, I have decided to try something new that will allow for a bit more interaction between ourselves and you, our loyal readers.

A daily trivia question will be posted with the answer appearing in the following day’s issue. See how you go, I intend making these as varied and obscure as possible!

Today’s question:

In Japan 1938, Fuji Heavy Industries, familiar today as Subaru, was:

  • a) Nakajima Aircraft Industires – who’s planes blew us to bits in Darwin, Pearl Harbour, etc…
  • b) Kikoman Soy Sauce Company – who made us salty and fat
  • c) responsible for inventing the original King Kong movies

    Its why Subaru are going with this aero plane inspired nose design…They should have stuck with a badge like BMW

    No True Aussie would buy such a car no matter how well made they are. If you don’t have a family that had loss and suffering in WW2 from the Imperial Forces spurred on by the Manufactures in japan then go ahead buy japanese they are good cars. Forget the ANZACS Australia, Forget buying Australian. I cant wait untill the last car like commadore and falcon roll of the line and you all have to drive is japcrap type crap, at least you will have a choice Toyota, Hyundai or Cerrys.

  10. Warplanes they built at that time. Currently of course the Japanese build the best cars in the world, as opposed to the locally built American cars, every model comes with the sales pitch these don’t have the faults of the last model, i gave up many years ago. Lucky us we can buy the best cars in the world cheap.
