    23251 Hansen Road, Tracy, CA 95304 Newsletter, Vol. XXXII, No. 2 March 2011 The last couple of months have not been user friendly for our 360s. I've been told 10'' tires do not work well in snow drifts and 360 bodies are allergic to road salt. But March is the time change and the arrival of spring signals the time to pull the car covers. Auto shows are starting to pop up on calendars like spring flowers. I am very grateful to the members who have sent in their Subaru 360 stories and technical information. It's exciting to be able to find out what other members are doing. (Don't hesitate to send us your pictures and/or stories.) I have included some of these articles in this issue. To start off, Chuck Hassel sent me information on the "Krasl Concours on the Bluff", a car show in Saint Joseph, Michigan. John Riley was able to find a successful substitute washer fluid bottle to use on a 360 pick-up or van. Garm Beall was generous and sent an article on his 360 sedan. He has a sedan with flatter style turn signal covers, which were unique to the earlier models. Douglas Miller was able to send two great pictures of his car to use in the “life with my 360 section”, one in this issue and the other with the snowman was in the December newsletter. Bringing up the rear in this issue is the financial report. It was basically a “break-even” year for 2010, but is was in the black.

  • Annual Report 2017 for the Year Ended March 31, 2017 from a Company Making Things, to a Company Making People Smile
    Annual Report 2017 For the year ended March 31, 2017 From a company making things, to a company making people smile. Just a glance at our vehicles and you can imagine days filled with excitement. Just a glimpse of jet wings above and you can envision worlds yet unseen. But no matter the time or place, we are always by our customers’ sides. What is important is not how many cars we make, but how many smiles we can create. More than a century has passed since the founding of Aircraft Research Laboratory, the forerunner of SUBARU. Now, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. has been reborn as SUBARU CORPORATION. From making things to delivering value that shines in people’s hearts, SUBARU aims to touch the hearts of people and bring smiles to their faces. We constantly challenge ourselves to ensure that satisfaction with SUBARU is reflected in the happy faces of our customers. SUBARU CORPORATION 01 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 SUBARU CORPORATION 02 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Vision for 2020 Not big in size, but a high-quality company with distinctive strengths For SUBARU, by no means a large automaker, the two strategies of uncompromising differentiation and added-value are essential for achieving sustained growth in a fierce competitive environment. We will narrow our focus to categories and markets in which we can leverage our strengths, practice selection and concentration in allocation of limited management resources, and further accelerate two initiatives: enhancing the SUBARU brand and building a strong business structure. And, we will seek to have a prominent presence in customers’ minds.

(SOA) today marked its 50th Anniversary with a ceremony for its 500+ employees at the automaker’s Cherry Hill, NJ headquarters (HQ) conducted by President and COO, Thomas J. Doll. Doll and Subaru employees, dressed in matching gold 50th anniversary T-shirts, counted down to zero on a 50th anniversary digital clock that has been marking down days in Subaru HQ for a year. Following a round of joyful applause, Doll unveiled a 3-by-4-foot, 300-pound bronze plaque, produced by local artist Chad Fisher. Taking inspiration from ‘The Stars of our Future,’ the plaque depicts two Subaru employees and the famous Subaru six-star cluster logo. “This was a great way to celebrate turning 50,” said Doll. “This company has seen so much in its 50 years, and now we can mark this anniversary on the back of 10 years of sales increases. Our employees are our bedrock and that’s why we are celebrating them with the amazing plaque by Chad Fisher, which represents our employees, retailers and customers. The plaque will last for the next 50,000 years and, as we have a bright future ahead of us, we very much look forward to what the next 50 years will bring for Subaru.” To kick off the year of celebrations in 2017, in a way that embodies the automaker’s spirit of supporting good causes and the local community, SOA donated 50 new 2018 Subaru Outback vehicles to select Meals on Wheels programs throughout the country to be used in the delivery of an estimated 53,000 meals to an additional 3,700 seniors across 39 states.

In keeping with a company known for supporting good causes, the automaker is marking its 50th anniversary with a special donation of “50 cars for 50 years” to benefit a national charity to be announced at a later date. Throughout the year, Subaru will also host a number of celebratory events, culminating in a series of special edition model vehicles that will debut in early 2018. Further details on all programs will be announced in due course. Images displaying 50 years of Subaru products and advertising are available for download at media.subaru.com. Company History The company was founded on February 15, 1968 by two American businessmen: Malcolm Bricklin and Harvey Lamm. In 1965 Malcolm Bricklin was selling franchises for motor scooters that included the Fuji Rabbit and the tiny Subaru 360. Bricklin then formed Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) in order to sell Subaru franchises with Harvey Lamm, who at that time, was working in his family’s furniture store in Philadelphia. From 1967 to 1990, Lamm served as chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president and chief operating officer of Subaru of America, Inc. The very first Subaru ‘office’ was in fact a small rental unit in Balboa Park, California, which Lamm set-up in 1967.

  • Corporate Profile 2020 2021 Message from the CEO
    Corporate Profile 2020 2021 Message from the CEO 01 Corporate Profile From a Company Making Things, to a Company Making People Smile More than just a company that makes cars, aircraft, and related technologies, Subaru aims to be a company that makes our customers smile. In every era, our goal is to be a trusted partner for our customers and engage sincerely with them through attractive and distinctive products and services that deliver Enjoyment and Peace of Mind. In this once-in-a-century period of profound transformation, the automobile in- dustry is required to respond to the new domains of CASE (connected, autono- mous, shared & services, and electric) not conventionally associated with car-making. At the same time, the global pandemic of COVID-19 is changing the way we live through its impact on every aspect of our daily lives. Subaru is by no means a large player in the automobile industry, and it would be difficult for us to develop everything we need on our own. Our business model aims to differentiate Subaru from our competitors by selecting and con- centrating on areas where we can enhance our strengths and distinctive fea- tures, and focusing our limited resources on such fields in pursuit of the added value that our customers seek. In other areas, we respond appropriately and ef- ficiently by collaborating with Toyota Motor Corporation and a range of other business partners. Specifically, based on our mid-term management vision for 2025, “STEP,” we are placing both our automotive and aerospace businesses on a strong footing for steady, sustainable growth by further accelerating our efforts to address three key themes: corporate culture reforms, quality enhancement, and the “Subaru-zukuri” (make-a-Subaru) initiative.
