            "Buying" does not mean controlling. Relax, kids --- it's 8.7% ownership.

              Yes, but toyota has the option to buy another 11.4 percent which would give them the controlling interest in suby.

              Better keep the sti.

                Don't forget...there used to be a lot of very cool 'yotas in the past. Also...adding increased reliability to Subie?...nothing bad about that.

                    Remember the 80's Chevy Nova? Or the 90's Geo Prism?

                        Uh, that's still be 20% total which is the same stake GM had....GM was hardly running Subaru.

                          I'm not overly worried, I just found it interesting. Silly GM.

                            Hmm...is there a chance we might see some AWD Toyotas in the near future?

                              Doubtful. Although Toyota could use a "real" car to get the performance market.
