the '05's are built.

I believe all Legacy, Outback and Baja models sold in North America are
made in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Impreza based vehicles sold here are made in Japan.

Actually, the US Subaru plant is in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Yup Lafayette Indiana. And Bob Rohrman Subaru just down the road from the
factory has the best Subaru service.

Is the Indiana plant a UAW plant?

The last time a reliability comparison was questioned the answer was
the quality of Japanese vs. American made was the same.

Seriously doubt that.

Well, long ago anyway, after Honda began building vehicles here in the
U.S., Consumers Union could detect no difference. Also, at one time
Toyota's most 'efficient' (no, I have no idea how they measured it)
facility was an engine assembly plant in the U.S.
And, as relates to Subaru, I believe the japanese assembled vehicles and
engines have had the bad wheel bearings, rattling heat shields, fuel
leaks and leaking head gaskets.

Still, I believe almost ALL cars are significantly better than they were
in the past - 80s and before certainly.

Are you saying Americans can't build cars? I'll admit in the late '70 to
early 80's the US made some really crappy cars. But, now they are alot
better and make cars as good as anyone else. But, are saying american can't
built cars? They are using the same parts, and equipment as in Japan to
build the cars. Only using America workers. So are you saying Americans
can't build cars? Very "good" car manufacture company around the world now
build their "good" cars in the US with our "sub-par" worker and their
Quality records have not down. More keep coming every year. So what do you
mean by" Unfortunately, Indiana" ?

I've heard that BMW's most reliable car ever is the Z3/Z4 series -- made is
South Carolina.

My Indiana-built subie and California-built Toyota are top notch!

My Tennessee-built Nissan was a pig.

My Indiana-built 2001 OBW is a well-built car.

And final assembly is just one of many parts of the process of making a car.

True!

Thanks for reminding me that Japanese engineering is outstanding.

Non union assembly of a well designed car using quality components
makes for a long lasting vehicle. Ford donates $1000 for every jag and
$500 for every volvo sold to groups wanting gay marriage. Guess who is
really making those donations-- Ford customers.
