Subaru is a division of Fuji Heavy Industries Company Limited and is a Japanese car company that is quite unlike other car companies, primarily because it is not named after its founder. Subaru is a Japanese word that means unite, as well as for the Pleiades group of stars, the Seven Sisters. The Pleiades star sign is six stars, one of which is brighter than the other.
Formerly the Nakajima Aircraft Company before World War II which split into 15 companies when the war was over, five of the original companies combined in the 50s as a transportation company - Fuji Heavy Industries. They adopted the Pleiades sign to signify their union as one company. Their logo is five small stars and one bigger, brighter sixth star which is decaled on each of the vehicles. Subaru has a faithful following of people around the world. They are known for their high performance, turbocharged vehicles.
