FHI Showcases its Subaru Plug-in STELLA Concept, a New Prototype Electric Vehicle, at the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit

Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, today announced the successful development of its Subaru Plug-in STELLA Concept model, a prototype electric vehicle (EV). FHI will provide five units of the Plug-in STELLA Concept for use at the Hokkaido Toyako Summit to be held July 7 through 9, 2008.

Four of the five will be used to transport government officials and other participants at the summit, while one vehicle will be displayed at the Environmental Showcase,
an exhibition and demonstration area in the International Media Center, and it will also be available for test drives.

In addition, FHI will provide one STELLA Concept model to the Japan Post group for use in mail collection and delivery in the vicinity of Toyako during the summit.

The Subaru Plug-in STELLA Concept combines the EV system employed in the R1e, (which recently debuted in the U.S. at the New York International Auto Show), with the mini car, Subaru STELLA. The resulting vehicle represents an optimized model that features STELLA’s compact packaging and superb utility.

FHI plans to use the Plug-in STELLA Concept in the development and test-marketing of the next generation of EV in Japan in the near future.

FHI jointly developed the Subaru R1e with Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. (TEPCO), a leading utility in Japan, and the vehicle’s performance has been tested since June 2006. 40 units of the R1e model, equipped with lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries, have been used by TEPCO as part of its corporate fleet and by the Kanagawa Prefectural Government, providing performance results that further advance FHI’s EV development work. Such data collected under real-world conditions has helped FHI refine the concept of the next-generation EV and make further improvements in convenience and comfort under everyday driving situations.
FHI has placed emphasis on its mission to pursue the perfect integration of a pleasant and reliable driving with environmental considerations. While seamlessly improving the power units design and introducing such cleaner engines as the Horizontally-Opposed diesel engine in Europe (available since March 2008), the company has positioned EVs as another viable solution for environmental preservation, and it plans to accelerate its EV development work

Our Engine Is "Engine Of The Year"!

I am pleased to announce that the Subaru 2.5 liter turbo engine has been named the International Engine of the Year!

Subaru recently announced that the Subaru 2.5 liter turbo engine won the 2008 Engine of the Year in the 2.0 liter to 2.5 liter category. The Subaru BOXER engine beat BMW's 2.5 liter 6 cylinder engine twice in its category for the International Engine of the Year in the last 3 years.

The SOUL of Premier Subaru

THE SOUL OF PREMIER SUBARU.

That is the title to our new TV commercial that summerized the way we do business. Like you, I do watch some television and am tired of the same old car commercials and, quite frankly, the same old way that people in the car business seem to "think" you need to do business. Maybe it is because I am not originally from this industry (I am from the banking industry), but, I belive that people are too smart to go for all of that "whatever it takes" jargon. So, I wanted to relay this to prospective customers in our newest TV commercial.

The soul of Premier Subaru is not really a "tag line" or "commercialized" idea. It really is the "feeling" of the culture of Premier Subaru. I am often told by customers, vendors and just about anyone else that crosses the threshold that our dealership doesn't feel like a dealership. Our salespeople are not like "other salespeople" and our service department really does care. I don't think that this culture is something that we just "came up with", rather is something that was developed over time. Quite frankly, I am real glad that I came from the banking business, as our dealership has that level of professionalism.

I received a call from a customer this past Saturday. What was unusual about it, was that, this customer had moved from Madison, Connecticut to Scottsdale, Arizona. She called me at about 11am, EST, which would be around 8am in Arizona. The purpose of this call was to tell us how much she had liked doing business with us and how she wished we were out there. You can't even imagine how gratified I was to have heard this. I was floored. This customer made my day - well, weekend, by taking the time to call across the country and let me know about her experience at her new "local" dealership in Scottsdale. To me, to have established such a strong relationship with somebody was a testimate to our way of doing business. Our honesty. Our counsel. It is the Soul of Premier Subaru.

I know that nobody watches for commercials - but, I hope that I got - even a little of this - across in this ad. Thanks to Bob Bateson of WTNH TV - Channel 8 - for helping me out with this.

Thank you for doing business with us. That is something that I don't take lightly.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING!

I am completely excited because, for the third year in a row, Premier Subaru will be a sponsor of the Shoreline Arts Alliance, based on Guilford, Connecticut. Specifically, Premier Subaru will be a 2008 Supporting Sponsor of Shakespeare on the Shoreline and the presentation of "Much Ado About Nothing".

I will be certain to post more details of this spectacular program which brings live Shakespeare to the Guilford Green!
