Country of origin

Oh, really? Then why'd they need an aussie to sell it for them? ;-)

And I think you'll find that while the Outback *name* may have first been used in the US, the raised Legacy with protection on the lower half already existed elsewhere as the "Grandwagon".

's_the_GW.htm I don't know when they started making them, but there are lots of 1995 model year Grandwagons here in NZ.

My (admittedly limited) understanding is that US manufactured Subarus are for the North American continent market ONLY. Rest-of-world Subaru's are all manufactured in Japan.

I could be wrong (quite likely)..... if anyone can confirm, it would be appreciated

You are correct my friend. Also the Outback name/concept was marketed first for the US market, although Paul Hogan was used to promote it. Doesn't make it Aussie though.

Good idea, even if unfortunately I don't own a Subaru :-) I usually put the country in my signature (see below).
