Japanese car makers like giving their cars Italian sounding names like Altezza, Atenza, Silvia, and of course Impreza

Interesting stuff, I knew that subaru was named after a constilation. But now with the pic I see the similarities of the emblem and the constilation. cool stuff.

The SVX and the XT-6 were both called the Alcyone in Japan too

Nope. I think this one is a Japanese government sponsored science project.

Don't forget one of the stars is called electra. That is also a SUBARU The STI electra.

The subaru world website has current subarus that used to be in the states, like the justy. Its a nice mini car. Wish we had the option to buy one of those in the states.
