And now, following GM's selling off their share of Fuji Heavy and Toyota
buying some of that share, comes this comment (my emphasis) from an article
at
http://enews.earthlink.net/article/top?guid=20051005/4344a140_3ca6_1552620051006786193582 :

"Erich Merkle, a senior auto analyst with the consulting company IRN Inc.,
said the alliance will give Toyota access to Subaru's all-wheel-drive
technology. Even more significantly, it will _give Fuji access to Toyota's
hybrid technology_, Merkle said.
Merkle said GM failed to leverage its partnership with Subaru. GM had plans
to use Subaru's all-wheel-drive technology but never did, Merkle said. GM
also should have taken advantage of Subaru's expertise in the growing
crossover segment, he said.

GM will continue work with Fuji on one production vehicle, the Saab 9-2x, GM
said. But other projects will end, including the joint development of a
crossover vehicle, announced last year."
