All part of the plan as Toyota has also increased its holdings in Suzuki and Yamaha as well. Mazda will be next.

My only hope is that Toyota's D4S (or any dual injection) system is in Subaru engines in the future.
Are they trying to gobble up the Japanese auto industry ?
Does Toyota still have the reputation for reliability , it had had in the past ?
Please forgive me . I do not know a lot about Asian cars . Although , I think our 2015 Chevy Sonic is Korean or largely Korean ? So far it has been a good little economey car .
Thanks ,

I hope not Mazda.
I own three Toyotas and currently all have met the same reputation for reliability I have come to expect from Toyota. If you look at auto web site that keep records of long term reliability, like dashboardlight.com Lexus (Toyota) is #1, and Toyota is #2 in reliability.

Toyota is still regarded as having very high reliability.
Some of the brands under the Toyota umbrella are Daihatsu, Suzuki, Mazda, Subaru.
Consolidation in the Japanese auto sector has been ongoing for some time. Also, many if not all the automakers are diversifying into other sectors. If it moves they are in it.

I don't really care if they own more of Subaru, as long as they don't change the tack Subaru has been on. 91 straight months of increasing sales or something crazy like that. About the only thing I wish Subaru would do is get back to the mindset of the mid-2000s, where every model outside of the Tribeca had an NA and turbo edition. Another thing I thing would sell like hotcakes would be if they offered a factory-lifted model (say 2" or so) and stuck some all-terrains on it. They heavily push the "go-anywhere" lifestyle in their advertising, they should offer some models with greatly increased capabilities like electronic locking diffs, drive modes (other than just X-mode), and maybe some fancy Fox shocks or something like that. Give these lifted models the unpainted heavier bumpers and lower valances on the sides for some scuff protection, and I think they'd become top sellers. Bringing back the Outback and Legacy turbos is a great start, I hope they continue bringing back some more powerful models.
Subaru in desperate need for hybrid technology and Toyota wants access to the AWD tech?

Maybe Toyota is happy that Subaru is paying for the removal of engines to replace valve springs under recall.

Subaru's former parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, had been involved in aerospace since the 1950's. Fuji ceased to exist a few years ago and now all that was under it is under Subaru, in that sense yes now Subaru as a corporation is getting more into aerospace.

And FHI along with Mitsubishi built the planes for the Japanese military during the war. Now they are major contractors/suppliers with Boeing, Airbus and maybe Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics. Kawasaki is also involved in aerospace too.

Wonder how Honda's feeling that Toyota is integrating the Japanese auto industry. It has never seen eye-to-eye with Toyota.

Honda is unique in that it has great success with their outdoor power equipment division. Motorcycles are also another area. Honda also has their aviation and robotics divisions. They seem to be content with their strategy.

That's because Honda builds engines whereas Toyota just "buys" them.

There's been some rumors coming out of the mill that the 2021 Crosstrek will have a low range 6 speed transmission available.
