As the title states, curious to know about the culture in Japan when the manga was being written. Was Subaru a popular brand at the time? Were they just starting to gain recognition? Why was the WRX introduced so late? I'm in the process of rewatching the series, fan for about 15 years but this fact just dawned on me... As I contemplate buying an WRX STI, haha.

Thanks

Considering that there was only ever one Subaru as a main car in the series, it's presence mostly has to do with the fact that the creator of Initial D owns one.
