The window stickers on two new Imprezas that I saw at the dealer today indicate the assembly plant to be Newport News, VA on one, Baltimore, MD on the other. Are these plants open for tours? Has anyone toured the Indiana plant?

Subaru's are made in either Lafayette IN, the legacy, outbacks and tribeca, and the impreza's are made in Gumma Japan, along with the forrester, those 2 cities are probably the east coast port of entry.

yup, NoahDL88 is correct, they are just ports. The Newport News port just closed and they moved to Baltimore. About 100 members of the SVX club toured the Lafayette plant a few years ago. I'm sure there running public tours there.

From what I understood from somebody on the tour it was special, done for the 10th anniversary of the SVX only and it isn't a typical thing they do. However, I bet if we asked nicely they'd do a USMB group tour. Ill try to ask the SVX owner who their club collaberated with.

 

Unfortunately, they have a plant where there really aren't very many Subaru fanatics. (Basically Chicago)

It's not often that some one can say that Shawn is wrong when it comes to Subaru information, but...

 

Shawn you're wrong :-p

 

Here is a link to the Subaru of Indiana web site.

 

And a link for information on scheduling a tour.

 

Anyone that wants to go to Lafeyette can go on a tour, if you send in your request ahead of time.

i wonder if the subaru tour is like the budwiser tour used to be whan you could go and drink beer for free??? maybe they'll let you drive a new car for a while, like maybe 200k miles.

Pontiac gave us a tour of their farfax plant for a few years, till they moved to Canada. This was for grand prixs. It was the national gathering that was set up everyyear (still is, but its not the same). I used to have a gtp. The tour was awesome. Its so cool to see all the machines and people going at it making different parts of the car come thogether. Also got some free parts

Or perhaps you could drive to the Budweiser plant.
