It wasn't sold in France. Subaru entered the french market after 1992.

It wasn't sold in metropolitan France. Subaru entered the metropolitan french market after 1992.

Subaru only sold in selected European countries? They certainly were active in Belgium in the 80s.

Import quotas on Japan-built vehicles prevented smaller japanese manufacturers to enter the french market. That's why France got the spanish Santana S410 instead of the Suzuki SJ410, or the India-made Maruti 800 instead of the Suzuki Alto. But Subaru didn't have foreign factories to circumvent quotas - although there was a plan for a Subaru factory in Angers in the late 1980s (1) - and only entered the metropolitan french market after the import quotas were abrogated.

Thanks. A few protectionist measures for the native work force, nothing wrong with that. It's still mostly France that pushes for higher tariffs on non-EU imports.

French cars as I see them: if it’s a Renault, it’s rotted. If it’s a Citroën, it has already broken down and there are no spares, if it’s a Peugeot, you can’t afford it.

At least, that’s how it was in the days when I was still buying cars that aren’t German.

At least we Brits have admitted we can’t build mass market cars and quit doing so.

ZA 971 was Saint-Martin, so it could be a personal import from the Dutch side of the island.

Island of Saint Martin confirmed by the episode description. All we need now is Subaru's Caribbean brochure.
