In 1967, [[Malcolm Bricklin]] approached Subaru with the idea of bringing the tiny Subaru 360 to the United States. After a great deal of regulatory red tape and negotiation, Bricklin made a deal with Subaru. Bricklin formed Subaru of America, Inc. to sell [[Subaru]] franchises and later brought in Harvey Lamm as the COO.
 
Subaru of America established the Eastern Division in 1968 in [[Bala Cynwyd]], Pennsylvania at 555 City Line Avenue, and the Western Division at 1000 West Coast Hwy, [[Newport Beach, California]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Once “Cheap"Cheap and Ugly," the Subaru 360 is having an unexpected moment |url=https://www.hagerty.com/media/valuation/once-cheap-and-ugly-the-subaru-360-is-having-an-unexpected-moment/ |website=Hagerty |publisher=The Hagerty Group |access-date=14 January 2021}}</ref> The headquarters later moved to [[Pennsauken, New Jersey]] and then [[Cherry Hill, New Jersey]]. In 1986, it was fully acquired by Fuji Heavy Industries (now named Subaru Corporation).
 
In 1989, Subaru and then-partner Isuzu opened a joint factory in [[Lafayette, Indiana]], called [[Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc.|Subaru-Isuzu Automotive, Inc., or SIA]], which initially manufactured the [[Subaru Legacy]] and [[Isuzu Rodeo]]. In 2001, Isuzu sold its stake in the plant to FHI for $1 due to flagging sales and it was renamed [[Subaru of Indiana Automotive]], Inc. SIA has been designated a backyard wildlife [[Habitat]] by the [[National Wildlife Federation]], and has achieved a zero-landfill production designation.
