Its importer to Brazil was the famous Caoa, but it never dedicated itself much to this Japanese company, and those who bought its models were mainly those who liked and understood a lot about automobiles.
A discreet operation and reduced marketing, as the headquarters in Japan decided not to adapt the engines of the cars coming to Brazil to the new emissions legislation, Caoa decided to end the import of Subaru to our market.
