Just curious, that's all.

Fuji Heavy Industries which is made up of six separate companies, one of which is Subaru. The badge represents an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus called the Pleiades, the Japanese translation for which is Subaru. The Pleiades is sometimes known as the Seven Sisters due to the number of stars which can on average be seen by the unaided naked eye, but it is actually made up of many hundreds of stars. Amongst astronomers it is used as a measure of seeing conditions and a test of eyesight on how many stars in the cluster can actually be seen unaided, and 11 is near the upper limit. Perhaps it is generally smoggy in Japan? ;-)
