"2014 Subaru Forester is selling so well that the Japanese automaker needs to increase production which will force them to end Toyota Camry production in their U.S. plant. About all you can see these days is Subaru's taillights. The 2014 Subaru Forester is experiencing blistering sales in the U.S. and it’s forcing Subaru to make some big changes. Subaru has some big challenges ahead and it will require them to increase production by stopping Camry production at their Indiana plant. It’s a good problem to have for the Japanese automaker.
"The plant makes 170,000 Subaru Forester SUVs and contract manufactures 100,000 Camry mid-size sedans annually for Toyota Motor Corp according to Reuters. Sales in the U.S., where the Japanese automaker sells half its cars globally, are up 27 percent from January to July 2013. The Japanese automaker has to make some decisions in order to keep up with demand here in the U.S.
"Subaru will be investing $407.5 million to increase the plant's annual capacity to 370,000 cars by 2016, the newspaper reported. Subaru expects to sell 400,000 cars globally by the end of 2013. The U.S. along with strong sales in Canada is forcing Subaru to make room for more cars to be produced here in the U.S. "
