Next, under contract with Toyota, SIA next built the Camry from February 28, 2007, until May 27, 2016, when additional space was needed for additional Subaru production. On January 1, 2003, Subaru purchased Isuzu's interest in the venture for one dollar and renamed the facility "Subaru of Indiana Automotive." In addition to producing Subaru vehicles, the company continued to produce the Isuzu Rodeo and Honda Passport badge-engineered twins, as well as the Isuzu Amigo and Axiom through July 23, 2004. Īfter Isuzu sales significantly dwindled, Subaru dissolved their joint agreement. Subaru also planned to export about 1,000 Indiana-built Legacys per year to Taiwan. The Indiana state government gave Subaru-Isuzu US$86 million in incentives to locate in the state, after having lost the Diamond-Star manufacturing plant to neighboring Illinois.
