Subaru builds 3 millionth car in Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Walmart is working to cut the advantage Amazon has in online sales, and Subaru just built its three millionth car in Indiana.
Walmart just sent $3 billion on jet.com, a move that is expected to help boost its lagging e-commerce sales. But, the acquisition doesn’t address Walmart’s struggles in the largest online category that Amazon continues to eat into, which is clothing and apparel sales.
Clothing is what Americans spend the most on, totaling nearly $64 billion.
In other business headlines, Subaru announced that its Indiana factory completed the $3 millionth American-built Subaru, a Lapis Blue Pearl Outback.
The company reached the milestone on July 28.
Subaru has been building cars and its factory in Lafayette since 1989. Subaru first built North American legacy sedans and wagons at the factory, followed by the Outback, Baja, and Tribeca.
