TOKYO, Nov 09, 2005 (XFN-ASIA via COMTEX) -- Toyota Motor Corp plans to contract out to Subaru brand car maker Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd the full redesign of an existing model, possibly a sporty subcompact, and hopes to roll out the remodeled version in two to three years, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported without citing sources.
Toyota became Fuji Heavy's major shareholder after purchasing a stake from General Motors Corp in October.
The business daily said the vehicle to be remodeled by Fuji Heavy has yet to be determined, but a sporty subcompact -- a type of vehicle in which the automaker is known for -- is seen as a likely candidate.
The remodeled car will be made at a Toyota factory and put on the market in two to three years.
