Subaru is an automobile manufacturing company founded in 1953. Its sexist ad has compared a car to a woman, with man being in control of both. The ad has a caption which describes a man who likes to do things his own way and treats his car, his clothes, and his women in whatever way he wants to. The car is a non-living thing and should be addressed with the pronoun it .
