It live~ IT LIVE!!! :bellyroll: :bellyroll: :bellyroll:

It looks more like an embroidery on clothing.

I'm going to make one on my jacket then. :thumbup:

I guess it's alright for not being too fancy.

Just say IF this car did came out as RS, when some one ask me what I drive I gotta say I have Subaru 2.5RS and RS. You know pain in the ass that is :bellyroll:

Meeehh, I'd be more excited if it said "22B" :D

Yeah, especially if the new car happens to come out with a 2.5 liter engine too, haha!

Yea no shit lol
"hey man what do you drive?"
"Oh, a subaru 2.5 RS and a subaru 2.5 RS. Two completely different cars."
"Ummmm..... ok"
:bellyroll:

But the RS Subaru is AWD so this makes no sense to me.

But I thought all Celicas were FWD!! Oh no.... wait a second.

aside from the potential confusion mentioned above, and the similarity between "RS" and "FR-S", i think its a good name. It also opens the door to multiple displacement options, because 2000RS implies a specific displacement. I think that's good because a 2.5 liter version (N/A) would be the bee's knees.

Why do they need to trademark the RS? I thought they would already had it trademarked from the Impreza and Legacy?

Gc8?

At this point they could call it the Subaru Pile Of Shit and I'd buy it

Mine is GM6.

GC = Sedan
GM = Coupe
8 = 2L turbo
6 = 2.5L NA

Did not know that.. Thanks for the little lesson haha

FR-S vs S-RS?

RED vs BLUE?

TAKUMI vs BUNTA?

Rssti

LOL we already know who won. Bunta is ultimate! He even beat Tsuchiya-san

^always love watching that.

soo that means if subaru does a sti version it'll be the Subaru RS STI? i'd start calling it the Subaru R doulbe-S TI

I get a feeling that people will start calling it Rusty.

hahaha

"what do you drive?"
"a Subaru Rusty......"

or RSTI

Rather bland name. Couldn't they this of something...better?

I'm in tears laughing.

Maybe Mazda should trade mark that name for the new 3.

I believe this is how they got the names!

Subaru RS(Real Sh*t)

Scion FR-S(Faking the Real Sh*t)

:bellyroll: j/k


It couldn't be as bland as BMW's model naming configuration right, 330, 540 etc! ;)

lol - faking real shit :P

I think RS200 or 200RS sounds cool.

:thumbup: Only downside is that it sounds like some pansy motorcycle. Or a sissy lexus.

If you are referring to the RS250 as a "pansy" motorcycle, you are sadly mistaken. Also, Lexus makes badass cars.

Sorry sir but I have no idea what an RS250 is, in all honesty that was a blind blanket statement saying 250cc is small....and therefore pansy. Now if you say this bike is not pansy, sure I'll just take your word for it but you are missing the point I was making.

And...Lexus? Badass?

ES=Camry with a hat

IS=300 and 200 were sporty and cool (not badass), 250 is a hairdressers car

SC= 300 and 400 were gorgeous and damn near perfect in every way (minus the 1uzfe not having a manual:thumbdown: )

RX=Hairdressers suv

LX=Yeah fine this is pretty badass

GS=Okay sort of badass but mostly just classy in a gangster way

LS=Pure sex

I consider myself a huge fan of lexus cars. Ever since the first LS400 came out with the V8 so smooth you could stack champagne glasses on the hood and rev the engine without worries (if you're a fan you know what I'm talking about)....but lexus cars are NOT badass in any way. They are amazing cars, but badass...no.

Oh well :happy0180:




*If you read some of my previous posts you'll notice the cars I make fun of the most are typically my favorite, ie my previous comment about Subaru.

I was just messing with you. But, Lexus does make 2 badass cars.

Hmmm.... What about a real name to go with the letters? These are the Seven Pleiades Sisters (Subaru's logo is of the Pleiades constellation).

Subaru Maia RS?
Subaru Electra RS?
Subaru Taygete RS?
Subaru Alcyone RS (sorta already done in JDM)?
Subaru Celaeno RS?
Subaru Sterope RS?
Subaru Merope RS?

Personally I like Subaru Celaeno RS (if it's pronounced Selayno so it alliterates). It also apparently means "Dark One".

No, I'm totally not bored. Why do you ask? heh...

Where are GX, CT, IS-F and LFA?

LX is a badass SUV. I don't think Range Rover can do better than LX/LC off-road. It's a dark side of SUV.
IS-F(2011)- improved over the last year model, and it's now capable of running with M3 on the track.
LFA- badass everything.
GX- badass woman SUV. :bellyroll::bellyroll:

Subaru Maia= Name was used for the 360
Subaru Electra = 360 Van, Subaru Impreza Electra One Concept
Subaru Taygeta = not used
Subaru Alcyone = JDM versons of the Subaru XT, XT6, SVX
Subaru Celaeno = not used
Subaru Sterope (Asterope) = B4 Legacy concept for autosalon
Subaru Merope = not used

Mind you I did think a number of the above names were used on subaru concepts. But couldnt seem to find them.

Heres the meanings quoated from Subaru Oz site.

Hahha we're way too off topic, even for this forum. But let me just say LFA is just what we needed, something to boost Toyota morale. And the ISF although cool in theory is still dorky and lame to me. I don't know how Lexus can make that car without a manual.

:clap: Aliphian rides so saying an RS250 is weak is like saying an AE86 is a pansy car since it's only 1.6L.

From a motorcycle perspective, the Aprilia RS250, Honda RS250 and Yamaha TZ250's are beyond sick! Let me school ya for sec... if you don't mind! ;) :happy0180:

Biaggi's Aprilia RS250

Honda NSF250R (costs 30K USD)

And the infamous Yamaha TZ250 (current setup, 27K USD)

For 30 years the Yamaha TZ has been involved in the history and tradition of GP Road Racing, taking advantage of feedback and knowledge gained through the factory race programs. This evolution continues, building the glory of the TZ line.

The TZ250 was the championship machine in the 2001 All Japan Championships, and in the 2002 All Japan series it swept the top four places in each of the first five rounds of the season. This kind of consistent competitiveness has won the TZ250 the trust of riders in the Japanese market.







Thouse sound like cool names but I doubt they'll suit well here in the US.

@RRnold: True.
I forgot to mention about that too. 250cc bike isn't weak at all. Production bike like Kawi EX250 can run 0-60 in 5.5sec. How is it slow? most cars cost 10 times as much couldn't do that. Not to mention track-only bike, can do even better 0-60, lap time. Unless he was talking about Harley. LOL

Yeah, way out of topic.
I believe that "badass" you said is about you own perspective, not in general. And, you didn't mention about LFA earlier because you wanted to defense yourself for saying "Lexus is not BADASS". hmmm...

Now back to the topic.

I think Japanese carmakers use too much Greek names, why not try something else different?
