zenith (n.)
1. the highest point reached by a celestial or other object
2. the point in the sky or celestial field directly above the observer
3. the time at which something is most powerful or successful

Perfect name, IMO. "Subaru" is the Japanese word for the Pleiades, a star cluster (see Subi logo) that holds significant meaning in dozens of cultures. Definition #1 and #3 portrays the power and success that the brand hopes to generate with RWD coupe entry that --according to Subaru-- will blow the competition away.
I wonder if it's going to be called Subaru BRZ _ _ _ _ _ _ or Subaru _ _ _ _ _ _ BRZ like Impreza WRX even though they planned to split the name into it's own model?!?

Subaru has also been been known for having funny nicknames; Subie, Scooby, Scoob, Rex, Slowbaru, Nabisco, Fubaru Pimpreza, Steez (STI) etc.

Subaru should bring back the B.R.A.T!!
