Dudes, check this out!

Think of it this way:

You'll always be the one bringing the BRZ, I mean beers! If we get together too much we'll have to join AA. Awesome. Mine is going to be beers! LOL. Dude you got the beers? Oh yeah!

Barrz, I like Barrz better. Breeze just doesn't strike a chord. Even though it could be Divine Breeze or Breeze as in easy going. You still have to add the ee sound.

Somebody should start a poll now asking how they pronounce BRZ. And then later we'll have a thread deciding as a forum how we want it spelled on the forum :P. I'm not sure which versions I should include though...If noone does it soon I'll do one later, maybe.

Hi,
I've been reading this Forum nearly since the beginning and I don't know why I never registered. So here I am!
I just wanted to say that I'll definitly visit the IAA and take pictures of the BRZ (yeah, the neme is a bit strange ), but almost to the end of the show, so if the (at this time) existing pictures not are enough and you want pics from spezial things, let me just know.

Hmm... Bacon Radish and Zebra? Yum?


What other alternatives to Boxer and Zenith?

HRZ, Horizontal Rear-drive Zenith?
HRA, Horizontal Rear-drive Apex?

Oh! HORZ, Horizontal Opposed Rear-drive Zenith







I don't know, but the B bothers me for some reason...

After much thinking, I've decided that it's the Subaru Bears.

I think the B in the acronym bothers him. Not the use of the letter "B" in general.

Yeah, can't say why, though. Just does.

HRZ > BRZ to me. By a lot.

Yeah I can see what your saying. Just sounds a bit too Hondaish for me. I do like the sound of the H rather than B starting off the car's name.

B is just a horrible letter to put in any acronym.

It kind of reminds me of how Nissan paid some fancy marketing company a ton of money when they were launching Infiniti, and they just came up with the letter Q.

No Dimman, think Bacon Ranch Zucchini. Which actually sounds reasonably tasty.

Bearz? I think we're diverting into an offtopic destination.

The Subaru Coupe has been officially announced! Whatever it's called.
