The only thing against it is that it looks too good to fit in with other Subarus, but most Subaru owners will admit their car has quirky character rather timeless good looks. Some people try to convince themselves that their Subaru isn't ugly, and the overly insecure may try to poke at you. Ignore them. They have no taste.

Disclaimer: I have spent many $$$$ on ugly Subarus. Don't get your panties in a bunch if you've convinced yourself your Impreza looks good. They have other redeeming qualities.
22b Impreza disagrees with you.

Just my opinion of course.

one more thread where a bunch of ****s will chime in on how either toyota or subaru did either everything or nothing. if you go to a subaru dealer and buy a car badged as a subaru and pay insurance on a subaru, you probably have a subaru. to my knowledge its subarus first attempt at a quintessential sports car and a very successful one in my opinion.

This is debatable though... I know some people who don't even consider the BRZ a subaru because its shared with Toyota.

They can go fuck themselves, I bought the BRZ because it IS a subaru. Yes its a scooby (to me at least lol).
Hahahaha. Made me LOL for a good min

It's definitely a scooby. Yet another reason I bought it over the Scion. If they had sold the FT86 here, I may have considered it. I wasn't about to buy a Scion though. Since they are aimed at younger crowds, insurance is going to be crazy. People keep wrecking them too. I have seen way more "I was hit by" or I crashed my car" threads over on the FR-S side of the house.

But back on topic... this car is far more subaru than it is Scion or Toyota IMO, so I gladly call it a scooby!
