scouk Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I'm sure this has been asked before but it's something that's been bugging me for years. What makes a Subaru Impreza worthy of the nickname "Scooby"? Just being a subaru? (SU-Ba-Roo >> Scoo -biee -doo >> scooby) Just Being a Subaru Impeza? Being an Impreza with a Turbo? Being a non-standard Impreza (even just cosmetic)? Driving it like it should be rather than doddling around the countryside (like me) What do you think?

Driving it like it should be rather than doddling around the countryside (like me) What do you think? personally methinks its just a play on 'scooby doo', eventually shortened to 'scooby'. But i think it only really appplies to turbos, and CLASSICS at that! Iain
4Hero Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) I know what isn't worthy of the nickname "Scooby" apart from that, I think all previous impreza's are worthy Edited September 1, 2007 by 4hero
scouk Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 I know what isn't worthy of the nickname "Scooby" That's a good point actually.. I tend to agree with you there (for the moment) I mean it's just too ummm fat! (Too many scooby snacks?) How about Elvis! (flame suit at the ready)

barry wemyss Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 what is that lol i have no answer for you there
4Hero Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I just had a eureeka moment there and came up with a new nickname for the 08 model "Pileof****e"
Hepy Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Get some gold wheels, pink badges, and a big spoiler and it will look great.
4Hero Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I almost reported you for that Hepy, don't you know that you shouldn't do drugs, drugs are bad.
thewelsho Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Oh noooo My EYES My EYES!!!!! I was reading this thread then as I scrolled down I saw the 08 and before it registered what I was looking at I thought, hmm that's nice! NOOOOOOO! Some 18 inch Goldies and a spolier will make it look a LOT better. I CANNOT belive I am saying these things! Maybe that car in the pic was having a good hair day!

4Hero Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 * 4hero removes the Welsho from his friends list *

thewelsho Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 * 4hero removes the Welsho from his friends list * LOL! I deserve it mate! What is the matter with me?
scouk Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 Thing is... In the EU market it quite possibly is a nice looking car! It's just NOT worthy of the Impreza name that we've come to love so much.. Call it the new Vauxhall Contact Lens or something and it'd probably get a better reputation (although the VXR's are much better looking..) Take a few front end photos of impreza's through he years ans show them to a 12 year old They will easily point out an Impreza. Put a photos of this infront of them and they say boring!!! Time will tell on teh 08 model. I still dont like it, but I may change my mind (I love the hawkeye and always have done) But I really hope SWRT can make the 08 work!!
ScoobySounds Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 The 08 is still easier on the eye than I remember feeling in 2001 with this monstronsity.
ScoobySounds Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) BUT! .. in answer to the original question, the 2001-02 scooby IS a scooby! any impreza is a scoob to me I think, its gonna take a bit of time to think of that 08 as a scoob though. Edited September 1, 2007 by ScoobySounds
Bailey73 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I have a Bugeye and it has really grown on me..... ..to be honest the bugeye isn't the nicest looking Scoob but the 08 is just hideous.
4Hero Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 the bugeye is stunning compared to the 08, and I've never been a big bugeye fan, but they do look lovely in comparison.
micra_wrc Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I think scooby is a play on Subaru but it means an Impreza. I mean, you wouldnt refer to a forester or legacy as 'my scoobie' and i like the 08 hatchback.
scoobyiain Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I know what isn't worthy of the nickname "Scooby" apart from that, I think all previous impreza's are worthy Loving the 08 scooby.
Guest Irn_bru Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Here we go. Apologies for my crappy photoshop skillz Nope,no improvement.It is still U.G.L.Y!!!!!!!!!!
