 | | Subaru cars (especially Imprezas) are sometimes affectionately referred to as "Scooby-Doos," "Scoobies", or "Scoobarus," due to the similarity in pronunciation between "Subaru" and "Scooby Doo". |
 | | Subaru used the Impreza chassis for the mechanical underpinnings of the Subaru Forester, a small SUV designed to compete in the segment comprising the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape; also, the hatchback-or Impreza Wagon-formed the basis of the Saab 9-2X released in 2004 (given the tongue-in-cheek moniker, "Saabaru"). |
 | | Subaru GL/DLs became very popular in the 1980s in snowy areas due to their adaptability to extreme cold (you can count on a Subaru to start at 40 degrees below zero, this cannot be said of all cars), low price, good fuel economy, and most importantly, the four wheel drive option. |
