Correct answer is Always - Richard Dreyfuss

Damn me spelling...

Here in the UK, the car is affectionately known as Scooby after the cartoon character Scooby Doo, which rhymes with Subaru. The first film reference known is in the 1989 film Always in which Richard Dreyfuss is a Subaru car salesman and his friend John Goodman refers to him as selling Scooby Doos

SiW, you got the film right but I wanted the year too

Hail Hail wins

In the film, John Goodman asks Dreyfuss how it is going selling Scooby Doos. Dreyfuss replies that they are called Subarus

The year was 1989.

Hmmmm

How about I send you one each?
Who wants the left and who wants the right?




Seriously, I'll mail you both a code word, which you can say to Paul to let him know you are the right person

It's purely coincidental that I too get my car serviced at ScoobySport!
