I've just got back from the Sorrento peninsula after 2 weeks and I didn't see one Subaru of any type whilst there.

I was thinking it would be great for a bunch of Scoobies to go there. The locals would wonder what had hit them! Although I think the Italians prefer looks to outright performance so they might turn up their noses.

 

Sold as the Impreza GT I believe. Ive seen Italian Policemen driivng Legacys btw...

Is that like asking if they sell Pizza

 

After posting the thread I found the Italian Subaru website so that answered that question.

Maybe it was just the area I was in. You saw the odd Ferrari and Lambo but most were Fiat group stuff with manditory scuffs and dents. The BMW Mini was very popular as well, their streets are so narrow there it's pointless having a bigger car unless you really need it.

 

Lucky bugger. Only been there once, for a day, as part of our honeymoon cruise round the med. & thought it was the best out of all the places we visited during that fortnight.

 

They have good cars like Fiats and Alfas so they don't need scoobs

 

Well . . . . I believe they do sell Subaru's in Wopaly . . . . .

My former dear Italian colleagues really admired my car, and one even pointed out that he intended to buy his friends Subaru, but he wrote it off . .

And when I showed an Italian girl a picture of my WRX her remark was

" But it isa verya uglya " - followed by intense laughter . .

 

i was in rome in march and whilst in the line for the vatican i spotted a subaru at the main entrance. so the answer to your question is yes they do sell subaru,s in italy and the f*cking POPE of all people has got one

 

How the story actually went

 

Yes Andy ! Very good!

MAte . .But she saw the Subaru rather, and all I heard was laughter, followed by the remark of " But it isa verya uglya car . . ." . . And when I remarked that I have tinted windows, she laughed even harder . . .

 

So . . Do you think Papa Ratsi goes drifting in St.Peter's square!

 

i did post a "was it you" when i got back but the pope must of missed it , maybe he was busy doing whatever it is pope,s do that day.

 

So . .Did the "was it you" post sound anything along the lines of "GEEZER with white hair spotted drifting in ROme St.Peter square" . .Excelent . . .But please remind me . .When the college of Cardinals elect a new Pope, do they announce it do the world with a loud exhaust note from a WRX??? . . .Or is it to do with some tyre smoke???
