'i' grille badges
 

Bit of a random question but I can't remember seeing it answered before, just wondered what the 'i' on the grille badge of JDM classics stands for exactly?

IMPREZA...??

PMSL, that would be the obvious answer wouldn't it :lol1: You know those mornings where you just can't see the wood for the trees? :brickwall :D Time to go back to bed I think!

that wos only a guess btw...

some scooby boff may come along later and make us both look silly eh

hahaha

i thought impreza to . what about import :wonder: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

Impreza !

:)

I thought it was the logo for "STI", but why would they have just the last letter as a logo?, maybe wrong.

It the sti logo I think?

no, its impreza, unless its a pink badge.. then its sti,

wrx imports normally have a black badge with an i..

LOL 'I'mpreza.

And UK cars have black badges IIRC.

I actually asked someone this once and they said it means "Import". I think I've only ever seen them on imports so must be true?

It's Import

If it's import then the jap ones wouldn't have the same badge, which they do! they're not imports over there you know :rolleyes: :D

It's I for Impreza.

Think the 'I' badges are standard on Jap STI's. As far as I was aware I think it stands for the I from STI.

Thats what I thought. Never seen one on a WRX. :wonder:

****.........i just put one of them on my 04 sti , i liked the pink badge with the i and now i found out it belongs to the classic shape.

My JDM WRX bugeye has an 'I' badge on the grill. I is for Impreza! I remember reading that in japan the Impreza is sold as a marque rather than just a model.

My 95 Jap WRX has the black "i" on the grill

My wife recons it means "Imbecile" on mine :wonder:

Kev

:lol1: My wife said the same thing (Not about you but about the I badge. Women eh? :Suspiciou (Checks to make sure Mrs aint around, or its "Give her a slap and for phone the ambulance for myself"")

It's Impreza. My 95 wrx import had it. My current import has the subaru stars badge. Both were black with silver writing.

The JDM classic shape STi comes with both the badges with I or with the stars, both with a pink background.

Not sure that it means Impreza though? DId any of the "legacy"s come with the I badge??

spot on mate:thumb: :thumb:

(very nice of subaroooo for there educational contribution to society)

Nah, only messin.

The Imprezas were originally a concept of the computer company Apple?

They kept the i there as a bit of respect to there founding fathers - true to there roots, holla.
Anything with i on it takes off pretty well, iPod, iMac, iTunes etc
