Thumbs down

Read in AutoExpress recently that Subaru were considering changin their range names from Impreza, Legacy etc. to a German Style numer system!! The Impreza being known as a "5"... Dear god surely not! Has anyone else seen, heard or read about this from another source???

Is this the same Auto Express who tried to pass off a crudely Photoshopped pic of a WR Car as the "Road eating new 22B successor"?

Nuff said methinks - I'd wait until seeing some other confirmation before believing this little nugget.

Question

Who exactly bought the car because of the name? Or, for that matter, the styling?

Not many, I shouldn't have thought. I bought it because of the handling and the fantastic turbocharged torque from the engine. I'm sure most of the rest of us did too.

Provided that Subaru continue to make a similar performance car in their next line-up, I'll be happy. They could call it the 'mincer' for all I care

It would be badly thought out if they did drop the name. But if they do, mine will still be an Impreza, and it doesn't mince either.
