IMPORTPETE

driving around chesterfield and sheffield waved to numerous new shape(meaning the new hatchback type) and no wave off any of them had waves off all the others classics, blob eye, bug eye, hawkeye but for some reason hatch drivers arent carrying on the scooby wave perhaps it will go down with subaru making an impreza look like that.

Hawk Eyes wave. Well at least I do..

Had the unfortunate event of test driving the new STI yesterday.

I do hope they sort it out as its not a scooby to me. Just doesn't sound right let alone the looks. Hopefully a Colin Mcrae version before my 3 years is up next year!

Oh you have to wave! It's how we teach each new generation of Scooby owners! I was so proud my little scooby I was waving to ALL subaru drivers.

My theory is the Subaru was designed by a Mitsubishi Owner. No way Im getting the hatch unless it changes dramatically. WIll either wait a few years then import a GTR or get a Mitsu I'm afraid .... Or just continue upgrading my scooby...

Snazy

I wave, nod, flash whatever suits the mood (in a hawkeye)
I think the "issue" is, its not actually in the handbook, or mentioned during servicing, so some people really dont have a clue what "the wave" is about

Of course there are some people who think they are better than others, and in that case............... knobber lol

I was most suprised to see scoob drives waving at me. I am used to it from my classic mini but I wasn't expecting it in the scoob, it's a nice bonus!

At least people in other areas wave or even flash. Over here you`d be lucky to even get a nod

I’d better stop waving then, don’t want to upset your theory. Copious threads saying no one ever sees the new Impreza on the road hence they are ugly and no one buys them. Now suddenly in Chesterfield and Sheffield there are numerous tailgates on the road but they are just rude instead.

i always wave or flash think some people just buy them cos they have heard there good or fast whatever they just dont understand what the wave is about

YXD

My lass waves at all subarus even farmers in their justys as long as they're men. But I think that's for different reasons.

Its when she's flashing her lights in the car park though I get really worried!!

powerman1

I dont wave as much now because its bloody embarrasing when you wave and the other drivers ignores you especiallly when you have passengers in with you.Mines an hawkeye

Thats sooooo true

DCTim

I always get ignored. I drive a blob-eye. I never get anything from newages/08s/classics. Not a thing. Miserable gits around here I tells ya!

flat4 to the floor

just bought my first my97 and got 3 waves in 3 days when i was a pajero club member not one in 4 years lol.even when i picked it up i had a blob eye come up behind me at 70 goes round me waving and then just gentley pulls away.when i had rs all you got was **** wanting to race all the time yet in the pretz it does not happen people seem more polite.as someone else said it is a nice feeling and even better knowing that i can go out and not have dicks sticking to my bumper as soon as i get out the street.

hahahaha I have actually just laughed out loud!

Makes me laugh when people in newer or better model Imrezas give you the overly smug I'm better than you look.

Had exactly the same thing with a WR1 driver the other day. I waved he shook his head laughed and dropped it down a gear. I kept with him for a little while and then just waved and cleared off.

500bhp on tap in a 10 year old car LOLOLOLOL.
Yes I know it was a bit chavish but had he not laughed I probably wouldn't have bothered.

It was satisfying though. Especially when we slowed down and he couldn't bring himself to look at me.

projectsubaru

I agree with this 100% i bought a classic because it was the one i wanted.Some people driving more expensive/newer scoobs think they are better than classic drivers so it is nice to show them sometimes that original is best. However im quite happy to acknowledge a wave off them if they do wave and are not beig stuck up.
