Otherwise we may as well just call it 2 door classic Impreza-Net.

I don't think anyone has said that they don't appreciate other models created by Subaru if you read the thread. I also think the owners contribute a lot here and have a place.
The point being made is that the term "Scooby" is synonymous with the Impreza as opposed to Subarus in general and was actually coined by people referring to Imprezas rather than "Subarus". As inaccurate as that may be considering the nick name is based on the manufacturer rather than the model... but hey ho...

It may have been insipred by scooby doo, but because of the scoop, not because of the brand name Subaru.
I may be wrong about it, but like I said - I was told so...
This could also explain why some claim that the "scooby" stands for the Impreza - I believe the term was invented in the US, where most popular Subaru's are the Impreza's and almost all of them are turbo's which of course also have the hood scoop...

Because the term is used more widely now (incorrectly or correctly depending on how you view it), but it wasn't originally applied to anything but the Impreza IMHO. Even then as has been pointed out on here already by "boy racers" as opposed to the wider general public that you are now quoting.

I'd have to beg to differ based on the following kind of comments it's clear that some people will almost foam about it:
I'm not getting into any kind of 'my car vs your car' silliness at all - all are good. Mine is not an impreza yet most people I know (mix of car people & non car people) refer to it as the scooby or scoob.
Many people will assume that you are talking about an impreza if you mention that you have a scoob/scooby, but then isn't there a saying about the relation of the word '***' to the word 'assume'?

It all comes down to how many there are out there....
Sadly nowhere near as many Leggies left now.
IMHO

P.S. The tech knowledge on these cars is also apparently much more restricted, so less activity !

Whaaat...you don't know how to do a poll of what Subarus people drive on ScoobyNet...???
Here's what you do:
1. Start a new thread
2. Give it a relevant title, like "what Impreza do you drive"....
3. etc

Number 1 isn't true, McRae first won in a Justy, and scoobynet was nearly called justynet but then they brought out the Forrester, so they called it forresternet, but that did'nt seem right. But when the Impreza came out (which is basically a stretch Justy) they decided to call it scoobynet because people could'nt spell IMPRZZIA, IMPREZZA, IMPPREZA ( see what i mean).
I think you will all find that this is the correct story

Join the club, us Plymothians all think alike! I just say Subaru, when asked, and wait for the questions, "Does it have a turbo/two turbos/(or as I have been asked once)three turbos?!" "How fast does it go, top end like?" "Why do you not have the massive spoiler"@ etc.
