Thanks for the posts, supporting that no matter waht Subaru you drive, they are ALL Scoobs.
It would be intesting if the SN Managaement would offer an opinion?? Regards Alan MaC 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... |
I believe I have been told once, that the term "scooby" was invented from a word "scoop" and therefore stands for every Subaru with a hood scoop, no matter the model... :cuckoo:

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... :wonder: 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... |

The impreza is the only desired subaru,why dont they rally legacy`s ?
ah yes,thats why........ scooby is an impreza, go upto anyone and say i own a scooby, then ask them what model they think it is.... 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 'ass' to the word 'assume'? ;) |
It all comes down to how many there are out there....
Sadly nowhere near as many Leggies left now. IMHO DunxC P.S. The tech knowledge on these cars is also apparently much more restricted, so less activity ! |
Why not just have a poll to see what everyone has, ie: Impreza, Forester, Legacy etc.
Then you may get your answer! :) |
Good idea.
Bit thick, how do you do that then??:wonder: Regards Alan MaC |

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;) |

Scooby is a chav term for a Subaru Impreza as far as I'm concerned.
..it may have been a coolish tag 10 years ago or so,but now it's so totally lame it just makes me cringehttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...adbanana-1.gif EDIT: And yes i did have an impreza turbo 11 years ago, but still then never called it a scooby. |
