I know in Poland it means a big party or event.
But the above post is a better explanation

I should know this but I've lent my Impreza Book to Lordharding (Cumbrian Scoobs).

Sorry to be a sad git but it's something to do with the names of the constellations (stars) in the sky

Fookin quick all the same

Heavy fuel bills and big insurance with a penchant for the odd front tyre or two

Subaru is the Japanese name for the constellation we call the Seven sisters . Why there are only six stars on the Subaru badge I don't know, perhaps it was cloudy that night.

Not sure about Impreza though.

I thought Subaru was the japanese word for the constellation Pleiades, which is made up of six stars hence the badge....

That makes more sense. I was going on what I was told by a VERY well known scooby man. I won't name names!

The "missing" star is your "rusty star" When you put your foot down you can feel it twinkling

Extract from the info provided by Starry Night ...

----
The Pleiades is the most famous of all open star clusters, containing about 500 members set against a black velvet sky. This young 1st magnitude open cluster is easily visible to the unaided eye and resembles a smaller version of the Big Dipper. At least 6 hot blue stars are readily visible and keen eyed observers can see more.
----

I think I read somewhere the stars represent sister companies or something of FHI... not 100% on that though.

The Impreza was named so, because it
"leaves a fresh impression as it drives by"
