BOXRPWR Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 happened again today. sitting at a stop light. a guy in a crotch-rocket pulls up close on my driver's door between lanes. I see him (dark faceshield) scanning my car front to back. he lifts his shield and jestures towards my window. I roll it down. He yells out, "What kind of car is that?" Of course, I say its a Subaru Legacy. He asks me if its a '07? I say no. Its a '05 and I got over 50k miles on it. He says, "man, I never saw one of those before. Is it as fast as the STI?" I answered, well it can be even faster. They share basically the same engine. He gives a thumb's up and rides away when the light turns green. I can't add up all the times I've been asked what kind of car is the Legacy. Incredible how poor a job SOA does marketing this beauty. Forget about a commercial raving on all the performance features. They just need a 30 second spot ad that slowly moves up and down the lines of this car and let its gorgeous design sell itself. I'm not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabydanimal Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 sigh "No, it's not a Toyota, it's a Subaru. yes I'm sure." and "oh, it's a 4 banger, yes it's peppy, trust me" I'm also tired of my friends calling me an old man. They know better but they still give me crap for my "grand-pa car" I wish Subaru would let people know what this damn car is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOXRPWR Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 tell your friends to line up against "grandpa's car" and then enjoy their facial expressions when they finally pull up next to you about a mile down the road. priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphyralph5 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Similar thing happened to me yesterday: I'm in Wendy's Drive-Thru, I pull up to the window, pay, and get my food. As i'm about to pull off i hear "IS THAT A STICK SHIFT?", i look around but don't see anyone. The drive thru window opens again: Wendy's Employee: "Is that a Stick shift?" Me: "Yeah" W.E.: "Really? Doesn't look like it would have a manual tranny" Me: "Yeah, well it does" W.E.: "What kind of car is that?" Me: "It's a Subaru" W.E.: "That's a Legacy right?" Me: (Surprised) "YEAH" W.E.: "YOU ROCK MAN, I LOVE SUBARU'S...ANYTIME YOU COME TO WENDY'S COME SEE ME, MY NAME IS _______." Me: "Damn Boss, Thanks" W.E.: "She sounds MEAN!" Me: "Thanks man, see you later" W.E.: "Later" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emomoonbase Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 At work three different people asked me how fast my new "lexus" is. I got to hand it to subaru, they have styled the legacy very handsomely and lots of people like it. Now they just need to get the name spread around a little more so people actually know what the heck it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's a, a, well it's a Subaru....No, really...Why is that funny?...No, it's not my mom's car....Hey, where are you going? Voiceover: "Subaru, you'd better be really, really good-looking." P.
