This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. It should make us all proud to see how far Subaru has come.

I really thought they were going for an upskirt shot on that "really groovy chick" getting out of her sub-AH-roo :lol:

 

One of my local dealerships has a 360 van outside the showroom! They won't let me drive it for some reason....

I've driven the 360 on GT5 on the PS3 and it was glacially slow around Monte-Carlo.

 

Specs

 

 

The first U.S. Subaru is the 360.

This very small rear wheel drive minicar had a 2-stroke, 25 horsepower 356 cc engine (thus the 360 name), weighed under 1000 pounds, got 66.3 mpg, went 0-50 in over 37 seconds. and cost $1,297 + prep.

It came in a few models: 2 door sedan, then the "Young S" 2 dr sedan, minivan (that's me in the white 5 door van below), a truck version, and even a mini race car too. There may have been as many as 10,500 (8,300 sedan, 2,200 van) of these imported through 1969, though they weren't exactly a best seller.

Check out my classifieds page to buy or sell one. Consumer Reports rating: not acceptable.
