edit-(last statement was stoopid
)
i think the quote is sufficient enough

 

wow i'm learning a lot about Mitsubishi.

Is Subaru having stuff like this?
I know that a lot of rich people over in cali seem to think Subarus are nothing but junk.

 

 

I would like mine wearing silver! The Lancer EVO is a great car and has my utmost respect.

 

Actually, Subaru only has a junk reputation on the Mainland b/c for the longest time, Subarus were associated with cheapness, smallness, and blandness. Recently, they've been associated with soccer moms, granola-eating earth-lovers, and of course dykes.
In Europe and Asia, Subaru is actually a real power player. It's got a reputation for reliability, and of course sportiness due to its WRC heritage (most Americans have no idea what WRC even is, at least until recently). Also, Subaru's history is quite interesting; the Japanese TV show "Project X: Innovators" did a story on Subaru's roots (I'm sure gdogg knows the story hehe).
As a side note, Subarus are wildly popular in Hong Kong :banana:

 

Oh, and another Mitsubishi fun fact: there was a limited edition Lancer Evolution V called the "Zero Fighter Edition" -- its theme was, you guessed it, the WWII plane. It had special badging and some minor dress-up modifications, and there was overall interior theme of the Zero.
Obviously, it sold poorly not only because of its less-than-popular theme, but also because it was about 1.5 times the cost of a Lan Evo V GSR without much of a performance improvement

Dunno about the rest of you guys, but a Sunday night staple of mine is "The L-Word" on Showtime. One of the leads in the show is a recently outed tennis player that is sponsored by Subaru, she got the sponsorship because she is beautiful, athletic and decidedly gay. She drives a Forester 2.5XT.

 

Mmmmmm... Turbo Forester... *droooooool*
Mmmmmm... hot lesbians... *droooooool*
:banana: :banana:

 

you are so wrong- politically speaking

on a side note. . . if subaru had the money , can u imagine if fuji heavy industries bought out the mitsu motor div?

 

Wow so much interesting facts for me to remember then probably forget in 10 minutes. Then it will be like reading it all over again.

I kind of guessed that the general American doesn't realize the greatness of the impreza in the wrc. Almost like how America is the only country to not care about soccer.

I don't think Japanese people would be to enthusiastic about the WWII edition since nearly everyone starved to death. I wouldn't want to remember that stuff.

Thanks for the great info

 

I know most lesbians usually don't look like the ones on the show, but in that show, they are definitely hot! Jennifer Beals (Flashdance) still looks great!

 

My friend just visited from Japan and related that the Mitsubishi's financial woes are the talk of the town. Sad....
