Hah, yes this is very important. But, since most people don't know about the REX, you can assume that 99% of people use Rex to mean WRX.

Alot of people with in the honda comunity also refer to their CRXs as REX. I did not realize Subaru made a car named REX, I thought most used it as shortened slang for WRX like we did for CRX

The Rex is a fun little car. My boss had one, he had no clue what he had, it was given to him.

He asked me to try it out for him....I was surprised how eager it was to get up and go.

Oh, the main competition was from Suzuki...surprisingly similar car...the Alto Works.
