I use the terms "RU" or "Scoob"

Can't say i've ever heard "dub" before. I rarely even hear "REX"

We call it an FC or FD for an RX7, depending on which it is.

I always hear "Rex" for a WRX but to most Japanese, its still good ol' "Impreza WRX". If you have a WRX STi, and you refer to it as "The STi", it can't really be mistaken by others as to what car you are talking about.

I'm not sure if you were referring to me...but here's a pic of the later model 660cc version REX Combi VX some guy gave the STI-look to in Japan. (If not, more excuses to post pics).

That's what I think of too when I hear you guys call the WRX a "REX"...confuses me since I used to want one of those Subaru micro cars once upon a time.

This is a true Subaru REX...550cc of supercharged fury!
