Subaru Impreza= Mutsuraboshi Amazra
WRX=REx
STi (Subaru Technica International)=
MTi Mutsuraboshi Technica International
Forester=Woodlander (making words up)
Baja=Dakar (As in thinking Baja and Dakar have off-roading in common)
Outback=Outback (Until I can come up with something)
Figuring out a name for the Legacy was easy, I just used a synonym. Impreza is a bit tougher because its not really a word, its a Japanese slang for "Party" and I don't think there is a direct Japanese word equivalent. Besides, most Japanese cars that sell on the world market do not use proper Japanese words/names. So I just made a name up out of a twisting the word Amaze around. REx comes from that a lot of Subaru owners refer to the WRX as a Rex. RE stands for Rally Engineered, x just fills out the name. I considered calling an Outback a Dundee but gah to that. X.X I'm just calling it Outback for now, since I have no idea what else to call it.
Fnork nice find on the Mutsuraboshi referance, even I did'nt know that until I looked it up.

Here is some info on the history of Subaru for everyone else.
Subaru is a Japanese word meaning "unite." It is also a term identifying the Pleiades star cluster in the constellation Taurus that includes six stars visible to the average eye. According to Greek mythology, Atlas' daughters turned into this group of stars.
In 1953, five Japanese companies merged to form Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. The new corporation adopted the "Subaru" cluster of stars as its official logo for its line of automobiles. Today, Fuji Heavy Industries is a global transportation conglomerate.
