Mike Kamm Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I saw a very small Subaru on the highway the other day and can't remember what the model was. It was the size of a Festiva [maybe even smaller] but was not a hatchback. I would guess it was from the early 90's or so. Anyone know what it was? It looked like it would get killer gas mileage!

Jerry DeMoss Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 A justy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 the only thing remotely close is a justy - so i would think that has to be it. although those are hatchbacks - maybe you just didn't notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Justies were 3 doors and 5 doors, about the same size, but never a notchback. Tercels (toyo) were notchbacks. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Justy. Didn't even get a boxer motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Maybe the Three door Coupé? Edited August 30, 2014 by Loyale 2.7 Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiji22 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Maybe the Loyale base model? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Subaru-GL10.jpg/800px-Subaru-GL10.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy FitzGibbon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Loyale base model? No such thing- there were Loyale sedans and Loyale wagons, and that was it. There were only a few options and no "base" or upscale models, to my knowlege. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 if it Wasn`t a Hatchback, Could it was a Sambar Bus / MiniTruck, isn`t it? you can't make those street legal stateside, last time I checked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 you can't make those street legal stateside, last time I checked... You can register them in Montana as an ATV (which are road legal here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kamm Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi guys, Thanks for the replies. This had me baffled for a while, but after asking the same question on the NASIOC forum, I realized it must not have been a Subaru. Check the thread out HERE. After all of the guesses, it helped me narrow it down. Anyway, this was the car in question: Anyone know who made these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwbaru2 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I kinda like that. Is it AWD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Most if not all of them were. They were only out for a couple of years in the mid-'90s, and they didn't sell too well (how many people do you know that want to buy a two-door sporty SUV with a removable roof and a trunk?) They were based on the Vitara/Tracker/Sidekick platform. I'd like to own one...someday...it'd look good next to my Metro convertible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Here in NY they are chick cars. I think they only sold one in the entire state, as thats all i ever see. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I have always found them to be pretty much...butt ugly..But we all have an opinion..And I think its like nipper says...only 1 was sold in this area..There was a reason for it.:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 But I like butt-ugly and I don't mind driving chick cars (hence a yellow New Beetle and a yellow Geo Metro ragtop). I want a Yugo Cabrio someday too. (Also...if I'm remembering correctly, most X-90s came in purple, royal blue, and pastel metallic paints.)
