superu Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Its not just us crazy yanks that miss the brat. Obviously the baja didn't do it for many folks (too big and heavy and not cool enough), so some folks in the UK, are bringing it back! Well at least one... http://www.htautos.co.uk/8.html# And i understand Suby's going to get into AWD motorcycles, and bring out a minivan. .. Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnuman Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 As for the minivan, what do you think the Tribeca actually is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 that truck is about the most hideous thing i've ever seen and if i see one more thread about it, i'm gonna puke completely lame IMHO :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbird Man Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hey, I think its creative, I have even thought of the same thing. you really need to like the brat to get this. I think "hidious" is rather insulting, the work itself is well done. if you don't like the idea fine, but I for one woulden't mind getting an old 4 door and doing this myself. Though I would go a step further and split the taillights and made an actual tailgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 i think its pretty sharp meself, but i`m a brat kinda guy;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbird Man Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 oh, and the only info i found on subie AWD motorcycles was a spoof. http://www.soundrider.com/Apr06/subaru_AWD_motorcycles.htm link at the bottom takes you to a page explaining it was a spoof.

operose Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 with regards to awd motorcycles... rokons are 2wd off road motorcycles.. check them out.. dad's got a couple.. I think they would compliment a lifted brat nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbird Man Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think this would probibly destroy a Rokon, no offence. http://www.christini.com/motorcycle/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operose Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think this would probibly destroy a Rokon, no offence.http://www.christini.com/motorcycle/index.php maybe with regards to going fast.. but a rokon will f$ckin float, man!! not only that but i'd bet it will go up a MUCH steeper incline than that other bike too.. http://www.rokon.com/products/index.htm the trailbreaker model will haul 1000 pounds and tow 3000 by all accounts, these things are the subarus of motorcycles, imo.. and they've been around since the 1950's, so it's a tested design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 those rokons are rugged as hell, my pop used to have one, it was spray painted black and purple:grin: it would climb a tree if you wanted it to, it also had some lunker tires on it, with wheels you could fill with water.

Tbird Man Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I really think subaru should make an impreza based Brat, I bet they would sell to the people who want a truck's utility and a cars ease of driveing and mileage. If I did this I would deffinitly use an OBS though. maybe I can find a rear ended one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
