July 8, 200817 yr 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!
July 8, 200817 yr 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?
July 8, 200817 yr Justies were 3 doors and 5 doors, about the same size, but never a notchback. Tercels (toyo) were notchbacks. nipper
July 9, 200817 yr Maybe the Loyale base model? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Subaru-GL10.jpg/800px-Subaru-GL10.jpg
July 10, 200817 yr 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
July 10, 200817 yr 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...
July 10, 200817 yr 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).
July 14, 200817 yr Author 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?
July 14, 200817 yr 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
July 14, 200817 yr Here in NY they are chick cars. I think they only sold one in the entire state, as thats all i ever see. nipper
July 14, 200817 yr 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.:-\
July 14, 200817 yr 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.)
July 14, 200817 yr But I like butt-ugly I have no room to talk...I drive a 2008 Impreza 5 dr ..which many people think are ugly too
July 14, 200817 yr wasn't me... and I just checked over there for Zukiru since it wasn't in use I registered it... lol I was Zukiru on the Aerio forum... now we have an SX4.. I am not zukiru on sx4 club..
July 15, 200817 yr Suzuki, Daihatsu, and Chevy all had a rebadged Subaru Justy Model for the Euro Market. And there IS a justy that is a sedan....
