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!

A justy?

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?

Justies were 3 doors and 5 doors, about the same size, but never a notchback. Tercels (toyo) were notchbacks.

Justy. Didn't even get a boxer motor.

Justy

Maybe the Three door Coupé?

Maybe the Loyale base model?

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.

if it Wasn`t a Hatchback, Could it was a Sambar Bus / MiniTruck, isn`t it?

You can register them in Montana as an ATV (which are road legal here).

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?

Suzuki.

I kinda like that. Is it AWD?

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

Here in NY they are chick cars.

 

I think they only sold one in the entire state, as thats all i ever see.

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.:-\

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.)

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

I almost bought one... I like 'em...

 

but check my user name.. :-\

Are you the same person as the zukiru who posts over on TeamSwift?

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..

Suzuki, Daihatsu, and Chevy all had a rebadged Subaru Justy Model for the Euro Market.

 

And there IS a justy that is a sedan....
