What if Subaru didn't exist?
 

If Subaru didn't exist, what car would you drive, and why?

My answer - I would say that the BMW M3, G35x, or 09 Audi S4. Since it has been a long time since I bought my car, I would have to do a crap-load if research before I made my final decision. I like the aforementioned cars because they look pretty/what I have heard.

Unimog.

mazdaspeed3 for sure.

At this point, no idea. At the time I bought my RS, it would have ended up being a Celica GTS.

Late 60's Bronco with a turbocharged 5.0 FI engine. Early 70's 240Z with turbocharged 5.0 FI engine. 1971 Corvette with original 454 sitting in my garage awaiting restoration.

Nice...

I'd go back to an Audi as well.

Probably a Toyota Tacoma.

A toyota FJ. and an Evo MR.

If Subaru didn't exist, either I'd have a pile of money in the bank, or a 10 second Thunderbird. :lol:

Heck, you could have both. 10 second Mustangs aren't that hard to build, right?

QFT. And probably a Cressida with S13 suspension, dumped on the ground. And a Lincoln Continental, and probably a half-dozen other random piles that looked fun "at the time".


Me with a big garage/storage space is going to be dangerous, given my past proclivities towards acquiring vehicles. I've owned the same car twice and driven it once in that time, lol. 3 Legacy Turbos and an FC RX7 mean I'm a glutton for punishment.

An Evo 9 me thinks...

Seven years ago I had a 69' Bronco with a 351 Cleveland sitting on 35" BFG's, 3" Rancho lift plus 1" body. The 5-8 MPG's and every weekend fix-it's got old.....that was when gas was under $2 also.
I would love to have it back as a "fun" car, and not a DD.
It was loud, nasty, smelled like antifreeze, gas, oil and any other fluid that could possibly leak, or get blown out the exhaust, but I loved it.

Probably an Audi and a Pickup... Oh wait, I have those. ;)

A monster motor mn12 T-Bird would certainly be a lot cheaper than my WRX ended up being, but actually getting it into the 10's would probably have been serious money... that car weighs 2 tons.

What is your WRX running? (when it is running)

1/4 mile? Who knows, I have no interest in breaking my car to go straight for 11 to 14 seconds.

same here

It was between a tacoma and my first wrx. Probably would've saved a lot of money :lol:

Integra

god that would suck.

I'd still be driving a corolla.

Seriously. I sold a light metalicy blue 89 Integra to buy my WRX. I'd proably still be driving it today. At least you're the right size for that car. I never looked more like a fat white American than I did getting out of that thing.

Funny thing is, back in '01(When the WRX was starting to come over/being introduced)I used to own/drive a TRD Tacoma, an(mkiv) Supra and a Celica.. so I know what you mean... But I do kinda miss my Audi.

I agree, great car for the money.

I'd still have a beat-up Eagle Vision TSi.

+1

If I didn't have my Subi to put all my $$$ into, I'd probably have put it all into my '74 Jeep CJ-5.

I would probably still be driving my POS ford escort.

I've never owned a Subaru. Do I win something?

You win a state that is equal parts red and blue.

Awesome. I've always wanted one of those.

Mazdaspeed3, Evo 9, Tacoma, or bmw 330xi

I'd still be driving my 90 Integra GS-R (still have it, just don't drive it), my 85 Celica GTS, or I would have bought an Aussie 1972 Holden Monaro HQ

Seconded

Oh wait!

When did you get that, or did you?

Picked it up a couple of weeks ago off my Dad :D

He seems to think 172k on an '03 Tacoma is 'getting up there'

Sounds like it is just getting broken in... Congrats. 4X4?

2wd, will still need the Subaru on snow days.
