Just like the WRX is called the REX and the STI has been called "sty" like "pig sty" , but that's retarded and people who say that should not be allowed to talk.

The funny thing is, "Rex" is actually an old Subaru model.

"Here in the UK, the car is affectionately known as Scooby after the cartoon character Scooby Doo, which rhymes with Subaru. The first film reference known is in the 1989 film Always in which Richard Dreyfuss is a Subaru car salesman and his friend John Goodman refers to him as selling Scooby Doos.

Meanwhile in Australia the common nickname is Rex, which rhymes with WRX."
