View Full Version : ImpreZa... ImpreZZa... what's the deal?? Jewbaru 06-14-2001, 11:13 AM I've seen people spell it ImpreZZa more and more. Why? On everything Subaru, and anything even mentioning the car, it's spelled with one Z. It seems the "knowledgable car types" are the only one's who spell it with 2 Zs. Why? Dori Dori 06-14-2001, 11:21 AM It's actually spelled Imprezzzzzzzzzza. You are all wrong. :D sjt 06-14-2001, 11:35 AM The badge on my trunk sez 2.5RS Impreza :D RacerinLSL 06-14-2001, 12:00 PM Joel, I tried researching this about a year ago and could not find out. I agree though, the people that say or publish it with two z's seem to be knowledgable. I don't know if it's in the translation or what. Chad Fish 06-14-2001, 12:04 PM I thought there were no "z"'s doh! andyC 06-14-2001, 02:31 PM Impretsa? SubieKidTK 06-14-2001, 02:36 PM Mmmmmmm..pretzels *drools* =Ty= bryanw 06-14-2001, 02:38 PM Yea, it happens in the translation. It's pronounced "Impretsa". The "ts" sound is usually translated to a "zz" in translations (pizza, Mike Piazza). I really don't know why they can't look at Subaru's media kits or look on the G.D. back of the car to spell the name right. But the only thing I have to say is the world is full of morons. akrieg 06-14-2001, 02:40 PM I prefer the 'Im-PRET-sa' pronunciation Subie Gal 06-14-2001, 02:44 PM Im-prets-za is how the brits say it... heehehee... they talk funny :D but i like it ;) j. www.subiegal.com (http://www.subiegal.com) johnfelstead 06-14-2001, 02:48 PM Hey, Subie Gal , Watch it babe. :p ;) (am i in for a kicking now ;) ) How often do i have to remind you Yanks, you speak the ENGLISH language (barely) ;) It's you that talk funny but i like it too. :D It's Impreza said "Impresa" No zeeeeeeeeeeeeeees over here, its zed.

Jewbaru 06-14-2001, 02:58 PM ahh, ok, so it's just because they're morons, and think they're cool "translating" it into english the phonetically correct.
