why are they called scoobys? sorry new to the subaru crowd!

Think "Subie" and take it from there.

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.
