your name is "skoobywrx" and you are asking this question? i think it's just because it sounds cool or something.
It is an English thing, with roots in Cockney rhyming slang. The Impreza is considered a scrappy little car -- scruffy in character. Not high in creature comforts or luxury, but it puts out when pressed. The "scruffiness" is similar to the cartoon character Scooby Do's unkemp appearance. Scooby rhymes with Soobie. QED.
Lawd above! When I lived in England fer 1/2 year, I read alot ov those Jam Jar mags, Ken' an' Dover there, an' noticed they called 'em Scoobies..... We do an' all....... Can any one tell me da origin?, innit.
