Is the MSP a Subaru?

[msp03.5]

I think most of us do take it as a compliment. I know I do...

The day I bought my yellow MP3 and drove it home for the first time, I passed a friend and later they asked me if it was an EVO. I told them "I wish". People mistake my MSP for a subie all the time. I guess if you take a quick glance at the color it is very similar to the STI.

I constantly get a hand wave from subie owners too. I think it is the large fogs that confuse most people.

So far, I've not gotten many of those comments. I've heard Evo before. However, I don't recall many (if any) 4 door sport compacts coming in a bright orange. The only one in orange that strikes me at the moment is the Sentra SE-R. But it's burnt orange.

As far as the MS3 and WRX, I see it in the front and profile. The MSP and a Subie... nope.

Then again, some people are just automotively ignorant when it comes to appearance. I've been pointing out Mazda5's on the road for last 3 weeks (as my wife will soon be getting one and she claims she never sees them out and about). Even when I point one out a 1/4 ahead coming in the opposite direction she still says "You sure? I can't even tell."

Edit: Someone should photoshop (I don't have PS or else I would) the Subie emblems onto a Lazer 03.5 and get on some forums and start claiming it was a limited production Subie that was released in certain markets. It would absolultely slay me if it made it to the Subie forums and even they were convinced...

unfortunately its not a subie...........i wouldnt worry about people mistaking the msp for a subie.the subie is far supperior to the msp so take it as a compliment

Far superior..... Ok hahahaha

I got Evo a couple times and subaru a lot. I was even at an auto x event and they announced my car as an Evo lol!

i get evo and subi all the time

 

[mspeedP5]

Quite regularly I get people referring to my car as a Mazda 5...

 

[MP3Night]

I get mistaken for a subi all the time, which I'm cool with because that's one of my favorite cars, but I was driving up to a mazda meet and they thought I was one...I thought that was really funny

 

[Zack]

what might throw off more people is im a subie look alike with EVO wheels

 

[MSP626]

I've gotten that my car looks like a Subaru plenty of times. I finally asked why they though it looked like a Subaru, and they said it has the same stance and the spoiler on the 03 looks kinda the same. I was ok! Thanks for clearing that up for me! I don't see it but ok!

i was driving through a cruise about two years ago. there is mainly old muscle cars out but i like to make the loop atleast once. anyways, i was passing a group of some good ol' drunk 'murican boys and one of them stands up and yells "NICE EVO FAGGOT!". i couldnt help but laugh lol

 

[BadBandar]

I remember when i got my corbeau seats. The ups lady said "Do u know there are kids dying in Haiti and ur buying racing seats. Haha jk. Oh, Nice Subaru!"

Now i felt bad about the the first part. But the Subaru art was completely uncalled for. That b****. lol.

the ass of a 2004ish camry from a distance look like a 3rd gen protege's back and the fd's front look like a corvette and fd's back look like those old taurus

After I got bronze wheels, I got it so often that I stopped correcting people.

What's even funnier, is that when I had my Subaru (A silver, obscenely slow, bug-eyed 2.5 RS), people used to ask me if it was a Neon or a Volkswagen...

 

[Rush]

I used to get the WRX mix-up sometimes. Never quite understood why, considering there's no color of WRX that's close to titanium.

I even get mix-ups with my G. Had some guy ask me if it was an Acura a few weeks ago. I guess the Mt Fuji emblem kinda looks like an A?

 

[Familia_345]

i get it all the time and seeing that my colour scheme is blue and gold makes it no better lol

 

[Blueeyedblue]

At least you guys where getting mistaken for something respectable..... I kept getting ....... and I quote ...... " Hey nice escort man!" .............. WTF.........

 

[mgerst1]

yeah, just wait for the laser blue guys to see this... they'll be all over it.

I've never personally had my car confused with anything, apparently all the people I know are smart enough to say "What is that" instead of pretending they know. being wingless probably helps with this issue too. lol

omg I hate this, i always get told that I have a great looking wrx. Just because my car is blue does not mean I have a wrx. I even considered getting vanity plates that said NOTAWRX to avoid any further confusion
