10 Popular Vehicles and How They Got Their Names
Subaru Impreza
Most Subaru models are synonymous with the great outdoors—think Forester, Outback, Crosstrek and Ascent. In the case of the Impreza, the company simply coined a name that derives from an originally Italian word, "impresa," meaning a badge or motto. However, marketing says it also stands for "the car with an added impression of youth, lightness and sportiness," and "giving a fresh impression to a new era."
