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."
