Good lord. Actually, one of my biggest peeves is automakers having an emblem with their name written out (eg "SUBARU")

Everyone knows it's a Subaru. You put the logo badge on it. Stop wasting chromed plastic extrusions.

Needs some of those lifestyle badges.

I'm not certain, about that being a Subaru, but perhaps some more badges would clear that up for me.

I forgot about those, and also very crooked, someone should remove that arts badge

But does it have ABS?? What about DOHC? I can't tell without a badge

Is it a turbo? Does it have an automatic? Is it a special edition? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW

Is that real? Like merit badges? Do you have to go to a camp counselor and have a quiz before you're awarded one?

Karrbon Fiber > Turbineguy: Nom de Zoom 10/14/2014 at 17:52

Why? If I were to own one, I'd at least de-badge the left side. People know its a Subaru and will assume its AWD.

Does it have PECS? Or GLUTES??

ranwhenparked > Turbineguy: Nom de Zoom 10/14/2014 at 19:30

Yeah, that is a bit excessive. A) we know it's AWD, it's a US-market Subaru. You've built your whole brand over the last two decades by marketing yourselves as having "symetrical AWD with good emmpeegeees standard", you can't buy a Subaru here without AWD, so it's not like it's a special feature. You don't put giant "Seat Belts" badges on the back.

Also, PZEV, is that important enough to put back there? Most companies just put a sticker in a side window or something.

You pretty much answered your own question, mate.

Because excessive emblems.

Lots of room for more emblems. Slacker.

Why the blanked out plate?

It is an actual thing you can buy from Subaru.

The parts guys must rag on the customers that actually buy this shit.

I know I would. This is worse than the stick-figure family.

But you can tell the world that this is your 5th Subaru, you own a dog and are into snow shoeing.

Just wait for the inevitable spinoff emblems, to let the world know you're into swinging, crystal meth, exhibitionism and butt sex. Thanks Subaru.

Well, in this case, their logo badge is their name. Acceptable. Ford, Land Rover, et al are in the same boat. If they had another badge with their name written out, I'd get right over there and slap the crap out of them.

Jeeper1 > MIATAAAA 10/15/2014 at 15:28

You mean like this?

Still acceptable IMHO.

I need more reference. It shouldn't say "JEEP" twice on any single surface.

never forget that most people are stupid and will not realize that most subarus only come in awd. it's advertising and probably the #1 reason my mom drives a subaru.

Differential placements. Windshield for the "Sarge" logo (lights and grill). The decal on raised panel is on the side and there is also a jeep logo (word only on the front above the grill).

The new Porsche 911's are worse than that, they kept putting letters on until they ran out of room.. a blow dryer and dental floss will relieve the car of the ridiculous amount of badging

Sure, but Subaru is still the biggest abuser

JPS > CalzoneGolem 10/16/2014 at 21:36

but they don't have the lifestyle badges for hunting or target shooting. I asked :)

They allow the first two(?) for free along with the main 1st/2nd/28th badge. You order by VIN so my plan was to get as many Subaru vins from friends and cars on eBay and order a shit ton to make a long ass badge like that.... then I un-retarded myself and got the 200k+, the rally one, and a wrench. Because when you rally a 200k Subaru, shit breaks.

CalzoneGolem > Takuro Spirit 10/23/2014 at 07:50

If you're rallying and shit doesn't break you probably weren't rallying hard enough.

Buy? You get these for free when you buy a car from them. I still have mine (because they never went on the car)

Or you can DIY, like I have done. Dental floss and a heat gun, everything comes off...
