IMPREZA literally interpreted from the local Japanese dialect means:

Foo kin stupid fashion bandwagon jumping small penis usually bald headed kissing rep boys who think their cool when the car was cool for about a week and everyone else thinks your a w anker and no just because it has a prodrive plaque doesn't make it anything like a race car you t wat

hope that assists

it doesn`t mean much but here`s the history lesson.

The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that was 1st presented by Subaru in 1993. also to filling the small car market part among Subaru's offerings in the Japanese, U.S., European and different other markets, the Impreza chassis rose to prominence in rally racing more effectively than Subaru's last contenders. previously, Subaru had fielded its bigger, mid size car, the Legacy, for rally reasons. but, as rally competition shifted toward smaller and lighter chassis, Subaru needed a smaller and faster car—a role in which the Impreza was now successful and in which the Impreza continues to compete effectively, although in more powerful variants than were firstly presented.

It most likely does not mean anything. Many car businesses hire outside companies to pick names that are memorable and distinctive while evoking meaning. My guess is that the name is evocative of the word "impressed", and is easy to pronounce and remember in most languages. It sounds simple but car businesses pay millions of dollars to pick the right name for a car.

"Impreza" is a coined word, deriving from an first Italian word, impresa, meaning a badge or motto. In Polish, "Impreza" also means to celebrate, or party.

Unclear, but it seems that it was a made up name check out these excerpts & links:

"When Subaru presented its rather bland Impreza, the "impressive sounding" name was not much help to sales. But once it began making a repute in rallying although as a wildly different real car, the name became sexy in the extreme to the boy racer breed, and the add ons to the bodywork today reflect that market."

And links to the Subaru Impreza holders relations in the US & UK:

Maybe it does not stand for anything. It may be just what they called it. Like Avensis Toyota does not stand for anything, it is just what they called it.

Like other posts have said it is a coined word, but I could guess it also draws on the English impress I have

Big Japanese businesses typically do not arrive at their brand names without serious thought & research although it must be remembered that these Jap lish words that seem so laughable to native English speakers are intended to read / heard by native Japanese speakers 1st and primary. If they use or discard the name abroad Subaru HQ really does not care.

And before you rip on Japanese speakers English.how's your Japanese ?
