I say Its a Toyota.
Here in Oz We also call Toyotas "Toe-Joes" Especially people in the bush when referring to the old FJ40 Landcruiser.
For example " The Toe Joe should pull that "Bits are missing" (Mistubishi) out of that bog.

My newest come back is "Subaru? Haha, No. I have a solid axle in back." If they know much about subarus/toyotas they'll get it.

Here in Tibet the Mistubishi is called the Mootshibootshi.

Re: What do you get like when they call it a Subaru?
My dad used to call them "mit-si-vichi" which in Greek means something like "don't pinch me". A good name for it. He also called the Subaru a "su-vu-ta" which means something like "slob" or "trashy" in Greek.

Re: What do you get like when they call it a Subaru?
I'm yet to have mine called a Subaru, but it's often called an SR5. I've had a few people ask "is that really a 4wd?" yeap...and it's the REAL 4wd, not AWD. Hands down the best car ever built, followed by the festiva.
