What do you mean "what does it mean?"? Like what does the word mean.. or what?

IIRC the word "Impreza" means party in Polish.

Impreza is a type of Subaru, just like Explorer is a type of Ford.

My car for example is a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. It's just like a Ford Taurus...only a lot different.

Do you mean like the meaning behind the word Impreza sort of like how Scion means "Descendant of" in Japanese. Seeing that Scion was created by Toyota.

the always correct Wikipedia says:

"Impreza" is a coined word, deriving from an originally Italian word, impresa, meaning a feat or achievement. In Polish, "Impreza" means "party", "event" or "show".

I'll keep searching

It also means badge in Italian I think.
