Can you post a pic of yours to clarify matters.
It's a 2004 with 250,000 miles on it (and a lovingly rebuilt engine). Back then, I assume, they put the Impreza engine/brand/etc in Outback station wagons, and called them Impreza Outbacks. The dash says IMPREZA in the bottom-right corner of the rev counter, but the back hatch says Outback. I'll post pics when I go out for a smoke later - it's snowing and coooold.

and jim, i ask just out of curiosity, cause its gonna be a long time (i hope) before I have to shop for another, but I paid $5200 for my Subaru and its a beauty - I would drive it to California tomorrow, I trust this car so. Subarus run forever if you take care of them, and at $5200 with a rebuilt engine VERY affordable. There's a guy here in town who's been doing nothing but fixing up and selling used Subarus for like, 20 years, and he does all the maintenance on them for life for dirt-cheap. I know people who've bought three generations of cars from him - super loyalty, and superb cars.
