2009 Subaru Forester
By Subiesport Magazine, http://www.subiesport.com

2007 has been a year of big announcements at Subaru. First there was the revision of the Tribeca, and while that wasn’t earth shattering, the world waited in rapt excitement for the next one. That would have been the new Impreza WRX. Here was the first step in the hot-saloon cum hot hatch revamp. Then, closely on the heals of this was the relaunch of the STI which made the world stand still. Not ready to throw in the towel, Subaru had just one more revamp up its sleeve. And here it is: the long awaited for… 2009 Subaru Forester.

Not a clue.

Consider this a bump for someone that knows English better than us?

"saloon" is european slang for 4 door sedan. the guys on top gear use the word regularly.

foss 12-26-2007 11:55 PM

That doesn't explain the "cum hot" portion lol.

It means it's been converted from a sedan to a hot hatch. It's Cum as in something that has gone from one function to another, as opposed to the more commonly used money shot version of the word.

CarbonIS 12-27-2007 12:01 AM

oh cum has another meaning? didn't know that lol

foss 12-27-2007 01:33 AM

Ha, knew it! :-p

CarbonIS 12-27-2007 02:13 AM

whatever it's antiquated and shouldn't be used unless referring to jism.

Ender81 12-27-2007 06:37 AM

1. Used in constructions such as: an X-cum-Y to describe something that has two functions, or has been converted from one function to another

a bus-cum-greenhouse—a (probably old) bus that has been converted to a greenhouse

2. Used in English placenames to describe combined parishes that function as a single unit

Chorlton-cum-Hardy



And yeah seriously who uses that in a magazine.

Yes they are using the latin "cum" as in magna cum laude (with honor).
