What does SubieSport mean here?
I just saw this on NASIOC...really can't understand what they mean here....check the bolded statement lol
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.
|
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.
|
oh cum has another meaning? didn't know that lol

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

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. |
