Soo BAH roo!

What a marketing line: "The little Subaru is cheap and ugly."

And here all this time I've been calling them Sioux-ba-rooz.

I guess if you look at one and squint a little a burro comes to mind.
Not too pretty, but economical, slow, always there.

Yes, not exactly winsome patting on the back advertising.... but:

How many handicap parking spaces could be eliminated if more cars this size were
around today where people could practically drive to their desk at work place??

I actually like the Subaru 360, altough it looks too small I have even considered to try to build a replica with a single-cylinder motorcycle engine powering the rear wheels and an electric motor at the front initially to provide reversibility but lately I could also consider it to work as a full hybrid...
