I've noticed that a lot of people are using "SF" to stand for Subaru Forester. I guess that's to be expected but it does confuse things when you think they are posting about 1998>2002 SF5 models. How does everyone feel about encouraging people to use the correct model designations to help us keep it straight. SG for 2003>2008 and SH for 2009>?

Makes sense to me but getting people to actually do it is going to be easier said than done.

Alphabet Soup

Many of the other fora I am involved with have an "Alphabet Soup (Please Read)" sticky. Shop talk can be confusing. An explanation of what the acronym means with a brief history is always helpful.

Some of the conventions that still confuse me here are:
VDC, VDT?, NA (well...finally got that one)

Look in the New Member Intro forum, it's all there... Now if we could just get people to read those stickies...

What does the 5 in SF5 stand for?

What does the 5 in SF5 stand for?

It's the engine designation. I believe the 5 is SF shows that the car has a 2.0 turbo engine. USDM SFs with the N/A 2.5L are SF6.
