Alright, so we’re not quite done with saying goodbye to the
Subaru WRX STI
just yet. It’s been a long-term relationship, after all, so it’s probably going to be a while before we’re fully over it.
We’ve done our farewell feature for the Subaru, but unsurprisingly a few others are jumping on the valedictory bandwagon. One of those being Autocar, who this week have taken the very same Subaru to Scotland; the Peak District made for good photos, but Scotland makes for even better ones...
It was bleak, cold and miserable in Selkirk, exactly the kind of conditions a Subaru thrives in - the durability and toughness that proved invaluable on the rally stage also benefitting regular customers, who could turn to their Imprezas in any weather.
Fortunately for us (and for your desktop background) a Subaru in the snow is always going to look great, evoking memories of Prodrive-liveried Imprezas sliding through the slush in Sweden, Monte Carlo and the like. So here’s your new wallpaper to remember the glory days, with a solemn promise that the rose-tinted glasses will come off soon. Maybe.
