It’s been 50 years since Subaru of America first
started its operations here, and to celebrate the event, the automaker has
launched limited edition models of some cars. Presented during the 2018 Chicago
Auto Show, these include the Crosstrek, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, and Outback,
limited to 1,050 units each, and the BRZ, WRX, and STI, with a combined total
of 1,050.
Already on sale at the brand’s dealers nationwide,
all anniversary models are based on their respective range-topping trim level.
They also get a new exclusive color, called Heritage Blue, special exterior and
interior accents, and unique ‘SOA 50th Anniversary’ emblem.
Satin chrome trim on the outside, along with
different alloy wheels on all vehicles except for the BRZ, and side mirror
casings finished in Satin Chrome (except for BRZ, WRX, and STI), further define
their special character.
The cabin of each of the eight special models
features the ’50th Anniversary’ logo embroidered on the front seats and floor
mats, black upholstery with contrasting silver stitching, and silver seatbelts.
The Subaru BRZ 50th Anniversary is the most
affordable of the range. It starts from US$ 30,800, including the destination and
delivery charges, whereas the WRX STI is found at the opposite end of the list,
with a starting price of US$ 42,055.
