WELCOME TO THE
Fall/Winter 2017 Issue of
SIX STAR
THE MAGAZINE FOR SUBARU OWNERS IN CANADA
This is a very special publication for yours truly—this is the
first issue to be produced since I returned to Canada earlier this
year, becoming the new President and CEO for Subaru Canada.
Of course, I may be biased, but I’m extremely proud of the stories
presented here; I hope they meet with your approval as well.
Without question, the star of this new issue is the 2018 Subaru
Crosstrek. The cover image featuring our all-new compact
crossover on Vancouver Island is the perfect representation of
this popular model—it’s ideal for people who may live in the
city, but who also crave outdoor adventure. There are few cities
in Canada—or, indeed, the world—more suited to weekend
getaways than Victoria. Our west coast writer revisited Victoria
and ventured north from there all the way to Tofino, stopping off
in some of the most beautiful spots this country has to offer.
Of course, this issue features other fantastic articles, including
a detailed technical piece describing all the ways in which the
Subaru Crosstrek has changed for the new model year. We also
have a story that covers three different modified versions of the
Crosstrek, which are currently competing in China, in Mexico
and here in Canada.
To further emphasize that Subaru is a genuine enthusiast
brand, we also have a feature interview with Molly Taylor, the first
female to win the Australian Rally Championship. And speaking
of enthusiasts, we have an article that describes five different fan
experiences where people can learn to be a professional athlete—
at least for a day or two.
As always, the Subaru 360 section covers the latest news from the
world of Subaru, including a stunning lap record for the Subaru
WRX STI at the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife. Our star
customer section has actually expanded to include four different
Subaru fans from across Canada, all of them winners in a recent
photography contest honouring Canada’s 150th anniversary.
Last but certainly not least, from the world of culture, we have
a story on five Japanese-Canadian artists worth your attention, as
selected by a leading figure from the world of art. As a Japanese
person myself, I’m pleased that we’re turning our attention to this
group of talented individuals, all of whom are helping to make
Canada a more interesting, more diverse and more inclusive
country.
In closing, we hope that you will enjoy this issue of Six Star as
much as our team enjoyed producing it. As ever, we encourage
your feedback—this magazine is devoted to you, the Subaru
customer, so it’s vitally important the articles reflect you and
your interests.
Enjoy the read and enjoy the open road!
