WELCOME TO THE
FALL/WINTER 2018 Issue of
SIX STAR
THE MAGAZINE FOR SUBARU OWNERS IN CANADA
W ith this latest issue, we’re hitting the open road again in
search of new and different experiences. We believe that
the collection of stories we’ve gathered together reflects the
spirit of adventure that’s infused in so many of our customers.
The articles also reflect the unique characteristics of our
vehicles: We focus on some off-the-beaten track destinations
that are best accessed by a line-up of go-anywhere vehicles. Following along in the theme of outdoor adventure, we take a
look at the burgeoning sport of multi-sport racing, also known
as adventure racing. This past summer, the Ontario region
was the proud sponsor of one of the premiere competitions
in Canada, the Subaru Bruce Peninsula Multisport Race. Our
writer captured the energy of the event by speaking with two of
the top finishers in their respective categories.
Our cover story takes place in one of the most beautiful
areas of the country, the Gaspé Peninsula. As we learn, it’s
not a simple thing to embark on a long driving vacation with
a young family — but our writer manages to do just that and
lives to tell the tale. As you’ll see in the article, the views along
the Gaspésie are absolutely breathtaking and we trust that this
alone will make you want to plan a visit for yourself. As the colder weather is on the horizon, we thought it
appropriate to interview an athlete skilled in winter sports
for this issue. We would’ve been hard pressed to find a more
suitable candidate than Ted-Jan Bloemen, who won two
medals, including gold, at the 2018 Winter Olympics in
PyeongChang, South Korea.
Also, we may be biased, but we believe there’s no better
way to see such majestic sights than from behind the wheel
of an all-new 2019 Subaru Forester. In this issue, you have the
opportunity to learn all about the fifth-generation Forester,
which is more capable than ever before. Built on the new
Subaru Global Platform, powered by an all-new SUBARU
BOXER engine, completely redesigned inside and out, our
popular compact SUV promises to become an even more
popular choice with Canadians.
Regardless of which Subaru model you happen to drive,
we provide other great reasons to get out there and explore.
Our article on cross-cultural comfort food helps celebrate
the ethnic diversity that makes this country so admired
around the world. Another adventure story, this one based in
Grasslands National Park, shines a light on a Prairie province
that doesn’t typically receive much attention. With this article,
we believe that Saskatchewan makes a strong case for being a
bucket-list destination.
Of course, we also have many compelling stories from the
world of Subaru, one of them focusing on the key differences
between rallying and rallycross racing. Our writer gathered
his information while watching the FIA World Rallycross
Championship round held in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, this
past summer.
In conclusion, we hope that you will enjoy this issue of Six
Star and find it to be a source of inspiration as you set about
planning your own adventures. As always, we encourage
your feedback as we work to bring you articles that reflect the
Subaru lifestyle.
Enjoy the read, enjoy the open road and live the adventure!
