Default Subaru Impreza Generations WRX & STi Photo-shoot (16 July 2016) - South Africa

Hi!

A fellow enthusiast and I came up with the idea for the Subaru Generations Photo-shoot at the end of last year, as we both have a passion for the Subaru brand.

We thought it would be a great idea to find as close to "stock" looking Subaru Impreza WRX and STi models ranging from those first released in the country to those recently released, to show the transformation that has taken place.

Our reasons for planning this photo-shoot were (1) the passion for the Subaru brand, (2) the love of the WRX and STi models and (3) where these cars originated. We also realized that “stock” models are becoming scarce in this country and thought this would be a good opportunity to bring them all together as it might not be possible to do so in the next 5 years.

We wanted to find the iconic World Rally Blue STi for each generation, but unfortunately we were only able to find 6 World Rally Blue STi's. The rest of the cars included various colour STi's and WRX's.
We wanted to capture as close to showroom floor feel for each car, as well as adding trim specific number plate covers.

Each car had been cleaned and detailed to perfection by the enthusiastic owners, and our beautiful South African landscapes made the cars stand out so much more.

We contacted various Subaru centres, clubs and communities around the country to find these models and had owners from all over Johannesburg and Pretoria join us. We even had a few owners who travelled from Secunda and Durban to be a part of this shoot. Subaru Southern Africa provided a great deal of assistance and support, and none of this would have been possible if Silverstar Casino had not provided us with a venue.

Please have a look at this photo-shoot we held last week Saturday.
