Product Description
- Subaru (then Fuji Heavy Industries) succeeded in turning around its struggling business when its new car model, the Legacy, went on sale in 1989 and became a huge hit.
- Subaru was then on a roll, and the Impreza, released in 1992 as the successor to the Leone, its previous flagship model, was also well-received. The Forester, released in 1997, was Subaru's third arrow.
- The Forester adopts packaging that combines the 4WD system and horizontally opposed engine inherited from the Legacy with a tall station wagon body that provides excellent roominess.
- It could be said to be the forerunner of what we now call crossovers and SUVs, and it went on to win new Subaru fans around the world.
- The new mold item in Hot Wheels' Modern Classics lineup this time is the STi, a sports grade version of the second-generation Forester that was released in 2002.
- The STi was equipped with an engine tuned up to 265 horsepower, a 6-speed manual transmission, special sports suspension, increased body rigidity, aerodynamic parts, and high-performance brakes.
- Although it was originally a Japanese-only model, it is now recognised worldwide, as evidenced by the fact that it has been made into a Hot Wheels model.
