Subaru opens STI Gallery in Tokyo

You remember turning 20? the end of teenage years, the beginning of adulthood...that's what Subaru Tecnica International – the performance division better known by its initials STI – celebrates this year, and to mark the occasion, Fuji Heavy is inaugurating the STI Gallery, a new museum in Tokyo that highlights the products and activities of its Subaru racing unit.
Located at 3-9-6 Osawa, Mitaka, Tokyo, the STI Gallery will be open every day (barring certain holidays) from 9:30 am to 7 pm, when visitors can stop by and scope out STI in all its glory. The car exhibition zone displays STI vehicles both past and present, race and road. (Colin McRae's WRC New Zealand-winning 1993 Legacy RS is currently on display to celebrate the launch of the new Legacy). There's also an exhibit of various components and memorabilia and a history section outlining the division's past activities. Seems like a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon if you find yourself in Tokyo with some time to burn.

Legacy and STI are not to be said together here in NA.

So they pull out of racing events and auto shows to save money - yet they build an entire gallery dedicated to a very niche cars? At least auto shows can be viewed by everyone and do something semi-useful.
Me thinks they need to get their priorities in order.

You only get one "20 year anniversary". They can always come back to racing.

Maybe if STI built some more CARS, instead of museums... the museum would be even more poignant.
It is irksome that I probably will never even set eyes on a real S402... let alone save up for the opportunity to buy one.

Perhaps this should be a mandatory visit for whoever the hell is designing Subaru's cars now!
