CEFALÙ, Italy – Winter has arrived in Detroit, and while it’s been milder than usual, it’s also been gray, wet and bleak. So of course the thought of a quick trip to southern Italy sounded like an ideal little getaway; a chance to check out silky, sinewy roads in the Sicilian
Yes, while Italy may conjure up images of Ferraris and Lamborghinis, I went all the way to Italy to drive Subarus; albeit the sportiest ones currently available, the BRZ tS and the WRX TR. That may seem less glamorous, but compared to most everything else on Sicily’s roads,
they’re fairly ritzy rides. Small and affordable are the key themes among Sicilian machines, with the island mainly playing host to herds
of Pandas (of the Fiat variety), all in varying states of condition. In the mix are agrarian diesel trucks and tractors (some of which actually are Lamborghinis) and small SUVs such as Suzuki Jimnys and Mitsubishi Pajeros.
