It’s not every day that you say goodbye to a vehicle after 36 years of production, so to mark the occasion, Subaru officially sent its long-running Legacy sedan out with a fitting ceremony earlier this month as the last model rolled off the line. That’s a pretty long career for a car these days, one that leaves behind a … wait for it … interesting legacy as a solid sedan with some unique history and… Read More →

Building and selling cars is a serious business. There’s a lot of money at stake, and if you develop a product that consumers don’t want, you could not only lose massive amounts of money but also disappoint fans, customers, and shareholders. However, that doesn’t mean automakers can’t have a bit of fun, and one way they can do so is by incorporating Easter eggs into their products. Some famous examples of this are the ghost emblem… Read More →

Some of the fastest depreciating cars on the planet will lose upward of 70% of their initial value after just five years on the road (via iSeeCars). Most of these cars that lose such horrendous chunks of money are luxury models that are already expensive to begin with. So, we’re not talking about a $20,000 Kia Soul dropping $12,000 in value; we’re talking about a $75,000 Jaguar losing $52,500 of its value. Yikes. While this may… Read More →

Fuel and maintenance tend to grab the headlines when it comes to car costs. In reality, depreciation is another big issue owners have to deal with. Unless you plan on running your car into the ground without selling it at some point, depreciation should matter to you. Usually, the average new car experiences its steepest depreciation in the first two years, losing approximately 30% of its value, according to Kelley Blue Book (KBB). After that… Read More →

On September 12, 2025, the final Subaru Legacy sedan was driven off the line at the company’s factory in Lafayette, Indiana. The last example was pretty typical for the nameplate. Painted Magnetite Gray, it was equipped with a 182-hp 2.5-liter flat-four, all-wheel drive, a nice stereo, and leather seats. The last Legacy isn’t exactly what you’d call exciting stuff, especially if you grew up with a poster of a bright blue WRX STI launching itself… Read More →

Crossover vehicles have taken the modern automotive landscape by storm, with many crediting different cars as the original disruptors. From the AMC Eagle to the Jeep Cherokee to the Subaru Outback, cars in the western world have been crossing category lines for decades, but I just learned about a mid-1950s Soviet-era car that predates them all. It’s called the GAZ M-72, and it blended the unibody structure from GAZ’s sedan with a true off-road ready… Read More →

Subaru’s model lineup has felt a bit antithetical to the brand’s image for much of the 2020s. Subaru’s key demographics – with the exception of WRX bros – seem like the sort of environmentally conscious buyers in liberal states that would embrace the move toward fuel-efficient hybrid and battery-electric vehicles. But Subaru’s offerings have not catered to that sentiment at all. Subaru partners with Toyota on electric vehicles, which has meant – for better or… Read More →

Four-time American champion Brandon Semenuk will miss next week’s Overmountain Rally due to mountain bike commitments. The Canadian star’s presence at the season-closing Lake Superior Performance Rally has also yet to be confirmed. Subaru USA Motorsports will field just one Subaru – Travis Pastrana’s WRX STI ARA25L – in Tennessee next week. As the world’s most celebrated mountain biker – with a record five Red Bull Rampage wins to his name – Semenuk has to… Read More →

There was very little wrong with the Subaru Solterra EV that debuted in 2022 beyond range and charging times. At its California debut, it sliced through Santa Barbara traffic and proved its off-road chops on Catalina. It was a no-hassle city car and all-capable Subaru – as long as you didn’t have far to go and had plenty of time to get there. Now, we’re in mile-high Denver with a much-improved Solterra that puts critics… Read More →
