Bean treatment, and the L.L. Bean Edition remained available through the… Read More →

Subaru’s retooled 2022 WRX sticks close to the company’s established rally-car formula, with advancements in performance and technology. We’ve collected some reviews. “Side-by-side, the new WRX definitely looks sharper than the outgoing car –- if by just a smidge. Aggressive C-shaped headlights and a hexagonal grille line the front end, with the cleaner backside sporting what Subaru calls ‘Magma’ taillights and a subtle lip spoiler.

Developed from scratch during the second part of the 1980s as a replacement for the EA flat-fours, which had been produced since 1966, the EJ hit the streets in 1989 when the first-generation Legacy was introduced. At first, the engine codenamed EJ20 displaced 2.0 liters and was available in three distinct versions: a 123-hp single overhead cam, 148-hp dual overhead cam, and a turbocharged dual… Read More →
