WHEN SOLBERG RESORTED TO MANPOWER NOT HORSEPOWER

But when I ventured to Subaru’s website this morning to try the shiny new configurator for the 2022 WRX, I noticed something odd: Across every trim level of the car, there’s only one (1) option package available.

This was a time when its rivals were producing cars such as the Toyota MR2 and the Nissan GT-R. But soon, that would change. Subaru wanted to take a leap into the supercar and sports car world.

Millennial Mom’s Review: 2022 Subaru Ascent Onyx’s simplicity is its charm

You know that squint thing that people — myself included — do when they aren’t wearing their glasses? Or the little spectacle raise and head tilt, and a potential squint, to get a better view of something blurry? You don’t need to do that if you’re the driver of the 2022 Subaru Ascent. Everything in the front cabin is very easy to see and labelled with big, bold letters, but I’ll get back to that… Read More →
