The 2023 Subaru Solterra is an all-new and all-electric SUV roughly the size of a Subaru Forester. Co-developed alongside the 2022 Toyota bZ4X, the teams from Subaru and Toyota were allowed to make small changes to tailor each vehicle to their prospective customers and better align with each company’s identity.

In 2004 I traveled with Doug Havir to Helsinki, Finland, for advanced rally training. Upon traveling halfway across the planet and arriving at Jakke Honkanen’s Rally School, we discovered, “Hey, this is just like northern Minnesota with different road signs!” I guess that explains the large Finnish population in northern Minnesota. The state of Minnesota boasts the biggest percentage of people with Finnish ancestry in the country. The terrain is similar. There are sandy roads… Read More →

For me this will always be the car. Not the two-door World Rally Car rules Impreza that Colin drove in ’97 and ’98 before leaving for Ford, the Subaru that millions who played the video game associate him with.
