We breathed a sigh of relief when the Toyota 86 (now badged as the GR 86) and Subaru BRZ were revived for a new generation after rumors that both sports cars were being canned.

The previous two generations of Forester were each named MotorTrend SUV of the Year, so the practical Subaru SUV’s greatness precedes it. Although it’s not our top-rated compact SUV, the Forester is a top pick in its segment thanks to its spacious cabin, smooth ride, and strong value ratings. For the 2021 model year, the Forester sweetens the pot by adding a few more standard features to the mix. If you’re in the market for… Read More →

Names like Colin McRae and 22B jump off the pages, as you flip through Subaru’s glory days in the dirt. Read More →

Subaru showed off the first public image of the upcoming WRX just a few weeks ago. The photo, as seen above, did little to give fans an idea of what they can expect from the rally-bred icon’s newest generation. Thankfully, this doesn’t mean that we don’t have any clues as to what is planned for the 2022 Subaru WRX or the STI that will follow. Here is everything we think we know so far about… Read More →

This has got to be one of our favourite Festival highlights reels ever. Read More →
