If an engine has four cylinders, chances are they’re arranged in-line—unless that engine was made by Subaru, of course. A boxer-four is second only to all-wheel drive as a Subaru calling card. But the mad Russians at Garage 54 laugh in the face of the status quo, so they decided to convert a Subaru boxer-four into an inline-four. These are the same YouTubers that tried to make a diesel engine run on gasoline, and built… Read More →

Subaru did something a bit controversial last year: The company rolled out a new version of the quintessential Subaru, the Outback midsize SUV. Redesigned to look more like an SUV and less like a wagon, which the Outback has traditionally been equated with, the 2026 model is now a bit more square front and back, is slightly taller and offers a bit more cargo space. But more than that, it offers more standard luxury features—the… Read More →

Subaru may be ending production of its legendary WRX (as well as the Levorg) for the Japanese market due to tightening emissions, but elsewhere, the carmaker is celebrating it as the last rally-inspired sports sedan standing by trolling its one-time nemesis, the Mitsubishi Evolution. Although the Evolution nameplate is associated with Mitsubishi’s long line of rally cars based on the Lancer, its demise after the Evolution X meant that the Subaru WRX didn’t have a… Read More →

And on Monday, the automaker revealed that the fourth model in this battery-powered onslaught will be making its global debut… Read More →

Subaru didn’t always focus so much on sensible cars over all else. Long before the brand leaned so heavily into crossovers, wagons that are really just SUVs, and outdoorsy body cladding, it made things like this. One of just 300 Impreza S201 STIs is up for auction, and it’s a reminder that Subaru used to plant its flag in a very different place than it would dare to today. At a glance, the S201 almost… Read More →

Subaru has not always been a brand focused exclusively on practical cars. Long before the brand bet on crossovers and an off-road image, it created real gems for enthusiasts. Clear proof of this is one of only 300 examples of the Impreza S201 STI, which is up for auction. This car is a vivid reminder that Subaru once occupied a completely different market niche than it does today. At first glance, the S201 might seem… Read More →
