When your trophy collection is as big as Subaru Motorsports USA’s, it’s quite the statement when somebody claims one of those successes to be the biggest ever. But that’s exactly how Keaton Williams has described Subaru’s 2022 American Rally Association presented by DirtFish National championship win given what it had to overcome to secure it. American rallying has basically belonged to Subaru for decades now. Since 2005, just Antoine L’Estage (2010) and Barry McKenna (2020)… Read More →

After decades of spitting fire and spraying gravel on the world’s rally stages, or at least looking the part on the street, the Subaru WRX has earned a few gray hairs. Now in its fifth generation after a redesign for the 2022 model year, Subaru’s proto-rally car has reached middle age, donned a suit of body-cladded office wear, and attained a new level of sophistication. Nowhere is this clearer than in the WRX’s range-topping, automatic-only… Read More →

Solterra: sun earth. In Latin. It’s the first Subaru electric car. Think you’ve seen it elsewhere? Well it’s a joint project with Toyota. Just as the two firms co-operated on the 86/BRZ sports-car near-twins, they did the same with the Solterra and bZ4X. Which means it’s like a medium-sized crossover. Subaru sells 4WD versions only, competing with twin-motor editions of the Skoda Enyaq, Nissan Ariya, Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E. Except their twin-motor versions… Read More →

The best kind of celebrity endorsements are the ones that have very little to do with the product being shilled. Does Ford actually expect me to believe Derek Jeter owned a Ford Edge in Blazing Copper with a Panoramic Vista Roof? Ryan Reynolds knows nothing about wireless phone service — at least not more than you or I do — and yet we’re supposed to follow his recommendation of a provider nobody’s ever heard of… Read More →

Toyota popularized the three-row crossover segment when it first launched the Highlander at the turn of the millennium. Unlike most SUVs of the time, the Highlander used a unibody platform, just like a car. Other automakers quickly caught on to this concept, Subaru among them. That automaker re-entered this segment with the Ascent in the 2019 model year and, like the Highlander, received updates for 2023. Read More →

It’s been over a week now since grassroots rally legend Al Dantes Jr. was killed while he was fueling his pickup-truck at a gas station in his hometown of L’Anse Michigan. But, in that time, the rally community gradually adapted and coped with the news of his passing, and worked to ensure his legacy will be forever remembered. A GoFundMe was set up after the rally for Al’s six daughters that managed to raise over… Read More →

Most people wouldn’t spend over $60,000 on a Subaru. Even if it is a Subaru WRX STI. But then again the guys over at the Gears and Gasoline YouTube channel aren’t most people. They’ve been making car content for the last eight years, and are consistently pushing the bar with what they set out to do, resulting in their over 1 million subscribers. Some notable videos include cross-country trips in the unlikeliest of cars, including… Read More →
