Possum Bourne’s awesome 1982 Subaru Leone rally car has appeared for sale at Webb’s April “Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles and Automobilia” auction house, and compared with other ex-motorsport vehicles, it could be a steal.

The 2023 Subaru Solterra doesn’t have 500 horsepower or 300 miles of range. It can’t recharge in 15 minutes or power your house as a backup generator. There’s no frunk, and it won’t bowl you over with outrageous specs or design. We’d consider it a homework assignment turned in late were it not for its off-road acumen, which makes it rather unique among mainstream EVs. Sure, you can ice your shrimp in the frunk of… Read More →

There’s a sense of familiarity when you enter the new 2023 Subaru Solterra. The start button is where it’s supposed to be, the side-mirror controls are located on the door panel, and the entire interface—from the digital instrument cluster to the infotainment system—looks like business as usual.

Subaru owners are a loyal bunch, but as more drivers decide to go greener by driving an electric vehicle, those loyalists have been left behind. The closest thing has been the Crosstrek Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid with a meager 17 miles of electric range. Now, though, there’s the new 2023 Subaru Solterra, the brand’s first all-electric vehicle. However, it was developed in partnership with Toyota and without a Subaru-trademark boxer engine, is it really Subaru… Read More →
