Hybrid powertrains seem like a no-brainer for Subaru. When the automaker surveyed its buyers on causes they’re most passionate about, 34 percent said wildlife and nature preservation, and 23 percent expressed interest in environmentalism. Given the brand’s nature-loving clientele, it’s surprising the company hasn’t embraced hybrids sooner—especially because Subarus have typically lagged behind the competition in fuel economy, in part due to their standard all-wheel drive. But after a couple of false starts in the… Read More →

Subaru has a strong history with turbines. Okay, so they didn’t make turbines directly, but its parent company, Subaru Corporation (formerly Fuji Heavy Industries), manufactures aviation vehicles both on its own and under license. Present-day Subaru Corporation is also a development and manufacturing partner to both Boeing and Lockheed Martin. But what does aviation have to do with today’s article? Well, that’s because our friends from CarBuzz have recently discovered that Subaru has a patent… Read More →

An electric motor doesn’t solve all of the bland Subaru Forester’s problems, but it does make the model more powerful (by 14 ponies) and efficient (by several miles per gallon) and thus a stronger contender in the highly contested compact-crossover arena. It’s quieter than the nonhybrid, too, thanks in part to more sound deadening, and it doesn’t lose any cargo capacity to powertrain packaging. Read More →

Fans… Read More →

It’s not every day that you say goodbye to a vehicle after 36 years of production, so to mark the occasion, Subaru officially sent its long-running Legacy sedan out with a fitting ceremony earlier this month as the last model rolled off the line.

Building and selling cars is a serious business. There’s a lot of money at stake, and if you develop a product that consumers don’t want, you could not only lose massive amounts of money but also disappoint fans, customers, and shareholders. However, that doesn’t mean automakers can’t have a bit of fun, and one way they can do so is by incorporating Easter eggs into their products. Some famous examples of this are the ghost emblem… Read More →

Some of the fastest depreciating cars on the planet will lose upward of 70% of their initial value after just five years on the road (via iSeeCars). Most of these cars that lose such horrendous chunks of money are luxury models that are already expensive to begin with. So, we’re not talking about a $20,000 Kia Soul dropping $12,000 in value; we’re talking about a $75,000 Jaguar losing $52,500 of its value. Yikes. While this may… Read More →
