It’s true that Subaru’s lineup was hybrid-free in 2024, but that allowed the company to finish development on the new hybrid powertrain for the also-new 2025 Subaru Forester. And it’s a good thing, too, since Americans can’t get enough of hybrid cars nowadays. The Forester debuted earlier this year, and it’s doing much more than just keeping up with the Joneses. Subaru supports its active branding with a hybrid setup that’s specifically engineered to work without any… Read More →

Whether they’re from Silicon Valley or the Motor City, companies around the world are trying to make truly autonomous cars a reality.

I shouldn’t like the Subaru Crosstrek. I’ve always gravitated towards driver-focused and performance cars — vehicles developed with the idea of setting a track record or being a split personality that can be fun on a backroad but also comfortable for a commute.

The 103rd Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is evidence that racing has no limits when it comes to age. The competitors taking on the mountain this year include nine drivers between 62 and 77 years old. And while age brings its usual challenges, it has not been a limiting factor for several. “The benefit of my age is I’m retired so I have plenty of time to do this nonsense,” Rick Lind, 64, said.… Read More →

Brandon Semenuk has explained the “stupid mistake” that led to his crash from the lead of Southern Ohio Forest Rally. Triple American Rally Association presented by Kubota National champion Semenuk had won all four of the events so far in 2025 prior to SOFR, and a degree of pressure was removed from his shoulders after the first street stage, when Conner Martell was ruled out due to a back injury for co-driver Alex Gelsomino. After… Read More →
