You know, it’s strange that the Subaru WRX hasn’t been in the wider enthusiast conversation much. With all the glory going to the Honda Civic Type R, Hyundai Elantra N, Toyota GR Corolla, and Subaru BRZ, it always felt like the new, softer VB-generation WRX never hit the mark. Subaru now has an opportunity to fix that with the upcoming 2024 Subaru WRX TR. Read More →

When Subaru announced that the Impreza would ditch the sedan body style and focus on it being a hatchback-only experience for 2024, it certainly had us asking questions. For one thing, could we buy a four-door in time? (my wife was in the market for a new vehicle back then) and how will consumers respond to this radical transition. Thankfully, the Subaru faithful have responded positively to the changes, and after spending some time with… Read More →

Talk about the 2022 Subaru WRX, and the first word that comes to mind is perhaps related to speed. “Sporty,” “fast,” “enthusiastic,” or a similar description is usually what we all think when we see a WRX around us. But practical? Not since Subaru killed the WRX wagon in 2007 and hatchback in 2014. Read More →

The heyday of Subaru could be considered one of the golden eras of motoring. Few mainstream brands captured the hearts and dreams of the public quite like Subaru did back in the 1990s, when the late Colin McCrae was at the helm of a GC8 WRX and the road versions were carving up V8s like they were made of cheese. The WRX, Liberty and Forester established a cult following so large and so loyal that… Read More →

Following the North American debut of the 2024 BRZ tS back in July, its Japanese equivalent is now official and bears a different name. Meet the STI Sport, a new trim level offered in the Land of the Rising Sun with just about the same goodies as its American sibling. It gets 17-inch Brembo brakes with front and rear ventilated discs hugged by gold calipers behind 18-inch dark metallic wheels wrapped in 215/40 R18 high-performance… Read More →

As per the August 2023 sales report for the US market, the Forester is currently ranked in third place. With 69,151 deliveries to its name, Subaru’s compact-sized crossover lags behind the Outback (96,907 units) and newly redesigned Crosstrek (99,262 units). Part of the reason the Forester has lost its mojo is age, with Subaru revealing the SK-codenamed Gen 5 in 2018 for the 2019 model year. Speaking of which, the fourth-generation SJ ran between 2012… Read More →

Although the marketing folks claim the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek has been completely redesigned, there isn’t exactly a night-and-day difference next to its predecessor. Fear not, however: it’s still a Crosstrek, just better. Subaru simply took its best-selling vehicle and made it a bit quieter, a bit more comfortable, and a tad more capable. Read More →

Subaru has long been a relatively small automaker building products for niche markets. It’s been well-documented how the company, decades ago, specifically targeted certain demographics, becoming wildly popular and inspiring serious owner loyalty. They have done an incredible job doing so, but some more mainstream buyers may still not have the brand front of mind when shopping. Read More →

ubaru is more than just one of the most successful brands in World Rally Championship history – it’s easily the most iconic. The famous blue and gold transfixed a generation of rally fans and Subaru’s legend still lives on, even if it hasn’t competed in the WRC now for 15 years. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem teased rally fans with the potential prospect of Subaru returning to the WRC, most likely in 2027, during a… Read More →
