First Look At The 2023 Subaru Solterra In The U.S.

2023 Subaru Solterra electric SUV has standard AWD, of course

Subaru is finally taking its first step into the world of electric cars with the launch of the Solterra.

2022 Subaru BRZ/Toyota GR 86: Car and Driver 10Best

Every hero has a weakness, and the original Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S (later Toyota 86) had two: power delivery and grip.
