A more rugged version of what we know as the Subaru WRX Sportswagon is coming, according to a report out of Japan. Much as the Liberty wagon spawned the Outback and the Impreza the XV/Crosstrek, Best Car Web reports the Levorg – as the WRX Sportswagon is known there – will get a higher-riding version.

Once plentiful, the affordable sports car is now an endangered species. If you’re of a certain age, you’ve seen this movie before: in the 1970s, there were all sorts of fun and interesting machines from the 240Z to the MGB, and then they just sort of died out in an explosion of bigger, more luxurious offerings. Electrification doesn’t mean an end to performance, but it does mean bigger, heavier, and more expensive. Figuring it was… Read More →

“Richard Burns crossed the final flying finish line, punched the air and shouted something so obscene that the BBC won’t be able to show the moment!” That was how Autosport’s rally reporter Keith Oswin described Burns’ first win of what would become a glittering but unfortunately short World Rally Championship career on the 1998 Safari Rally. In recent years, this clip of Burns and Robert Reid crossing the finish line has resurfaced, becoming a social… Read More →

Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today released its 2022 Corporate Impact Report, detailing for the fifth year how they share the love with their customers, employees, environment, and community.

The good folks at Edmunds do it differently from the usual standing quarter mile, though. Their U-Drag Race format begins with a quarter mile, followed by a braking zone and a hairpin turn. The contenders then duke it out back to the start/finish line. That being said, let’s take a look at how these Subarus stack up in terms of power, torque, curb weight, and starting price. Finished in Ice Silver Metallic, the BRZ is… Read More →

Subaru has sold more than 5.5 million vehicles with the EyeSight suite since its debut in 2008, but all of them came with an automatic gearbox. In a… Read More →

Starting later in 2023, Subaru BRZ buyers in Japan won’t need to give up the manual transmission to order the EyeSight suite of electronic driving aids (or vice versa). The company developed a version of its well-regarded technology that’s compatible with three-pedal cars for its home market. The new version of EyeSight is based on the technology that’s already offered on the automatic BRZ. It bundles several driving aids such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive… Read More →

The 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness builds on the already solid reputation the Forster cultivated for over two decades. Even in its earliest form, back in 1998, the Subaru Forster offered a combination of utilitarian packaging, all-wheel drive (AWD) capability and just a hint of fun. I should know, my fiancé and I bought one in 1999 as a 2000 model. It lasted through the early days of marriage, and children – in Colorado. It’s still… Read More →
