The Japanese people at Subaru decided to take the New York Auto Show as an opportunity to present the WRX Concept, a prototype which most likely shows us how the upcoming WRX production model will look like. In terms of styling, it features new front and rear bumpers, a revised front grille, more aggressive optical
Subaru officially unveils today the BRZ RA Racing, a sportier variant of the well-known Japanese company. According to the carmaker, the new BRZ is powered by the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit producing 200hp and 205Nm of torque.

A more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged unit offering 250 horses is available as well
It was day one. We had just found out about how incredibly interesting Toyobaru coupe was being developed we were hoping they wouldn’t mess it up. They didn’t. Both Toyota and Subaru came up with a great sports car and it is a product of very easy to love engineering levels. One slight niggle about
Subaru confirms today that the new Forester SUV, a model seen for the first time at the Guangzhou Auto Show, will be available starting 2013 in the United Kingdom. Expected to be showcased at this week’s Los Angeles Auto Show, the new Japanese SUV comes with a choice of three engines. The entry-level model is
The Japanese people from Subaru decided to share with the world the first information on the 2014 Forester. The revised crossover model will be seen for the first time at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show this year. According to Subaru, the 2014 model year is 35mm longer (4,595mm) and 20mm wider (1,695mm). The wheelbase
Yes, I’m aware it is a sports car. I’m also very fond of the fact that it gets praise for its handling throughout every review it got. However, it is the same car that seems to be lacking in power. There may be 200 horsepower under its bonnet but the torque is missing. This has
Toyota’s GT86 spin-offs for the United States market have hit a bit of a slump recently. Owners aren’t the happiest bunch out there. They’ve hardly taken delivery of what’s the sportiest cheap car out there and it seems like it’s starting to feel about as much as it costs. The clever adaptive ECU they’ve used
It’s a nice car. Actually, the Subaru XV is better than that but somehow we weren’t expect it to be a miracle worker. Somewhere in the back of their head, Subaru were probably aware of this. Here we are, a couple of months down the line and the 2013 Subaru XV is hitting us with
Subaru’s Impreza has always been a landmark car but throughout its life there have been plenty of criticism over the styling suite. With the current one though, I feel they got it spot on. They’ve finally caught up to a sharp suited presence like the one used by the main rival from Mitsubishi. Rather more
It’s sad when a manufacturer decides to discontinue a model. It’s especially sad when they’re not talking about the replacement model coming along soon. There’s a rumor going round that the Japanese at Subaru are planning the demise of their Tribeca mid-sized SUV, family car or whatever it is. If I’m honest, there’s not too
The Japanese at Toyota are keeping themselves busy making the GT86 but their partners in crime from Scion and Subaru are far more generous with the details. Each of these companies have told us what they plan to do with their future lineup and the news are good and bad at the same time. Scion
The new Subaru BRZ Coupe will arrive in Canada somewhere in June, the Japanese car maker deciding to release the official pricing today. Power comes from the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine developing 200 horsepower, Subaru choosing to sell this model exclusively with this unit on all the markets. The entry-level Subaru BRZ Coupe fitted with
The Japanese at Subaru have unveiled a new version of their slightly more sensible sedan and estate ahead of the New York Motor Show. Both the 2013 Subaru Legacy and Outback version will debut at the New York show but there’s a pretty consistent feeling they won’t get much of a crowd. Not only do
Subaru just doesn’t get enough of sharing the Impreza chassis love throughout the entire lineup of cars they make. Judging by the latest announcement the Japanese car maker has made, that’s not about to change anytime soon, or at least not by the time the New York Auto Show. Next month’s American show will see
The watchdog that is the NHTSA has started growling at the Japanese at Subaru over some things they may have overseen in one of their cars. The vehicle in question is the Subaru Forester and the problem it has revolves around the rear seat belts. We all know just what can happen when an official
The Japanese are getting a stripped out version of the car we know as the Toyota GT86. That version is mainly intended for track or customizing use, areas where certain bits aren’t needed anyway. As soon as word got out about this “back to basics” version of the Toyota GT86, Europeans and Americans started asking
Subaru announced their intentions to reveal the new BRZ and Impreza models in front of the European audience at the 82nd edition of the Geneva Motor Show which opens its gates next month.
