Well, the big day is finally here. Before you know it, the fundraising texts will stop, political ads will disappear, and we’ll know who will be the next President of the United States.

The 2024 Subaru WRX TR is a testament to Subaru’s commitment to crafting cars that cater to the enthusiast—a breed that many brands are, sadly, leaving behind in the pursuit of efficiency and ease. At the heart of this machine is a 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER engine that delivers a punchy 271 horsepower and unmistakable Subaru growl, evoking the sounds and sensations that loyalists crave. But for me, the inclusion of a 6-speed manual transmission in… Read More →

py photographers caught Subaru engineers out testing what is believed to be the next-generation Outback crossover on roads in Michigan in October, with what appears to be new styling and features to further differentiate it from the Forester. Slated to appear in U.S. dealerships late next year, the next-generation Outback will adopt more traditional SUV styling with a boxier design than the current version and a taller rear pillar, which should improve interior cargo space.… Read More →

Just weeks before it came to light that Subaru would be ending production of the Outback for the Japanese market, eagle-eyed motorists spotted what looks like its replacement in the US.
