While this company was once a business with particular exposure to both military and aerospace, this is no longer the case. In the current context, the company is primarily an Asian automotive business, with a small licensing deal, offering the company the potential to manufacture helicopters and planes – though this… Read More →

But have you ever wondered how long Subaru has been fitting all-wheel drive to their vehicles? Read More →

From the July 1982 issue of Car and Driver. That beat of the different drummer that sets cadence for the wacky side of life—could it be that Subaru wrote the original score? A look at its corporate record is bound to convince you so.

Few compact cars have the same World Rally Championship pedigree as the Subaru WRX. The first- to fourth-generation models were Impreza-based rallying machines with turbo Boxer engines, all-wheel-drive, and stiff suspension.

Sure, the new WRX is not easy on the eyes, but its rugged countenance makes it great for executing… Read More →
