Infotainment systems have come a long way in the past couple of decades, driven in no small part by consumer demand for in-car navigation.

Scott’s comments: “And then there’s those of us that think driving in the winter in the midst of a snowstorm is fun..” Subaru is turning worst-case winter driving scenarios on their head with a new campaign designed to position its vehicles as some of the safest in winter conditions. “Winter is Less Scary in a Subaru” builds off of the “Welcome to the Uncommon” brand platform established by the automaker last fall.

Scott’s comments: A nice primer on the EJ Series motors. Developed from scratch during the second part of the 1980s as a replacement for the EA flat-fours, which had been produced since 1966, the EJ hit the streets in 1989 when the first-generation Legacy was introduced. At first, the engine codenamed EJ20 displaced 2.0 liters and was available in three distinct versions: a 123-hp single overhead cam, 148-hp dual overhead cam, and a turbocharged dual… Read More →
