Americas Rallycross is North Americaâs next big shot at bringing delightful vehicular chaos in race form to the masses. The seriesâ first-ever North American round is this weekend at Austinâs Circuit of The Americas, and the course is going to be a blast.
Going up Pikes Peak on a nice day at race pace is a feat for the brave, but climbing the mountain in foul weather with poor visibility is pure lunacy. This year, Victor Kuhns was the last person to make it all the way up Pikes Peak before officials paused the race for foul weather and shortened the course, and youâŚ
The Orlando Sentinel posted a viral video on Wednesday of a deputy busting out the window of an SUV with a bear trapped inside near Lake Tahoe. The story said the SUV was rocking back and forth as the bear was moving around in it, and the deputy who freed the bear ran away before it climbed out.
Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories you need to know.
Some poor, poor valet in Sydney, Australia somehow managed to stuff a clientâs Porsche 911 Carrera under the ass-end of a parked Subaru Crosstrek, creating a lovely mound of boxer-engine goodness.
The 2019 Subaru Ascent is a car made for the great excesses of America, including our insatiable need for large road beverages. It touts an astonishing 19 cup and bottle holders, some of which are vastly better than the others. I bought a completely ridiculous Double Gulp from 7-11 to find out which ones you reallyâŚ
I once got a Subaru Legacy wagon re-named the Space Shuttle because it caught so much air. Frankly, every Legacy wagon should enjoy the same fate. Hereâs your daily moment of wagon send zen.
Though Subaruâs sales game has been unstoppable in recent years, even as it keeps making fun and good things for us to drive, thereâs one lucrative segment it has yet to conquerâthe big three-row crossover one. The 2019 Subaru Ascent aims to change that, and unlike the black sheep Tribeca it actually looks and feelsâŚ
By now, we know that there are more accurate ways to pronounce the names of Japanese automakers than the ones that we dumb Americans have been using. Mazda, for instance, is pronounced âMatsudaâ in Japan. But did you know that there are also very fascinating historical and cultural reasons behind some of these names?
Subaru has been winning a lot lately. Itâs one of the few brands that consistently delivers positive sales figures while some of the other automakers struggle. So you would think with an in-demand lineup deals would be hard to come by, but even Subaru dealers are blowing out inventory with discounts that you may wantâŚ
The 2019 Subaru Ascent, Subaruâs largest SUV to date, became instantly famous for one statistic: 19 cupholders, which works out to nearly 2.5 cupholders per seat. Itâs as if they know us! They really, really know us. One Big Gulp is not enough for America. Heck, 19 Big Gulps may not even be enough, but itâs a start.âŚ
Big, beautiful all-terrain tires are key component of any off-road build, as they add ground clearance and traction. Plus, they look awesome. But theyâre also going to cost you some performance, and you can see exactly how much in this dyno test.
Like Nissan, Subaru is in hot water for having unqualified staff signing off on final vehicle inspections. This is a big deal in Japan, where authorities ordered Subaru to conduct an investigation. That investigation, the company said in a release Friday, revealed that employees meddled with fuel economy and emissionsâŚ
The 2018 Subaru BRZ and its twin the 2018 Toyota 86 have been go-to picks for âfun and affordableâ forever. After a week in the limited production range topping $33,000 2018 Subaru BRZ tS, Iâve made some realizations about this car.
Making a car is expensive, and nobody would want go through the process of building an entire working automobile if theyâre not thinking of putting it on sale. And yet here is (or isnât) the Prodrive P2, an all-wheel drive monster that never even was meant to be bought.
I can hear you from all the way over here. âThatâs not a real car, Raph,â you shout at your computer screen. âYou made that up. Itâs a figment of your imagination!â Hah. I wish. This thing is real as hell.
The term âEvoltisâ sounds like it belongs in a commercial with a man reading to a grandchild, a woman taking a deep breath during an outdoor yoga class, and some other person deeply reflecting on life. It sounds like medication with a lot of side effects, basically. But it might be the name of a new hybrid Subaru.
The Subaru SVX is one of the looniest cars ever put into production: a flat-six luxury coupe with a fighter jet canopy from a company that mostly just sold plain station wagons. But these two sides of Subaru once collided and gave us the Subaru Amadeus. Or, rather, not.
Unpaid bills. Allegations of abusive treatment. Explosive text messages. Car companies leaving for a competing series. Once, Red Bull Global Rallycross seemed like a bright spot in the racing world: action-packed events popular with young fans where Subarus, Volkswagens and more flew across dirt and asphalt courses.âŚ
If youâre in the U.S. and youâre a fan of fast Subarus, you should consider yourself lucky. Very lucky. If you want a brand-new WRX STI, you can just strut into your local Subaru dealership and buy oneâprovided you have the money. (Or at least a pulse and a marginally decent credit score. I see how you buy cars,âŚ
