Subaru Plans To Nearly Double US Production
The car market has been a miserable place to be over the last 4 or 5 years. The recession has caused record low sales volumes across nearly every brand in every market. Unless you’re Subaru that is. Despite the unheard of downturn in auto sales, the quirky company owned by Fuji Heavy Industries has seen record growth. Word now [...]
Subaru Drops Details On 2014 Forester
The Subaru Forester has long been a strong model for Subaru, and the new 2014 Subaru Forester looks to bring a new level of refinement and civility to the quirky off-roading runabout.

Subaru Shipping More BRZs To Meet Demand
When the Toyobaru coupes, the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ were developed, sales targets were not very high. As it stands, Subaru was only allotted 500 units per month for the entire country, and Subaru that was more than enough. It turns out that the kids in Japan were very wrong, and our appetite for affordable RWD sport coupes [...]
TRD May Bring Supercharger To Scion FR-S

The Impreza for people who like jumping over stuff is getting rather close to its red carpet (i.e. the street) debut. When it hits dealerships later this fall, the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek will come with two transmissions and thus, two base prices. For people who prefer to do their own shifting via a clutch and a gear [...]

For the fifth year in a row, Subaru will share its love to a variety of honorable charities from around the nation. For the 2012 running of the event, the automaker’s facebook fans will play a major role in the decision-making.

Subaru Looks To Take The 2012 Rally America Championship
Despite one more round to go among the 2012 running of the Rally America National Championship, Subaru has earned enough points to guarantee an overall victory. With the New England Forest Rally complete, David Higgins and Craig Drew simply needed a sixth or better finish to “mathematically clinch” the crown and that’s just what they did. Taking second place at [...]
