Subaru has revealed its latest BRZ built for the express purpose of racing. As its name implies, the BRZ Cup Car Basic was developed for the GR86/BRZ Cup, a grassroots motorsport series held in Japan, where the entire field is comprised of Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ sports cars.
MISSOULA, MT. — When the 2025 Subaru Forester was revealed last year, it was pitched as an all-new model. Except it really isn’t. The underlying platform is carried over and the dimensions are virtually identical to the compact crossover it replaces — almost to the inch. In fact, the changes are so subtle that Subaru is comfortable selling the 2024 Forester Wilderness model right alongside the 2025 for at least the remainder of this calendar year.

Subaru has given its first-ever EV, the Solterra, a few sensible updates for the 2024 model year. All Solterras receive standard roof rails with static and dynamic load capacities of 700 and 176 lbs., respectively, which Subaru said is enough to support a rooftop tent. Notable changes include a reshaped steering wheel with paddle switches to control the regenerative braking and an optimized battery conditioning system to address Solterra’s tepid DC fast-charging numbers. Whereas the 2023 Solterra could recharge in about an hour using a 150 kW DC fast charging station, the 2024 variant could achieve 10 to 80 percent in around 35 minutes. While at home, the 2024 Solterra offe

As the crow flies, I went to college only about 60 miles from where I grew up; by car it was 100 miles almost on the dot. In good traffic, it was a breezy two-hour drive, but I more frequently measured it in album running time. A filled-to-the-brim compact disc of the day boasted 74 minutes of uncompressed audio. I know, I know; Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system. But I'd wager that if you were any kind of frequent commuter back in the days of physical media, you could probably time a frequent route down to the individual track that would play as you reached your destination. If I left my college apartment to the opening bars of «One Headlight» from the Wallflowers' «Bringing Down the Horse,» I knew I'd hear the clickity-click of the disc changer about 45 minutes from home.
Pour one out for the Subaru Legacy. The Japanese automaker known for its line of all-wheel-drive vehicles announced that 2025 will be the final year for the Subaru Legacy, a vehicle that started its… um, legacy (sorry)… way back in 1989. It was the first Subaru built in America at the automaker's plant in Indiana, and it was designed specifically for the American market. Throughout its six generations, Subaru has sold more than 1.3 million Legacy models in the United States.
The first new Subarus sold in the United States were microscopic kei cars brought over by Malcolm Bricklin in 1968, and they were followed by slightly larger (but still comically tiny) Leones a few years later. Bigger and better-equipped Leones followed during the 1980s, along with the sleek XT sports car. When the XT's successor appeared here for the 1992 model year, it was named the SVX and it looked wild! Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-year SVXs, found in a Colorado car graveyard.
On paper, the 2025 Subaru Forester is brand new, but compared to the legitimately overhauled Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson of recent years, this generation didn’t exactly start with a clean slate. That said, there were a wealth of changes and updates made that should amount to a Forester better able to keep up with those newer rivals while maintaining most of the unique attributes that keep Subaru loyalists so loyal.
