There are a thousand reasons to love the Subaru BRZ. From its historical (though factually very minimal) relation to the beloved AE86, to the fact that it's one of the lightest sport coupes sold today, to its innately balanced handling, or even its sleek, sporty looks, the 2013 Subaru BRZ ticks...

In the future, highway patrol vehicles are likely to look a lot different from the police cruisers of today. This year's Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge asked automakers to sketch what the ideal highway patrol vehicle of 2025 might look like, and top honors go to Subaru for its SHARC design...

If you’re in the market for a new Subaru BRZ, you’ve probably come to the realization that the rear-drive sport coupes are in extremely short supply. With demand outpacing deliveries, U.S. Subaru dealers have been asking for additional inventory since the car went on sale in April...

The covers have finally come off the new 2014 Subaru Forester, a completely redesigned and much more fuel-efficient version of the popular crossover that’s due to go on sale shortly after its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of this month. In addition to being more...

UPDATE: The prototype is for a Subaru BRZ tS performance package, which previews some new 'tuned by STI' performance parts for the Subaru sports car. Even before the Subaru BRZ made its debut at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, we were given a taste of what the people over at Subaru Tecnica International...

The Pontiac G8 is coming back, but it will be wearing a Chevrolet badge along with new styling. It will also be replacing the current Chevrolet Impala in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series. While the actual vehicle itself won't make its debut until February at the Daytona 500, the racing version will be...

A higher-performance Subaru BRZ tuned by the people at Subaru Tecnica International (STI) is coming, though whether the car will feature a naturally-aspirated or turbocharged engine is still unclear. A previous report suggested the BRZ STI model would remain naturally aspirated, due to the...

David Higgins is, if you're not familiar, the 2012 RallyAmerica National Champion driver (along with co-driver Craig Drew), and the lead wheelman in Subaru Rally Team USA's efforts. He's therefore, by definition and demonstration, one bad-ass driver. But in rally, it's not all about the driver (or...

We're not generally in the business of promoting other media outlets around here. It's not that we're mean-spirited or threatened by such activity; it's just not good business. But for now, we're setting that aside and helping get the word out in the interests of enthusiasts everywhere: Subiesport...

Though it’s not quite the new BRZ STI model we’ve been hoping for, Subaru has unveiled a range of performance upgrades for the BRZ sports car developed by its performance arm Subaru Tecnica International. The upgrades were previewed today on a concept vehicle at the 2012 Australian...

The problem with driving a left-hand-drive car on the left side of the road--not the right--is that it becomes second nature too quickly, too easily. Five miles out of the Manchester airport, only a couple of U-turns and traffic circles missed, the 2013 Subaru BRZ I'm about to flog up and down the...

What's the most fun you can have in a 2013 Subaru BRZ in Great Britain's Yorkshire Dales? Once you tap the stability control into sport mode, and wait for the always imminent rain to back off its threats, the answer's easy: the Harewood Hillclimb. A hill climb's just what it sounds like, only with...

Organizers call it a "step back in time." We're calling it a great excuse to spend more time in the driver's seat of the 2013 Subaru BRZ. Whatever the case, we're on the ground this week in England and Wales, making a loop of the lower United Kingdom on our way to the 2012 edition of the Goodwood...

Top safety marks for the Subaru and Scion sports car twins prove light and small doesn't have to mean unsafe.

Currently, the only model in Subaru’s U.S. lineup that's been enhanced by the people at Subaru Tecnica International (STI), the official motorsports division of the Japanese automaker, is the Impreza WRX STI. In the future, however, we could see several more models sporting the trademark pink...

In the United States, Subaru’s ultimate all-wheel-drive hoon-mobile, the WRX STI, comes packing 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. While that’s nothing to sneeze at, it’s nowhere near as impressive as it was just a few years back. These days, even a base V-6 Ford Mustang...

While we here at High Gear Media generally adhere to a strict “no mime videos” policy, on occasion we’re forced to make an exception to this rule. Such is the case with a new series of videos from Subaru that focus on explaining the automaker’s core technologies. As any...

In July of 2011, Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins took second place at the New England Forest Rally, which was good enough to propel the Manx driver to the top of the championship standings for the 2011 season. For 2012, history has repeated itself: Higgins and co-driver Craig Drew again...

Updated: Upon further consultation with Simon Crellin of the Isle of Man TT press office and Subaru of America's Dominick Infante, some of the statistics acquired from my previous sources have been called into question. Where there is a conflict between official TT facts and figures not available...

Drive enough cars on enough racetracks and you become somewhat immune to speed-induced terror. Most of us here are completely comfortable hustling the latest models around circuits near and far, so it’s no longer a thrill to strap into the passenger seat and have a pro driver show us what a...
