Leave It At Home: Subaru DEX
November 21st, 2008The JDM market is apparently enamored with vehicles that look like they’re stuck in the shipping crate. We saw the first generation Toyota bB here as the Scion xB before it went on an eating binge and lost all its charm. That original bB went on to another generation, and has its own scions in [...]

The Subaru Forester STI has always held a special place in our hearts, combining a healthy dose of practicality [...]
Save us Subaru Mountain Rescue Vehicle!
November 7th, 2008Leave the Saint Bernards at home, honey, we’ve got something better.

Unamused sports cars like the Porsche 911 assign the rev counter a level of gravity beyond being a glorified “engine is running” idiot light. Fortunately, the Paprika Red Subaru Impreza GT [...]
