    Review: 2014 Subaru Forester XT     1368547020

    Power Doesn't Come Cheap When Subaru first offered a turbocharged Forester XT model to US customers for the 2004 model year, the shoe-shaped second-gen model fell into a ready-made competitive set of small, V6-powered crossovers and SUVs. The XT might have been more of a raucous shopping-trip companion than, say, a Ford Escape V6, but the basics of the ...

    Video: Subaru WRX STI prototype spied in motion     1366318680

    Earlier this week, we got all hot and bothered over a set of spy photos showing the next-generation Subaru WRX STI testing at the Nürburgring. And while pretty still shots of a camouflaged car are always nice to look at, stirring up lots of speculation, having video is even better. Good thing, then, that our trusty spies were on hand to get some ...

    Video: Subaru uses a mime and a toy car to explain why it loves the boxer engine     1366225140

    Subaru has been busy testing the next-generation WRX STI. Well, it may be the STI.

In either case, spy photographers nabbed a few shots of the heavily camouflaged sedan running around the ...
