However, the quest for performance is never-ending, and the company is always open to finding new ways to build on its performance DNA. That …

by

Subaru’s EyeSight technology has been a welcome blessing for owners thanks to its suite of safety features and nifty camera system (my wife can vouch for its credentials as a current Subaru owner.

First Drive Review – 2015 Subaru BRZ Series.Blue on Video in Crystal White

by

How fantastic does this BRZ look! Despite the pouring rain, the pearlescent Crystal White paint of this Series.Blue BRZ really pops with its LED accents glowing inside Texas Motor Speedway.

2015 Subaru BRZ GT300 and WRX NBR Racers Pack Wild Aero Ugrades

by

2015 Subaru BRZ GT300 and WRX NBR When overall power is capped by a racing series of technical limits of the engine, you have a few other routes to more speed.

A Tale of Two Scions: Why Is Factory Scion FR-S So Lame?

by

This is a tough opinion to voice, but one that might resonate with some readers who share this frustration. Here are the key points: — The Scion FR-S arguably looks better than the Subaru BRZ inside and out. — Even more, it is almost shockingly gorgeous with a 3D Carbon body kit and some aftermarket wheels — Scion is a bit cheaper, far easier to find and buy (and service) than the Subaru — But where are all the factory mods the Scion supposedly “stands for” ? — A purchase and re-badge would be my plan due to lack of …
