UK Subaru Impreza & Forester Diesel With 6-speed Tranny

How long, O Lord, how long?
Usually you’ll find me pining away for things that only Europeans get of the Ferrari/race-car/WRC-car vein, but in this case, my pining turns towards the more practical.
This case, happens to to be Subaru’s UK versions of the Impreza and Forester that feature diesel engines. Originally, Subaru’s 2.0L oil burner was [...]

2009 Subaru Impreza, More Go, Same Dough

2009 Subaru Impreza, More Go, Same Dough

Now this is the kind of news I like to hear. I like it when a car company actually gives me more in the new model (especially more power), and I really like it when they see fit to not charge me an arm and a leg for it.

From what I gather (since SpeedTV doesn’t cover the WRC any more, which is lame-lame-lame), Subaru drivers Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson have been slavering to get [...]

A Diesel Subaru WRX?

A Diesel Subaru WRX?

Well, I’ve heard wackier notions, but according to Australia’s Drive.com Subaru is considering producing a diesel version of the far-too-fun WRX sport sedan.
