The Toyota and Subaru partnership has turned out to be joyfully fruitful one for enthusiasts, because, well, we got two generations of the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ twins. Now, they want to do it again, this time creating an all-wheel drive (AWD), rally-bred hot-hatch. So what do we know? First things first, it's vital to know the Impreza nameplate covers both sedans and hatchbacks. Meanwhile, the WRX model line-up is reserved only for sedans. That said, the third-generation (GRB) Impreza was the

Once in a while, something really hot pops up in the used car markets that we just can't ignore. Partly because we are petrolheads, and partly because we like to live vicariously and look at pictures of cars we cannot afford yet. This is one such example - a 1999 Subaru Impreza (GC) sedan that looks like it just drove off a Subaru dealership a couple of hours ago. It’s obvious that it’s been lovingly restored (read: thousands of Ringgit poured into it), so let’s see what you will get for the ask

Sekitar tahun 90an hingga ke awal 00an, Subaru mendominasi kejohanan-kejohanan rali dengan jayanya.

The Subaru WRX is one of those old-school four-door performance sedans that just refuses to give up. Even in an age where hot hatches are the in-thing. Subaru too isn’t giving up on an icon by slapping it on a crossover, unlike some other Japanese manufacturer. Just like the barrage of Mazda scoops yesterday, our Japanese media friends are also busy with another smaller Japanese carmaker. According to Best Car Web, Subaru is eyeing to unleash the next-gen WRX in August 2021. This will be the thi

Remember the Subaru Viziv Concept? It was first unveiled in 2019, and now sources say that it'll make its world debut as a production car sometime in December 2021. The render above by Japanese media gives an artist impression of how the car could look like. Judging by the render, we can expect the production vehicle (dubbed 'Adrenaline' for now) to keep the concept's 'coupe-SUV' form, but expect further design tweaks as the car heads to production. Sources also report that the upcoming model wi

The Toyota GR Yaris has been hogging the limelight recently and it's only fair - it reminds us of the classic Japanese sports car recipe of common cars made to go like a bat out of hell. Which is precisely what this as-yet-unnamed Subaru is. Japanese sources have reported that Subaru is planning a return to the World Rally Championship (WRC), and an all-new, rally-bred model is part of that plan. Due to regulations, it has to be smaller than the current Impreza, which makes it roughly the size o

Petrolheads sometimes have it tough. We have too many cars we want, but we have not the resources to attain all of them. Also, when given an option, we would always choose a used, fun car versus a brand-new, but more vanilla car. So, for under RM 80,000, here are 5 cars that can bring a massive smile on your faces. I’ve tried to find cars that are diverse in character, drivetrain layout, and body types as much as I can. Bear in mind that you’ll have to stump up cash for cars that are 10 years or

With Subaru's well-known rally heritage, expectations are always high for Subaru cars. The gold-standard is a turbocharged boxer engine matched with golden wheels and a massive hood-scoop. With a naturally aspirated engine and a CVT transmission, the Subaru XV GT Edition might sound a little underwhelming. It's like the less famous sibling - the Cody Walker, the Luke Hemsworth, or the Tom Franco. Only those who have driven the Subaru XV will understand the appeal of it. Born with Subaru's symmet

It looks like the launch of the next Subaru BRZ and Subaru WRX is set as soon as 2021! While the blurry photo seems legit and all, we still caution to view this with a pinch of salt as Autoguide did not offer any context with only an explanation that the graph might be a generalisation of when production is expected to begin. This could be the case as we pr
