First Subaru Vehicle Makes History


The WRX, the Outback, and the Forester all trace their roots back to the 360, a tiny rear-engined car manufactured in Japan well before Subaru became a household name all around the world. Recognizing its importance, the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) has just designated Subaru’s first mass-produced car a mechanical engineering heritage item.

The term “heritage item” is more than just a vague, boilerplate title. It means that the 360 is now…

Subaru shocks with the boy who breaks everything

a car commercial with an idea….

Well they don’t turn up very often as most such advertisers prefer to resort to meaningless test drives.

Carmichael Lynch in Minneapolis has produced “The boy who breaks everything,’ for Subaru, a reverse Midas touch that destroys everything in his path except the aforementioned motor.

We spill a lot of ink on the Subaru WRX and BRZ, and we all seem to love the Crosstrek -- a car so straightforward and simple, it’s cool in a throwback sort of way. It’s not tough to see why these vehicles are held in high regard by enthusiasts.
