Gronholm will drive the test car in Wales this week, before undertaking a full two day pre-event test in Spain next week. This means the two-time World Rally Champion will have three days to familiarise himself with the new car before starting his first World Rally Championship event in nearly 16 months.
The Prodrive Impreza WRC2008 is fundamentally the same car used by the …

Subaru Impreza WRX STi 330S roadtested by Top Gear
The same good stuff repackaged

Viewed in its own right the new Subaru Impreza WRX STI 330S is a bit special. The numbers are impressive enough: 325bhp and 344lb ft of torque. That’s 29bhp and 44lb ft more than the standard STI, thanks to a few engine tweaks and a big new exhaust from Prodrive.
It’s £5,000 more expensive too, and a full half-second quicker to 60mph. That makes it the quickest Impreza you can buy without recourse to grey imports or dodgy men with spanners.
The 330S imbues you with …

More 2010 Subaru Legacy photos
Some more new photos of what is looking more and more likely to be the next all-new 2010 Subaru Legacy.
While there’s still very little technical information that has escaped (aside from a few rumours), it looks at the very least as if Subaru is up-sizing the new Legacy. Given the jump in size that the new Mazda6 and Honda Accord Euro have both made, that’s to be expected.
The 2010 Subaru Legaacy is expected to feature the same 2.0 and 2.5 litre engines available now, though expect to see upgrades to power and efficiency. …

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5X Road Test by NP
The same good stuff repackaged
Source: NationalPost
Brian Harper
I will be the first to admit I was less than overwhelmed with Subaru’s decision to rework its Forester wagon/crossover into a more mainstream, sport-utestyle body configuration for the 2009 model year. After all, the original, award-winning, quirky-in-a-cute-way Forester could make a legitimate claim as the progenitor of this whole crossover movement when it made its debut back in 1997 as something more than a mall crawler, less than a rock climber. The third-generation model’s new identity as a compact SUV seemed to …

Source: AutoBlog
by Damon Lavrinc
All roads point east for the official unveiling of the 2010 Subaru Legacy, expected to make its debut at the New York Auto Show next month. The new Legacy will take several design cues from its conceptual predecessor shown in Detroit, including yet another nose-job that’s likely to filter through to the rest of the Subaru line-up in the coming years.
A post over at NASIOC (which was subsequently removed at the request of SOA) from a forum member who supposedly obtained information from a Subaru dealer …

By Gary Boulanger
The cycling world knows about the Gary Fisher-Subaru racing team, but now word is out that the automaker is launching its own line of bicycles in 2009, starting with a spendy steel hardtail XB model, reported to cost US$3,880.

Striped & Racy Subaru Justy
JUST because you’re thinking of downsizing doesn’t mean you have to down-spec. Take Subaru’s new special edition Justy 1.0 Twin Cam for example. Restricted to 100 vehicles (50 in Black Mica, 50 in Shining Red), the sporty little number not only gains an over roof ‘viper stripe’ but also extra equipment such as the roof spoiler; twin exhaust system; side decals; leather and alloy gear knob and rear privacy glass without losing its qualification for a £35 annual Road Fund Licence.
The standard Justy 1.0R, priced at £9,305, comes with air conditioning; ABS with …

We all have our embarrassing moments. Most, however, aren’t quite as public as Petter Solberg’s mishap last week at the Bettega Memorial Rallysprint in Bologna, Italy. The 2003 WRC champion was taking some parade laps and waving to the crowd when he decided it was a good idea to get on the roof of his car. Click here to see this epic fail video.
