Subaru 086A STi speculation
Source: 7Tune.Com
Words: Justin Karow
While the regular Subaru 086A is expected to be exactly the same as the Toyota version albeit with subtle exterior/interior styling differences, it’s the high performance STi version that’s getting the most attention now that the FT-86 Concept has broken cover ahead of this month’s Tokyo Motor Show. The standard 086A of course utilizes Subaru’s EJ20 flat-four boxer engine with D4-S direct injection, an Aisin 6-speed gearbox and a rear differential as used on the Lexus IS250/350. The rumored output …

Sporty Subayota-Toyobaru takes on the ‘Ring
Source: Wheels24
While Toyota’s FT-86 concept car has been shown ahead of its official unveiling, a mule of the new sports car was trapped testing at the Nurburgring.
This development car looks a little odd with assorted bits tacked to its body, such as that ridiculous-looking rear diffuser, but our spies are assured this is the FT-86 mule careering around the fabled Nurburgring circuit.
The result of a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru, the production …

Motor Trend magazine has named the revamped Subaru Outback as its 2010 Sport Utility of the Year, the second year in a row that Subaru has won the prize.
For 2009, the redesigned Subaru Forester won the coveted SUV award.
“The 2010 Subaru Outback offers a unique combination of comfort, efficiency, versatility and value,” said Angus MacKenzie, Motor Trend editor in chief. “It boasts car-like refinement, drivability and gas mileage on the road, yet is as capable in the rough stuff as all but the most off-road focused sport utilities.”
The Outback …

These design sketches reveal some of Subaru’s plans for its half of the new ‘Toyobaru’ coupe.
Toyota has already revealed its version and, although the Toyota FT-86 is still officially a concept, Toyota says that it is extremely close to the finished production version.
But while Toyota is heading to the forthcoming Tokyo motor show with a near-finished product, Subaru’s version hasn’t even been given the official green light yet, let alone reached the design sign-off stage.
As these pictures, leaked to Autocar show, the Subaru coupe …
Britain debut of the 2010 Subaru Legacy Wagon

Led Zepplin said it best, "The song remains the same." Especially if you’re an American fan of good old station wagons. You’re looking at the just-released-to-our-shepherd’s-pie-eating-brethren 2010 Subaru Legacy Wagon and we (yet again) can’t have it. Wah.
Based entirely on the fifth-generation Legacy (built right in Indiana) the Tourer comes standard with a 2.0-liter diesel boxer mill mated to a six-speed manual transmission. That particular car, the Legacy Tourer 2.0D, can hustle itself to 60 mph in 9.5 seconds, go 120 mph and get around …

Finaly, some real stuff. Toyota has just released very first official photos of the long-awaited Toyota FT-86 aka Subayota Toyobaru. It’s a near-production concept car and it’s developed in cooperation with Subaru. Toyota FT-86 is a rear-wheel drive coupe(remember it’s predecessor, highly popular in mid-1980s RWD Toyota Corolla Ae86 aka hachi-roku?) that will make its debut at the motorshow in Tokyo later this october.
Well, as we can see on these photos, this concept has nothing to do with previously posted images: …

Video: Ken Block and Travis Pastrana’s Stupid Human TricksWe’ve seen Ken Block and his gang of misfits perform plenty of crazy cool stunts in their Crawford-built 2009 Subaru WRX STI. Block’s stupefyingly accurate power slides never seem to get old, no matter how many times we see his 566 horsepower (at the wheels!) STI come within millimeters of disaster. It is cool, however, to see Block and his friends add a little something extra this time around.
After the jump is video of Block and Travis Pastrana (on a motorcycle) having a good old time setting some land speed …
