Subaru’s station in the automotive world has been one of moderate but low-key success, but that’s a situation the brand is looking to change. Often overshadowed, at the low end by high-volume makes like Toyota and Honda and at the top by leather-clad luxury car purveyors like Lexus and Audi, [...]

We climbed into the premium, leather-adorned cockpit, fiddled with an array of dials and switches, ran through our checklists, adjusted the radio and tightened our seatbelts.

Let’s get this out of the way right now. Yes, our 2005 Chrysler 300C had a Hemi in it. So, to everyone at every gas station, drive-thru, car wash, church social, or what have you who thinks they’re being coy by asking, “Hey does that thing have a Hemi?” We’ll [...]
