Launch Control is back with another episode! This time we’re returning to the 100 Acre Wood Rally in Salem, Missouri.  Whether or not you know the results of the race, this video of David Higgins and Travis Pastrana driving their Subarus to the limit is fun to watch: 

The Subaru Rally America team displays some phenomenal driving skills. Could you drive over 100 mph on backwoods roads in rural Arkansas? We wouldn't recommend it, but it’s fun to watch someone as skilled as David Higgins doing it on roads very similar to our own. The 2014 Oregon Trail Rally is on twisted roads in Oregon that are so similar to roads in Arkansas it’s uncanny. The folks behind Launch Control…

The New York Times reviewed  the 2015 WRX STI and the 2015 WRX and their impressions should help those looking to buy a car with high performance at an affordable price. The reviewer concludes, “Like vintage musical instruments, the WRX and STI have an honest, old-fashioned quality that’s become increasingly rare. And the analogy fits, because these Subarus were born to rock.” With such a strong statement about the nature of the new WRX…

Subaru lovers love the outdoors, so it makes sense that Subaru should be one of the greenest auto companies around. Adventure Subaru shares that commitment to environmental responsibility.
