Last year, Navigant Research reported that there were more than 1.2 billion vehicles on roads worldwide. It's estimated that in the next twenty years, that number could exceed 2 billion. With more than a billion vehicles on the road, we have to consider the effect that those vehicles have on the environment. 

That's why there has been a recent push for more environmentally friendly vehicles. In an effort to reduce environmental impact, and to put pressure on auto manufacturers to do the same, the state of California has established Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) standards to go into effect…

For many of us, summer time means more fun. There's more travel, more trips, more outings, and more recreation in general. But between the cross-country road trips, beachside getaways, week-long camping expeditions, and midday ice cream cone runs, you may end up spending quite a bit on gas for your Subaru. Don’t worry, though, you can still have plenty of fun this summer without spending a fortune on gas. 

Maybe the best way to save money on gas is by riding a bicycle. Riding a bike is great exercise, great for the environment, and you will save a…

Subaru first started using the boxer engine back in 1965 with the introduction of the Subaru 1000. Half a century later, Subaru is still using the boxer engine. In fact, the horizontally opposed boxer engine is used in every single vehicle in the Subaru lineup. 

Needless to say, a lot has changed over the course of 50 years. While the pistons are still horizontally opposed, the 55 horsepower boxer engine that Subaru first used in the 1000 is much different from the boxer engines that are used in Subarus today.

As technology and materials become more advanced and sophisticated, Subaru…

There are only so many hours you can spend in a car before you start to get hopelessly restless.  It makes sense: our bodies were made to run and jump and play, not sit in a metal box with wheels for hours on end. While you can't run and jump and play in a moving vehicle, you can find other ways to make the time go by faster. Listening to music is a great way to make those long road trips more fun.

Listening to music is pretty simple. If you have at least one working ear drum, you…

Subaru has a great reputation. Everybody knows that Subaru puts safety first, and is second to none when it comes to building vehicles that will keep you and your family safe. In fact, every vehicle model in the lineup comes with a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ rating from the International Institute of Highway Safety. Subaru is also known for Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive that will get you to your destination, no matter the road conditions.

A lesser-known fact is that Subaru has arguably the best rally team on the planet. To call this a little known fact may…

The sales from this past April put Subaru of America at 41 consecutive months of year-over-year growth. That's nearly three and a half straight years of increasing sales! As impressive as a streak like that is, it makes you wonder - when will that streak end?

This year's April sales totaled 47, 241 vehicles, which is 18% higher than the number of sales in April of 2014. Most vehicles in the Subaru lineup saw an increase in sales, except for the Impreza and BRZ, however, Outback and Forester sales carried most of the weight. 

Both the Subaru Outback and…

Subaru's popular Drive magazine posted a Spring 2015 article called “Canine Couture” on their website. The article featured cute dogs dressed in silly Subaru outfits, so needless to say it was pretty great. 

The dog models were all rescues from Canine Cupids Rescue, and they certainly weren't camera shy! A dozen different dogs, all clad in Subaru attire, show us that some canines may have bigger aspirations than simply being a wonderful and loyal best friend. There's the business dog, the DJ dog, the surfer dog, and the Kentucky Derby dog, just to name a few. One…

No officer, I wasn't texting. I was just taking a selfie! AT&T recently conducted a survey to find out how people are using their phones while driving. According to AT&T, seven out of ten drivers fiddle with their smartphones while behind the wheel, and it's not just to text.

This statistic may or may not come as a surprise to you. The fact that 70% of people use their phones while driving means that there's a decent chance that you’re one of those people. What’s startling is how people are using their phones…
