I purchased this car a few months ago with the intention of using it as my daily driver as I needed something that was good on gas, but wanted something that was also fun to drive. I was really interested in the BRZ as they have gotten rave reviews other than the fact that many had wished for a bit more power. In coming across this build, I noticed it had everything I would have ever wanted to do to a BRZ and plenty of “then some”. The car does not disappoint as it handles phenomenally and has what feels to be an unlimited power band. The car has been built right with everything flowing together, not overdone or cheesy, but a purposeful, quality build that retains everything that you love about the BRZ and takes it one step further. OK, a few steps further.

So, why now am I wanting to sell it? I took a leap of faith buying this thinking I could transition from my 2010 Tundra Crewmax 4X4 to something that was a purposeful built, fuel efficient, sports car. Frankly, I was wrong. There is plenty to love about this car, but it is just not me.

The car was just inspected and serviced with care paid to the few minor details needing attention (alignment, tire balancing, and leaking brake line) and while at the speed shop, I had the suspension adjusted for optimization. There are no issues with the car as I and the previous owner have been meticulous in its care.

The car has ~20k miles on it. I and the previous owner are adult drivers who have never abused the car and have maintained her well. The BRZ is regularly serviced with Motul products and inspected regularly. The purchase price of the car new was $32.5K (not including taxes) with over $22K of premium parts and clean/quality upgrades invested into the car. It's truly done right and all-around perfect.

The Limited Trim includes navigation, push button start, alcantara/leather heated seats, dual automated climate control w/digital read outs, and a Homelink adaptive rear view mirror.

US Army tests Subaru-powered hybrid truck

Sat, 04 Jan 2014

The military has been studying the implementation of alternative drivetrains for years, a tiny sampling of which includes the diesel-electric hybrid technical hauler and L-ATV from Oshkosh Defense and the Aggressor from Quantum Technologies. There was also ADA Technologies' work with ultracapitors, General Motors' focus on fuel cells and the roll out of electric motorcycles for Special Forces. In the Ultra Light Vehicle (ULV) prototype vehicle pictured above, we have the latest developments in the Department of Defense's hybrid interest combined with a need to develop a lightweight replacement for the AM General Humvee.
In 2010 the Office of the Secretary of Defense put the Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) in charge of developing a personnel carrier that could "balance payload, performance and protection," and do so without exorbitant cost. Armored Humvees can weigh more than seven tons, and while the ULV is just under 14,000 pounds, the new vehicle can do a lot more with its weight.
The Subaru turbodiesel under the hood puts out 175 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That's not much for pulling 13,916 pounds, so it's assisted by two Remy 410HVH HT electric motors each capable of adding 268 continuous hp and 369 peak hp, along with 844 lb-ft of continuous torque or 1,221 ft-lbs at peak. They're only limited by the 14.2 kWh lithium-ion battery rated at 65 kW of continuous power and 180 kW of peak power, but still, TARDEC says the ULV can do 21 miles on electric power and on the flats has a combined range of 337 miles at 35 mph.

Subaru ending Tribeca production in January?

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

The writing has been on the wall for some time, but it seems that Subaru is finally pulling the lever on the guillotine to put the midsize Tribeca crossover out of its misery. Jalopnik has what appears to be a communication from Subaru to its dealers announcing that the final Tribeca will roll off the Lafayette, IN assembly line in January, with the last dealer delivery expected to occur the following month.
The last report we heard regarding the Tribeca said that Subaru could be planning a fullsize, three-row crossover, possibly to compete against the Nissan Pathfinder and Ford Explorer. Dropping the Tribeca would leave the automaker without a three-row crossover for the foreseeable future, but according to the memo, Subaru has sold just 78,000 Tribecas since 2005 making it one of the worst-selling vehicles in the US in 2011 and 2012 - for comparison, the automaker has already found 84,372 customers for its new Forester this year (through September) alone.
We have reached out to Subaru for comment on the Tribeca's passing, but have yet to hear back as of this writing. Stay tuned for an update, when and if we get word.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.
