The first Toyobaru twin, the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ are probably the best sports cars for beginners. While it has only been 2 years since the second generation was introduced, Toyota is rumoured to have already started development of the next generation but without the help of Subaru. Japanese automotive publication, Best Car Web reported that the next generation of the GR86 could be utilising the turbocharged 1.6-litre 3-cylinder engine as seen in the GR Corolla and GR Yaris. While the two

Considered a bit of an underdog compared to its richer and more popular Japanese peers, Subaru is turning 70 in 2023. Even though it was established in 1953 as Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., the origins of Subaru began in 1917. A century after the company first took off (this pun will eventually make sense), Fuji Heavy Industries renamed itself Subaru Corporation. However, before it became known more as a carmaker, Subaru started off in the aircraft industry. 1917-53: A flying start Cikuhei Nakajim

Subaru announced today that it has developed EyeSight for manual transmission cars. The feature will be introduced on the Japanese market Subaru BRZ by the end of this year, before introducing it in other Subaru models. EyeSight is Subaru’s signature stereo camera-only Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). It’s a world’s first technology, dating back to 2008, but was previously only available for automatic transmission Subaru models. Today’s EyeSight’s autonomous emergency braking (AEB) can

Carmakers and their concepts should always be consumed together with all the salt the Dead Sea has to offer, in that you should always cast doubt on the odds of those concepts being turned into the reality of production cars we can actually buy. Sometimes, they’re merely design exercises or a “Hail Mary” by carmakers in the red hoping to reignite excitement among the public. Either way, take them all in the same conviction of a hot girl liking one of your Instagram posts… it never means she want

Before we continue, we’d like to extend our gratitude to Motion Beyond (Subaru Setia Alam) for the hospitality and making this photoshoot possible.

If you’re looking for a car to hone your driving skills with a budget of around RM 100k, the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ twins are highly recommended. Why the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ? Because they’re rear-wheel drive (RWD). When it comes to driving, RWD cars are generally preferred by enthusiasts. Why is RWD preferred? It’s all about balance and utilizing the available traction from all four tyres. With a RWD car’s drivetrain spread out across the underbody, the front-to-rear weight distribution is more e

It took Toyota (and Subaru) nearly ten years between the launch of the first-generation 86/BRZ and its successor but according to rumours from Japanese media, the third generation could be launched much sooner. How soon is that? Well, sources told Best Car Web that Toyota is aiming for the next-gen GR86 to be launched as early as 2025. If Toyota can achieve that goal, it would make the current GR86 have the shortest lifecycle thus far. One of the reasons for the probable short model life might b

Toyota dealers in Japan have stopped accepting anymore bookings for Toyota GR86 since September 2022, likewise Subaru dealers with the GR86’s sister-car the Subaru BRZ. This has led to speculations that the GR86 (and BRZ) will be discontinued in 2023 once all outstanding bookings are fulfilled. Adding fuel to the rumour is an announcement by a Toyota dealer on its website, on its waiting period advice section, the GR86 is described as "Current model ending." It’s highly unusual to discontinue a
