Once the definitive sport compact performance machine, has the Honda Civic Si been supplanted by the Subaru BRZ?
Subaru continues in its quest to be more Toyota-like with the new Impreza, although many of its best features include brand staples like permanent all-wheel drive.
As Subaru attempts to go after the mainstream, its once-quirky Impreza fails to impress us.
In the crowded midsize crossover/SUV category, the Subaru Tribeca provides a surprisingly sporty driving experience but comes up short on both passenger and cargo space.

Tired of Toyotas? Yawning over Hondas? The Subaru Forester may not be the prettiest SUV, but its features and capability are at the top of its class.
