We recently confirmed that we won’t be seeing a turbocharged Subaru BRZ anytime soon; however, we now have a fairly good idea of what kind of power such a model will eventually bring. Subaru has dropped the first turbocharged variant of its 2.0-liter, FA-series flat-four engine—the...

LeMons New England Day ...

With the huge quantities of BMW E30s in 24 Hours of LeMons races (the temptation of a cheap— if not so reliable— rear-wheel-drive car with manual transmission and big brakes is hard for many racers to resist), it’s rare that we see a day’s racing end without a single one...

BMW has announced mileage figures for the 2013 X1 crossover, and the high-riding wagon is as fuel-thrifty as the new-for-2012 3-series sedan . The X1 has been on sale in Europe for a few years, but for 2013 BMW gave the crossover a midcycle refresh and sent it our way for the first time....
