WRX Concept at N.Y. Auto Show

When it comes to all-wheel drive, performance racing in any condition and Rally racing one company comes to mind “Subaru” and one name says it all “WRX” and “STI”.  Ok, that’s two names.  Let’s not quibble over the names when we can all agree these amazing performance machines have us transfixed on Subaru’s for years and now there’s something new, the Subaru WRX Concept.  With the current WRX nearing time for a refresh Subaru has been hinting at what may be to come for the WRX over the past two years or so, but with the Subaru WRX Concept at the New York Auto Show we now have the best idea yet of what’ to come for WRX.  You can experience the current performance offerings from Subaru at Briggs Subaru in Lawrence, including the car that turned the coupe world up-side-down, the 2013 Subaru BR-Z in Lawrence.

2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid

Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybird

It's Coming, late this year!

Subaru has long been known for having a passion for the environment, taking steps to reduce or eliminate waste in production and also to improve emissions performance both in production and in their vehicles.  Subaru has taken their green efforts a step farther at this year’s New York Auto Show, unveiling the 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid alongside the WRX Concept.   The 2013 XV Crosstrek was a new model to Subaru’s lineup in 2012; although not too new as it is largely a lifted version of their popular Impreza hatchback.  We currently offer the 2013 XV Crosstrek in Lawrence at Briggs Subaru, and we look forward to offering the 2014 XV Crosstrek hybrid model when it arrives at the end of the year; for now here’s what’s been confirmed by Subaru about the hybrid model.

Subaru BRZ: A Driver’s Alarm Clock

Subaru BRZ

Subaru BRZ delivers in the sports car market.

Subaru, long known as a leader in the All-Wheel-Drive market, is hitting the streets with rear-wheel-drive, and heads are turning.  The new Subaru BRZ, rear-wheel-drive coupe, delivers the quality and value Subaru is known for in a sleek, sexy, sports coupe.  Subaru BRZ the new Subaru in Lawrence, KS we’re sure you’ll be as excited by the BRZ as we are!

Only a few minutes behind the wheel of the new BRZ on a country road and you’ll be hooked.  At it’s most basic, a car moves us places, and in today’s market far too many do just that, move us from place to place.  Not the BRZ, it will get you from A to B but you may be late, as you opt for the winding, indirect route.

A small, sporty, coupe may not be right for all buyers, but for those in the market for an exciting drive on an entry-level budget the BRZ is a must drive.  The BRZ shares Subaru’s proven 200 horsepower Boxer engine, but that’s about it.  The BRZ is designed to be a deviation from the hefty, technologically complex cars dominating the current market, offering a driver-focused experience.

The BRZ delivers the kind of driving excitement that will have you looking forward to your next drive, or happy to run out and get milk.  The rear-drive platform allowed the engine to be mounted lower and further back, creating nearly perfect weight distribution and an 18.1 inch center of gravity.  For the driver this means the BRZ screams for corners and doesn’t let go when its given what it wants.

Not a tuner, not a problem, the BRZ has been designed to drive right off the showroom floor.  The traction and stability control are fully defeatable; though on or off the BRZ will stretch the smile across your face as it grips and accelerates away from the corners of your choosing.  If you’re in the market for a sporty coupe the BRZ should definitely be on your test-drive shorty list.  Stop in and test-drive a BRZ, and experience the driving excitement you’ve been missing.
