In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
Click image for a high-res gallery of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STII remember the last red Subaru I drove.

Subaru Forester
At a glance, the 2008 Subaru Forester might seem like any other compact SUV. It shares its basic underpinnings with a car, for instance, and as such it's easy to drive and provides plenty of family-friendly versatility.
