NEW YORK – Without a doubt, the 2026 Subaru Outback’s redesign is the most radical in this model’s long history. In 1994, the automaker created the original recipe by giving the Legacy wagon an off-road makeover, and the hyper-popular result set the template for three decades of Outback wagons.

SAVANNAH, Ga. — I stood there, waiting my turn to hop inside the 2025 Mini John Cooper Works (JCW). Everyone around me was going on and on about the specs and features, excited to get their hands on the wheel. But as I stood there, I couldn’t help thinking, “Is it really that great?” Sure, it looked good, but would it truly be good?
