Watch Subaru’s Six Adorable New Dog Commercials For Crosstrek, Impreza

Subaru has released a new series of six commercials featuring the Barkley family of golden retrievers and a golden labrador. These beloved dogs have been the stars of Subaru’s “Dog Tested. Dog Approved.” commercial campaign in the past.

“On Repeat” is an ad for the Crosstrek that portrays a familiar situation for parents of young kids. The radio is playing an annoying children’s song, and as soon as it ends, the puppy in the backseat starts whining to hear it again.

In the commercial titled “Glamping Trip,” the dogs go camping in an Ascent. Two dalmatians are in a tent, and the Barkleys arrive towing a stylish dog house on a trailer. The dog house is complete with lights, flowers, and even a fire hydrant.

In the “Toys” commercial, two young dogs make a mess in the driveway and yard by scattering their playthings. The adult golden retriever arrives and creates a cacophony by running over the squeakers. The voiceover highlights the Forester’s ability to handle unexpected terrain.

The “College” commercial features one of the pups getting ready to leave for university. The Impreza RS, the car they are in, is packed with funny cargo like a box with a “Treats Treats Treats” display, as well as bowls and tennis balls. The labrador chases after the car as it drives away at the end of the ad.

In the camping-themed commercial “Everybody In,” the Barkleys are seen in a Crosstrek Wilderness with a roof-mounted tent. However, they are not the only ones who want to get in the sleeping area. The ad opens with the Barkleys running up a ramp, followed by a skunk. A flap comes down to prevent the skunk from entering.

The “Bikers” commercial is for the Outback. The Barkleys park in front of a restaurant and find a group of dogs on motorcycles. The puppy barks at them, and a tiny pup wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses barks back.

Subaru’s sales have been strong, with 354,481 units sold from January through July 2023, an increase of 16 percent compared to the same period last year.

The best-selling Subaru model in the first seven months of 2023 is the Outback, with 93,833 units sold. The Crosstrek comes in second place with 87,371 vehicles sold, followed by the Forester with 75,814 vehicles sold.

Witness the Development Process of the New Subaru WRX Rally Car

Subaru recently introduced its new rally car, which will be competing in the American Rally Association Championship starting from August 2. However, its first official race will take place at the Ojibwe Forests Rally on August 25 and 26. Leading up to its debut, Subaru is documenting the vehicle’s development journey.

The video begins with Subaru’s participation in the 2022 ARA Championship. During this time, the team faced tough competition from Ken Block and made aerodynamic modifications to the WRX in order to close the gap. It’s worth noting that the team has been using this chassis since 2015.

Subaru may no longer be involved in the World Rally Championship, but the company is still active in regional events such as the American Rally Association Championship.

Subaru BRZ, Toyota GR86 Owner Test Reveals Oil Pressure Issue During Right Turns

The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86, introduced in 2021, grabbed attention with their larger 2.4-liter boxer four-cylinder engine, offering more power than the previous model. However, some owners have reported sporadic engine problems. To investigate further, a 2022 Subaru BRZ owner has conducted a test.

The test, featured in a video on the YouTube channel “900BRZ,” is introduced by a person named Brian, who owns a 2022 BRZ. In the video, he evaluates both his BRZ and a 2022 Toyota GR86 on a track, with four different drivers of varying skill levels. The cars were equipped with two oil pressure sensors and connected to a custom software suite that recorded real-time data of engine oil pressure during track driving.
