Much of what the Raptor R for 2023 has remained the same and this review will update what's new for 2024.

In fact, other than Ferrari, Subaru tops all other makes and brands in consumer loyalty.

(November 28, 2024) Personally, I've always had a love affair with long-roof vehicles, namely station wagons. Although wagons (the word "station" has long since fallen out of favor) are no longer fashionable as U.S. car buyers have flocked to crossovers and SUVs, and now only Audi, Subaru, and Volvo continue building wagons.
