Subaru recently debuted a series of ads centered around the all-new 2017 Impreza that will truly pull at the heartstrings of literally everyone everywhere. The ads, “More,” “Moving Out,” and “Rewind,” all feature moments in the lives of Impreza owners and how the safety features of the vehicle keep their minds at ease. “The all-new […]
New Subaru Commercial Portrays 2015 XV Crosstrek as Fountain of Youth
A new Subaru commercial for the 2015 XV Crosstrek makes the crossover seem more like a DeLorean, thanks to its apparent time-traveling abilities. Set to the tune of Joshua Radin’s “Beautiful Day,” the ad claims that “You’re only young once – unless you have a Subaru.” Take a look: New Subaru Commercial – “Fountain” Related […]
Honda Steals Subaru’s Shtick with Emotional Dog Commercial of Its Own
Subaru has a signature advertising strategy, and it involves putting really cute dogs in all of its commercials. In the past, the brand has given us a series of videos about a family of driving dogs, a folksy Outback ad about a woman dreaming of riding the rails with her dog, and perhaps the automaker’s […]
Who Is the Red-Haired Woman Riding the Train in Subaru’s “Boxcar” Commercial?
Subaru’s latest commercial is making rounds on television and online. Chances are you’ve seen this ad in recent days which promotes the 2017 Subaru Outback. The commercial, titled “Boxcar,” stars a woman who’s daydreaming about travelling on a train across the country–despite actually riding in a Subaru with her husband. The charming main actress in the […]
2017 Subaru Outback Commercial Has Everything You’d Expect: Trains, Folk Music, a Dog, & Ruggedness
As Subaru is all about road trips, it’s not surprising that a commercial for the new 2017 Outback features an old-fashioned method of transportation: freight-hopping, a.k.a. hitching a ride on a passing train without admission. It was pretty common during the Great Depression among those displaced by financial woes who couldn’t afford paid transportation. But […]
Subaru’s New ‘Proud to Earn Your Trust’ Commercial Will Hit You in All the Feels
Marks “Most Trusted Brand” and “Best Overall Brand” awards from Kelley Blue Books
Earlier this year, Subaru made a pretty awesome sweep of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards, taking home Best Overall Brand for the first time and Most Trusted Brand for the second year in a row. (Not to mention, Subaru was also named Best Performance Brand to boot.) To mark the occasion, Subaru has […]
The Barkleys Return for the Puppy Bowl in the Latest Subaru Dog Commercials
The Barkleys represent what is arguably the best series of commercials any automaker has ever produced. Sure, I might be biased as a dog lover and avid Subaru enthusiast, but my point stands. The original series of the famous Subaru dog commercials, which features a family of four pooches, aired in 2013, but the family […]
New 2016 Subaru Crosstrek Commercial Encourages Adventures
“Crossroads” demonstrates the “off the beaten path” adventures that drivers can get into behind the wheel of a Subaru Crosstrek
The 2016 Subaru Crosstrek has a new name (having dropped the XV), and with it comes a brand new advertisement—though we did enjoy last year’s Fountain of Youth commercial that assured us in the fine print that children should not drive a car. The new 2016 Subaru Crosstrek commercial is called “Crossroads” and takes a […]
Subaru’s ‘Mitch’ Commercial for the 2015 Legacy Is How All Automakers Should Advertise
“That’s just normal wear and tear, dude”
In an era of constant advertising, we see a lot of crap thrown onto screens, billboards, and signs, and most of it is just that—crap. But Subaru has a legacy (get it?) of doing things right in terms of marketing, and its latest ads, like “Making Memories” for the 2016 Forester, “Memory Lane” for the […]
What’s on the Dog’s Bucket List in the Subaru Impreza Commercial?
Earlier this month, Subaru put out the most touching commercial I have ever seen. Called “Dream Weekend,” it follows a man and his dog, celebrating the latter’s 14-and- ¾ birthday. The saddening realization that careful viewers will come to is that there is probably a reason the man is celebrating the dog’s 14-and-¾ birthday, and […]
This Subaru Impreza Commercial Featuring Willie Nelson and a Dog Will Make You Cry
Heartwarming ‘Dream Weekend’ follows a man and his dog on a bucket list quest
Subaru is on a roll this year with advertisements of the emotional variety. First, the automaker launched a 2016 Forester commercial called “Making Memories,” which put us in the eyes of a father watching his daughter slowly grow up, until the time came for him to hand her the keys to his old Subaru Forester […]
Subaru Launches First 2016 Forester Commercial, ‘Making Memories’
Subaru has just launched its very first ad for its 2016 lineup. It’s a 2016 Forester commercial, called “Making Memories,” and it was directed by Noam Murrow, a Directors Guild of America award winner. The intent of commercial is to highlight the longevity of Subaru’s models, specifically the Forester. In the video above, a dad […]
Who Are the Dogs in the Subaru Dog Commercials?
Hands down, the most adorable commercials currently airing are the ones featuring a family of dogs driving Subarus. The commercials, which can be viewed here or at the bottom of this post, first started airing in January of last year, but they saw such great success that Subaru has continued to air them to this […]

But I’ll try to write some anyway
Last year, Subaru launched an ad campaign centered on a type of family that is vastly underrepresented in the media: dog families, of course. These Subaru dog commercials focus on a family of dogs named the Barkleys as they drive around town in their Subarus (they own quite a few) and get into various hijinks. […]
Who Plays the Family of Tree Huggers in That Subaru Outback Commercial?
Have you seen that Subaru ad for the 2015 Outback that features a family of literal tree huggers taking a nostalgic trip to Woodstock? If so, then you might have wondered who plays the vaguely familiar mom character – or the hippie grandma, or the impressionable daughter, or the nondescript dad, for that matter. At […]
Subaru Dash Cam Commercial: Woman Hits Dog, Dog Steals Car
In Soviet Russia, dog wags you!
You may be aware that Russia—which is just a bit on the crazy side—has so many fraudulent insurance claims that drivers almost have to have a dash cam. Seriously, if you didn’t already know this, then you should check out some of the results, including appearances by grizzly bears, death from the sky, and the […]
Subaru Wins First-Ever ASPCA Corporate Compassion Award
Over the years, Subaru has built a reputation for manufacturing incredibly safe vehicles. But along with that, the automaker has also become known for having a soft spot for dogs. From the infamous commercials featuring the Barkley family to bringing dogs to auto shows for adoption, Subaru goes all out for canine companions. As a […]
Subaru Spotlights Hard-to-Adopt Dogs for Third Year in a Row
For the third year in a row, Subaru celebrated “National Make a Dog’s Day” by helping hard-to-adopt shelter dogs get some much-needed attention. The annual nationwide campaign shines a light on what Subaru calls “Underdogs” — those that are older, deaf, blind, or suffer from other physical ailments. Giving Back: Learn more about the Subaru […]
