Jeep Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel: Oil-burning off-road excellence

According to our friends at MotorAuthority, Subaru is working on a new hot hatch. It bears the code name Super AWD, which sounds sort-of Mitsubishi-esque to these ears. And it’s set to land sometime late in 2022. This will not be a 3- or 5-door version of the next WRX, mind you, but a vehicle…
