Letters: Chicago should rethink NASCAR possibilities
There is something that is not quite right about doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. This brings to mind the NASCAR race on Chicago's lakefront streets for the past three years. Since the city of Chicago and NASCAR agree there will be no race in 2026, that gives everyone a chance to take a deep breath and start thinking outside the box or, in this case, outside the makeshift road course that doesn't seem to make anybody happy. How about a NASCAR Festival at Navy Pier or even at McCormick Place? Think Chicago Auto Show but for NASCAR devotees and all kinds of car geeks. Giant screens showing historic NASCAR races and highlights. Cars, drivers, pit crews, vendors, entertainers and even sponsors could be showcased over a couple of days along our magnificent lakefront. Navy Pier has tons of space outdoors and inside. McCormick Place already has a blueprint for showcasing cars and trucks, plus all the neat car stuff you can imagine. If the whole purpose of what transpired in Chicago over the past three years was to build the NASCAR brand and get Chicagoans to fall in love with everything NASCAR, while bringing revenue to the city, then think what a festival could do. More people could possibly attend. Chicago's weather would be much less of a factor. There could be ample opportunities to let folks actually touch the cars and listen to, or talk to, those who are devoted to everything NASCAR. The people on both sides who are responsible for what will happen here in 2027 have ample time to figure out the actual opportunities and costs without shutting down a single learning that NASCAR decided not to return to Chicago in 2026, my first reaction was: 'Yeah!' My second reaction was: Thanks for returning Grant Park back to Chicago. My third reaction was: Now let's return the Taste of Chicago to Grant Park in July, when it is supposed to be, and let's return it to at least a full-week schedule and with more activities, like it used to be, and not the measly, reduced-size, three-day weekend as is scheduled this year. And also, let's return the Fourth of July fireworks to the Grant Park lakefront instead of the out-of-the-way, hard-to-get-to, overcrowded Navy their July 23 op-ed ('How do we help America's national parks? Make global visitors pay more'), Tate Watkins and Sharon Suiwen Zou advocate making international visitors to our national parks pay higher admission fees. They embrace the administration's 'America First' policy under the pretense of generating more revenue to 'sustain our most treasured public lands for visitors of all types' — you know, those foreign types! This is the same administration cutting national parks staff, looking to open up parks for private development and starting global tariff wars (with many countries that have been America's biggest source of tourism). How do you think that's going to play out? Want to visit the Eiffel Tower, the Vatican or Tower of London? Oh, you're an American? You have to pay more. America's 85 million acres of national parks are places where everyone is welcome to experience the natural beauty of the United States. Raising fees for global visitors would drive more tourism away than add any meaningful funding for the park system. Throughout our history, presidents, Congress and leaders of industry have protected and invested with pride in keeping national parks pristine and accessible. They didn't scheme to make a land grab for mining minerals, drilling for oil or building condos. This isn't about budgetary constraints or political correctness. It's a foreign policy message. Let's not hide behind 'America First' and wind up 'America Last.'Thank you for the article regarding Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church ('Will Pope Leo XIV forge greater LGBTQ+ inclusion?' July 20). Our Lady of Mount Carmel has been a keystone of LGBTQ+ inclusivity for decades. I remember 40 years ago turning to the church after an egregious life event and was welcomed by one of the deacons there, who not only was empathetic but also invited me and my partner to the rectory and his own home. I will never forget this kindness and the empathy extended to us! Thank you so much for highlighting this wonderful community you for the 'Sundae school' article in the Wednesday Food & Health section. My wife and I went that day to the Karak Cafe on Ogden Avenue in Lisle to congratulate them on their being highlighted in the article and try the Dubai chocolate sundae that was featured. The very friendly and gracious family there was unaware of your front-page section article but was pleased that we let them know about it. Also, the Dubai chocolate sundae is not on the cafe's posted menu, but fortunately, it is available upon did I sit on a bus bench recently for over an hour, contemplating the dire future of our planet that is heating up at an alarming rate? I'll tell you why: because no bus came, neither a city bus nor a free bus, while a thousand cars and trucks trundled by or stopped to idle noisily at a red light before continuing on. Four other people joined my vigil, each staring at their phone, naturally. Every person I asked about a possible arrival time for the bus had a different version: five minutes, 12 minutes, 14 minutes, etc. Finally, a fifth soul came along whose phone told her that the bus was 'canceled.' I don't mind that I simply walked back home without completing my little shopping trip. I do mind that we should be cutting down on traffic, thereby helping prevent dangerous air pollution. We encourage people to take public transportation to help save our planet. But who wants to take buses and trains that can't be relied upon? And can we blame people for taking their cars knowing they can make three or four stops in an hour and still be home by lunchtime? Future public transportation is going to have to be some kind of wonderful if we have any hopes of reducing the number of cars and trucks on the streets of our cities.

2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Review
High point Low point Verdict Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is still the king in this segment for road holding ability and surefootedness Technology and use of materials on the interior are not up to scratch compared to the newcomers in the mid-size SUV segment. It's still the obvious choice for traditionally minded mid-size SUV buyers and those that want to go a little further off the beaten path than most. Scroll horizontally to view full table With a debut at the Chicago Auto Show earlier in the year, we've finally gone behind the wheel of the new Subaru Forester Hybrid at the press launch in Christchurch, New Zealand. It's the first in a line of new models that are scheduled to enter Subaru Australia showrooms over the next 12 months, but it's arguably their most important model release in decades as it arrives with Hybrid power to tackle the top-selling Toyota RAV4 and others like the Mitsubishi Outlander. But can it deliver the good? We headed to New Zealand to find out. How Much is the Subaru Forester Hybrid? The all-new Subaru Forester is available in seven variants, priced from AUD$43,490 plus on-road costs for the non-hybrid entry-level petrol model and from AUD$46,490 plus on-road costs for the Forester Hybrid. What Do You Get for the Money? Here's everything you get for your money when buying a Subaru Forester in Australia. I'll start by outlining the standard options across the petrol range before moving into the Forester Hybrid. Petrol-Only Variants of the Subaru Forester Forester AWD – from AUD$43,490 plus on-roads 2.5-litre Boxer petrol engine Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive X-Mode Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) – 2 mode Subaru's Vision Assist with Panoramic 360 Degree View Monitor 9 SRS airbags now including: Far Side airbag Front Passenger Seat Cushion airbag The latest gen of Subaru EyeSight®, which now adds: Wide-angle monocular camera Emergency Driving Stop System Front-side radar Reverse Automatic Braking Driver Monitoring System An 11.6-inch high-definition touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity Wireless Qi charger Heated front seats Ladder-style roof rails 18-inch alloy wheels Forester AWD Premium – from AUD$46,490 plus on-roads adds: Satellite navigation Powered tailgate with kick sensor Powered front seats: 8-way power seat with dual memory – driver Electric lumbar support – driver 8-way power seat – front passenger Auto driver's seat and door mirror adjustment DMS functions Auto folding door mirrors with auto dipping passenger mirror on reverse Forester AWD Sport – from AUD$48,490 plus on-roads adds: X-Mode – 2 mode Water repellent synthetic leather seat trim Electric sunroof Dark metallic 18-inch alloy wheels Unique styling cues such as: Black front grille with green insert Symmetrical All Wheel Drive exterior badge – Green Exterior Sport badge – Green Interior seat stitching – Green leather steering wheel with green stitching Shift boot with green stitching Forester AWD Touring – from AUD$50,990 plus on-roads adds: 10 speakers, plus sub-woofer and amplifier, Harman Kardon® audio system Leather and Ultrasuede® accented seat trim in a choice of black or brown colour themes Front seat ventilation Stylish gloss black exterior highlights on the: Front grille Front and rear bumper Side garnish Door mirror caps Low-profile roof rails Hybrid Variants of the Subaru Forester Forester AWD Hybrid – from AUD$46,490 plus on-roads Next generation strong hybrid e-Boxer Lineartronic CVT with Sports Regeneration Paddles Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive X-Mode – 2 mode Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) Subaru's Vision Assist with Panoramic 360 Degree View Monitor 9 SRS airbags now including: Far Side airbag Front Passenger Seat Cushion airbag The latest gen of Subaru EyeSight®, which now adds: Wide-angle monocular camera Emergency Driving Stop System Front-side radar Reverse Automatic Braking Driver Monitoring System An 11.6-inch high-definition touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity Wireless Qi Charger Heated front seats Ladder-style roof rails 18-inch alloy wheels Forester AWD Hybrid Sport – from AUD$54,990 plus on-roads adds: Stylish bronze accents on the: Front and rear bumper Side garnish Symmetrical All Wheel Drive badge Electric sunroof 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster Satellite navigation Powered tailgate with kick sensor Auto driver's seat and door mirror adjustment DMS functions Powered front seats: 8-way power seat with dual memory – driver Electric lumbar support – driver 8-way power seat – front passenger Auto folding door mirrors with auto dipping passenger mirror on reverse 10 speakers, plus sub-woofer and amplifier, Harman Kardon® audio system Enhanced suspension for improved comfort on bumpy roads Low-profile roof rails 19-inch alloy wheels – Bronze colour Forester AWD Hybrid Touring – from AUD$55,990 plus on-roads adds: 19-inch alloy wheels – Dark grey machined gloss finish Leather and Ultrasuede® accented seat trim in a choice of black or brown colour themes Front seat ventilation Stylish gloss black exterior highlights on the: Front grille Front and rear bumper Side garnish How Much Does the Subaru Forester Hybrid Cost to Run? Subaru Forester Hybrid is covered by a 5-year/ unlimited kilometre warranty in Australia and an 8-year, 160,000km warranty for the Hybrid battery. Here's how much it costs to service under the brand's 5-year/75,000km Capped Price Servicing Program, which covers both petrol and hybrid AWD variants: 1 Month (Health Check & Chat) – Free – Free 15,000km / 12 Months – $347.95 – $347.95 30,000km / 24 Months – $520.45 – $520.45 45,000km / 36 Months – $393.10 – $393.10 60,000km / 48 Months – $679.30 – $679.30 75,000km / 60 Months – $358.20 This pricing is about average for the mid-size SUV segment, but you might find cheaper pricing from some of the cut-price Chinese-made competition like MG, Chery, etc., if this is a concern. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia What's the Interior of the Subaru Forester Hybrid Like? The interior of the Subaru Forester Hybrid is pragmatic, to say the least. There's very little in the way of showy, shiny things that catch your eye like they would inside the Chinese-made competition. However, that's not to say that it's not a pleasant place to sit, and many will appreciate the simplicity of the control and the glasshouse effect of having a high driving position and low window line. To my surprise, physical buttons adorn the steering wheel, there's a large stick in the centre of the cabin to select gears instead of a nub, the cupholders are exposed so you can chuck things inside, and you can even change the direction of the aircon vents by moving them with your hands. These were all typical new car things five years ago, but they've mostly been phased out as the wave of new car brands has rewritten consumers' expectations. It's very hard for me to critique Subaru for sticking with the old ways because I'm sure it's exactly what their market research team says the customer wants, but it does feel like you're going back five years when you get inside the cabin. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia Practicality and storage are areas where the Forester has always reigned supreme, but the battery has taken its toll on the cargo space inside the Forester Hybrid. The non-hybrid models have 496 litres of cargo space in the boot, while the hybrid models have just 484 litres. This is significantly less than the Toyota RAV4, which manages 542 litres of space with the floor in its highest position. Meanwhile, the larger and more expensive Volkswagen Tiguan manages 652 litres of space. Fold the second-row seats down and you'll have 1,162 litres of space in the hybrid models, which is useful for late-night Facebook marketplace finds. You'll appreciate the handful of clever features in the boot too, such as the four pull‑out tie‑down points and side‑wall cargo hooks to secure bulky items or camping gear, the ceiling hooks to hang shopping bags or garment bags upright, and the retractable cargo blind to keep valuables out of sight (tucks away when not needed). Heck, even the door pockets are large enough to store 1‑litre drink bottles. Ports-wise, there's one USB‑A and one USB‑C up front and in the rear, an aux jack, and two 12‑volt outlets. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia The technology inside the new Subaru Forester gets the job done, but there's very little wow factor compared to other vehicles in this class. There's an 11.6‑inch portrait touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (full screen) available on every grade. However, it's far from the highest-quality screen on the market, and while I never had any trouble connecting my phone to the bevy of vehicles we drove on the launch, it's like operating a Kindle while everyone else is using an iPhone. The upcoming 2026 Subaru Outback goes away from this system, but it seems the Forester will make do until a mid-cycle facelift eventually arrives. The standard 6‑speaker sound system (Core, Premium, Sport & Hybrid) sounds okay, but the better 10‑speaker Harman Kardon sound system with sub‑woofer and external amp (Touring, Hybrid Sport, Hybrid Touring) should be standard across most models in the range at this point because competitors offer better standard audio systems for less money. I was also disappointed to see that only the Touring models get the new 12.3‑inch full LCD instrument cluster with Normal, Map and EyeSight views, while every other model in the lineup has to use the same old 4.2‑inch colour Multi‑Information Display that we've seen in Subarus for years. I understand why Subaru would keep the technology updates to a minimum, but even the cheapest new cars on sale in Australia have quality screens, sound systems, and driver displays these days. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid | Image: Subaru USA What's Under the Bonnet of the Subaru Forester Hybrid? There are two powertrain options available with the new Subaru Forester in Australia. Subaru Forester Petrol models are powered by: Engine : 2.5-litre horizontally opposed Boxer 4-cylinder : 2.5-litre horizontally opposed Boxer 4-cylinder Power : 136kW @ 5,800rpm : 136kW @ 5,800rpm Torque : 247Nm @ 3,700rpm : 247Nm @ 3,700rpm Transmission : Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with: 8-speed manual mode Broader gear ratio range (8.1) Retuned for stronger take-off acceleration Lower 1st and reverse gears for increased performance on hills : Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with: Fuel economy : 7.9 litres/100km (combined) : 7.9 litres/100km (combined) Fuel tank capacity : 63L : 63L Towing: 1,800kg braked, 750kg unbraked Subaru Forester Hybrid models are powered by: Engine : 2.5-litre Boxer petrol engine with 90kW electric motor and 1.1kWh lithium-ion battery Power : 121kW @ 5,600 rpm Torque : 212Nm @ 4,000–4,400 rpm : 2.5-litre Boxer petrol engine with 90kW electric motor and 1.1kWh lithium-ion battery Combined system output : 145kW : 145kW Transmission : TH2B Hybrid Transaxle Planetary gearset Integrated secondary electric motor/generator (MG1) : Fuel economy : 6.2L/100km (combined) : 6.2L/100km (combined) Range : Over 1,000km per tank (indicative) : Over 1,000km per tank (indicative) Towing: 1,200kg braked, 750kg unbraked The non-Hybrid 2.5-litre horizontally opposed Boxer 4-cylinder produces 136kW @ 5,800rpm and 247Nm @ 3,700rpm. Meanwhile, the Forester Hybrid features a 2.5-litre Boxer petrol engine with a 90kW electric motor powered by a 1.1kWh lithium-ion battery for a combined power figure of 145kW. That means the overall power figure is similar to the recently unveiled 2026 Toyota RAV4 (143kW), but down compared to the 226kW RAV4 PHEV variant. Notably, the Forester Hybrid's claimed city fuel economy has jumped by 30 per cent over the naturally aspirated petrol to a claimed 6.2-litres per 100km combined. Even more impressively, this hybrid powertrain delivers an impressive driving range of over 1,000km per tank (based on laboratory results under ADR testing conditions). Even on our test drive through the twisty roads of NZ, we managed to achieve an average figure of 6.8 litres per 100km, which is good, but not quite at RAV4 levels. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia How Does the Subaru Forester Hybrid Drive? I've poked a lot of holes in the Subaru Forester Hybrid so far, but there's one thing that Subaru has always done well, and that's create a car that drives well. They've done it again with the Forester Hybrid. While I'm unsure how many buyers will be throwing it at the sweeping country roads, gravel tracks, and muddy trails that we tackled on our launch drive, these are the types of roads where the Symmetrical AWD system with its active‑torque split coupling proves its worth. There are very few mid-size SUVs that I'd want to drive on these roads with any sort of anger, but I know that the Forester is at the top of the list. I hate the word 'planted,' but that's how it feels. You try and unsettle it through a slippery gravel sweeper, and the front end stays hooked while the rear end rotates the car around in a controlled manner. It could do with some more feel through the electric rack‑and‑pinion steering, but it's much better than the previous-generation vehicle, and it keeps the tight 10.8 m turning circle. It's the same story on the backroads, winding its way through the country with ease. The only negative is the constant beeps from the EyeSight driver monitoring system, but I'm never going to turn it off as it once saved me from a very awkward phone call to Subaru's PR department. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia Surprisingly, the planetary gearbox (not a CVT, but kind of a CVT) isn't taking away from the experience. While I'd prefer a snappy dual-clutch or well-tuned automatic, it's perfectly adequate. On the power front, the Forester Hybrid doesn't feel much quicker than the petrol model. It wouldn't be far off to assume that the only performance gains to be had are in the fuel consumption department. Would it have been exciting to see a little more attitude from the powerplant under the bonnet? Yes, but it's still punching out enough grunt to get out of harm's way when needed. The MacPherson struts suspension up front and double‑wishbones at the rear do a great job of softening any bumps on the smooth tarmac around Christchurch, and I would say the overall ride quality of the Forester is very good in all specifications. You'd be pretty hard pressed to tell the difference between the petrol and hybrid models in terms of suspension set-up, but the brand does assure us that there is a difference, which is likely down to the added weight of the batteries and electric motor. Lastly, we challenged a few rougher tracks to check out the full breadth of capabilities of the X-Mode II system available in the higher trims. This proved once again that the Forester is capable of keeping up with 98% of the tracks that your tradie mates drive in their dual-cab utes. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia Is the Subaru Forester Hybrid Safe? The Subaru Forester scores a 5-star ANCAP safety rating with full marks for driver protection in the side impact, oblique pole and full width tests. Here's a closer look at the ANCAP ratings: Adult occupant protection – 83 per cent – 83 per cent Child occupant protection – 91 per cent – 91 per cent Vulnerable road user protection – 86 per cent – 86 per cent Safety assist – 75 per cent Standard safety equipment across the range includes (A-Z): 9 airbags, including: Far-side Front passenger seat cushion Active torque vectoring Autonomous emergency braking (forward and reverse) Autonomous emergency steering Adaptive cruise control Blind-spot monitoring Driver monitoring system Emergency driving stop system Emergency lane-keep assist Front-side radar Lane centring Lane change assist Lane-keep assist Rear cross-traffic alert Rear parking sensors Surround-view camera Traffic sign recognition Tyre pressure monitoring Wide-angle monocular camera NOTE: There is no full-size spare wheel. 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring | Image: Supplied / Subaru Australia Man of Many's Verdict on the Subaru Forester Hybrid If you're a traditionally minded mid-size SUV buyer, the new Subaru Forester is worth taking a closer look at. While it still lacks the wow factor compared to many of the newcomers from China, it's a pragmatic vehicle that you can trust to take you further and last longer than just about anything else in this class. Still, adventurer or not, the recalibrated steering, suspension, and gearbox will make everyday driving more pleasant, as will the increased sound insulation in the cabin and upgraded tech that finally brings it closer to the standards we expect in this ever-evolving segment. I believe the hardest choice for buyers in the showroom will be between the petrol and hybrid grades. The $6,500 price increase from Sport to Sport Hybrid would buy you a lot of petrol.

Ford recalls 133K SUVs over loose parts that can detach while driving
Ford is recalling nearly 133,000 SUVs over two parts that can detach while the car is in motion, potentially causing a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rear door window bars and C-pillar trim, which is located near the back windows, may have insufficient adhesive bonding, which can allow the trim to break loose from the vehicle. The recall includes 132,914 Lincoln 2020-2025 Aviator vehicles. Ford estimates that 3.2% of these, or 4,250 cars, actually have the defect. A Lincoln Aviator gets a final inspection before it rolls off the assembly line. Getty Images Owners should bring their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer, where the faulty parts can be repaired or replaced free of charge, the automaker said. Ford said it expects to send notification letters to owners of the impacted vehicles by July 28. It will send second letters once the remedy is available. As of May 29, it was aware of 1,105 warranty claims of the window bars or trim separating from the vehicle. Ford took the faulty part out of production on May 30. A 2021 Lincoln Aviator at the Chicago Auto Show. Bloomberg via Getty Images The company said it is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to the defect. Drivers should keep an eye out, as they may notice the C-pillar applique and division bar start to separate from the vehicle, Ford said.
