Bio

I've been at the forefront of automotive news as the Senior Torque News Reporter since 2012. This role, coupled with my previous experience in a consulting role with every major car brand and as a freelance journalist test-driving new vehicles, has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the industry. I specialize in reporting the latest automotive news and providing expert analysis on Subaru, ensuring my audience is always well-informed and up-to-date. Follow me on my The Dirty Subaru website, Dirty Subaru blog, SubaruReport, AllSubaru, and WRX STI News X social media. I also use Facebook, @DenisFlierl, and Instagram for my daily reports!
