Having said the above ... If you are thinking that in general whatever is published in catalog cannot be related to "marketing" , then you are just dreaming or living in a fantasy land. |

Your photo analysis could be *way* off with even very small difference in position of the photographer relative to the car or lens focal length. And the dropoff in height going aft at the back of the roof isn't very steep. They'd have to move it back a long way to get 0.4" height reduction... Anyway, to my eye the new car looks less "on stilts" than the current one, from the pics I've seen. We'll see! |

I am happy with my BRZ right now, and it is so customizable that it really isn't about how it comes new, or shortcomings. It is about fun of making it over a long period of ownership. But for people who want new and pride of having something new and not change anything, or for people who will join in near future the platform maybe the new one is worth the wait. |

Part of the eyesight safety package? Cross traffic/pedestrian warning while backing?

But anyway, Monotube Bilsteins cost me $800. That would probably be a $200-$400 cost for Subaru. Could easily fold it in with new-model "upgrade" price increase, or into a new Performance Package for short $$$. But *anyway*, getting back to ride height, the cost associated with specifying greater bump travel in the updated suspension wouldn't/shouldn't have cost them much if anything. Quote:

This is the worst part about the Sachs IMO. Test drove a PP and the front end bounce on the Highway was really annoying compared to my 2017 standard suspension.

@ZDan : Did you not have an accident with your current car? If you 're not happy with the fix or have second-thoughts, then you are free to change it. Just don't try to convince everyone else that suddenly factory solved all the problems or that they'll solve them easily in a performance package option. It is not that simple and I believe you know it already. I like the choice of the new engine which for sure is an improvement, but it won't suddenly move the car into a whole new category. For me it is a total waste of money to buy the new one and start doing the same modifications. It would make sense only if he is a newcomer, or his 86/BRZ is already old with high mileage etc.
I won't continue this discussion. Got to see a nice movie |
