I think it looks great. Could maybe do without the red seats, but I love all the exterior modifications.

I'd be truly amazed if they can stuff an AWD tranny without moving the engine forward. If they do, bye bye balance hello Impreza understeering hahah.

Speak for yourself not all imprezas are setup for understeer, haha.

XT certainly comes across as a turbo, but awd has me more curious; motor forward and lifted would be a must.

Damn it! They took my idea of having Subaru WRX 4/2 brakes/calipers & put it on FRS/BRZ... well at least I know it works now

ihaskrayon · 09-28-2012, 12:12 AM

The only thing I like is the 06-07 WRX brakes. Other than that it's just stickers and vinyl with red leather seats. The wheels aren't that amazing either...

Looks great! I love the idea of making additional trims (watered down as they may be) to the BRZ side.

I could see this going for 30k with those seats and a bit more GO.

TheRipler · 09-28-2012, 12:19 AM

Very disappointing. Looks like they weren't even trying.

reeves · 09-28-2012, 12:58 AM

Still no lumber support on those fancy red seats?

Unless they ran a rear mounted transfer case and separate front drive shaft and diff like in the GT300 race car.

just my two cents, but as a current BRZ owner - this release breaks my heart. I'm surprised Toyota is okay with this ... it's like a 1up on the 86. I can honestly say I feel a slight sense of regret buying a first gen.

rice_classic · 09-28-2012, 01:50 AM

Wow, leather seats that are entirely leather... whodathunk!?

Not assuming, it definitely is vinyl wrap.

Cars improve as the years go on. And everyone knows an STI version was already coming anyway so this shouldn't really be a surprise.
