An aftermarket company needs to make a new front bumper and this car can possibly look good again.

Like I said, if I wanted a GT car I would probably have this on my drive way (V6). Just that...face needs some lovin'.

It's about inner beauty. Just look what they did with the interior :happy0180:!

I still love the front end. Looks a lot more finished. Now the front matches the rear. Broad shoulders if you will....only imo

If you think a BRZ is to an Impreza what a Genesis Coupe is to a Genesis than you are the one that should read up more.
This is funny.

Really shows how much you understand about the two cars.

The front looks fantastic to me, much better than the BRZ. I love that blue color too.

new gc should have been cheaper not more expensive or the same price. Hyundai has not improved much except for a more powerful engine. Car has the same bad looking exterior

Brand new suspension, totally redone interior, new transmissions, a 65hp increase for the turbo and a 45hp increase for the v6 making it more powerful than the 370Z and any v6 pony car on the market. Expect low low 13s out of the 3.8. Seems to be worth $29k to me. As far as the $25k 2.0T, tell me another rwd turbo car on the market for under $30k?

You know what sucks? If I go with the GC I want the 2.0T more than I do the 3.8 because that's where the aftermarket will be, but the 2.0T doesn't have a Track pack =/. I know it's got the R-spec and that's what I'm interested in mostly but I want the 10 speaker audio, the navi and that spoiler . god damnit hyundai, you're making this a lot harder than it needs to be.
