I'm interested in those headlights and the CF bezels on the window/mirror controls!

I like it, looks fancier. Maybe increased price or weight ?

Weird... But am I the only one noticing this?... The stalk has a foglight switch; however, there's no foglights to be seen on the vehicle...

A lot of the new stuff seems unecessary. IE the buttons on the steering wheel

I think the fog lights thing furthers our idea of them updating a current model. Although beforehand this was only suggested for the black one, but now Im starting to think they both are similar cases.

Facelift done right. Makes me want to trade my BRZ in for one.

Wow looks great, and I actually prefer it to the current BRZ tbh, something I can't say about the 86 yet. It's also cool to see real pictures of everything, the only negatives I would call out would be the cheap "carbon fiber" trim, the ugly buttons (should have been flush and the same color as the spokes), and the chintzy LCD screen in the cluster. Otherwise I am liking this!

It's what the people wanted because it's 21st Century technology. I love the steering wheel on my BRZ though

Subaru's obsession with fake CF and crappy gloss interior bits.

and why can't you give us this steering wheel? maybe in a smaller diameter. The button layout looks so much better.

Oh yeah, that's right... Was focusing soo hard on the details that I've missed the obvious... They're both different colours = different cars

LOL

deeerrp~

Couple of aesthetics I've noticed:

1. Subaru's signature Boomerangs are replacing the DRL bars? Looks bright enough to be a standalone DRL.

2. The brake lights are a bit interesting. I thought the round circular cluster of LEDs were the reverse lights, but it's actual braking light. Reminds me of a scion TC's braking light. Not sure how I feel about that..

3. Hopefully Subaru will import the LED headlight from the current gen WRX. I'd probably consider replacing my whole entire headlight unit

I agree, I don't like the button layout at all. But at least you finally don't have to mess with the touchscreen to skip a track.

The wheels look bizzare to me. What's with the fangs?

Is it wrong for me to be more intrigued by that R32 Skyline?

And at the risk of sounding like a whiner, a square LCD in a circular pod is just silly. Either leave it as is or go full digital like recent German cars.

Seems the intake is identical to the current one.
