Likes
  • headlights (if they dent have those red accents)
  • taillights
  • the shape
  • the new "moustache"

Dislikes
  • the matte color
  • the wheels
  • the spoiler
  • the hyper busy interior
  • that massive diffuser

I must be getting older, because some much of this stuff just doesn't float my boat. I guess I like the car to be more subdued.

Only CVT I've ever driven that I liked was on my Polaris Scrambler 400 ATV, and the only reason I liked it was because it had a handlebar switch that allowed the Scrambler to go as fast in reverse as it did moving forward.

The biggest problem with it was no engine braking. Not a good thing on a long technical downhill trail.

I figured it out.

I would be more excited about this concept



than this concept



You can make your car look good without going overboard.

but you know it's your car, you do as you please, but is Subaru were fulling which of these to put into production, I would hope for the former, not the latter.

Honestly if you don't like the BRZ tS as an STi then move along. Strip away the concept exterior and the gt300 engine and what's underneath is a BRZ tS with the exception of the bilsteins shocks (which didn't complete development until after the tS was released)

Fugly, but they do know who their market is. "Oh look! More lights, must have....."

ETA: To be honest, the current BRZ front end does look a bit better than the FR-S, nice to see this one will be uglier.
