Glad someone else feels the same way. The BRZ is the only exception since the exterior was designed by Toyota.

Exactly man, can you imagine Subaru trying to make a rear wheel drive coupe on their own? It would would probably look like a Kia forte coupe with a base impreza front end. That's why I get so pissed when Subaru fan boys try to take all the credit and say the car is all Subaru and that the FR-S/GT86 are rebadged subarus.

Which is kind of funny looking at most of their other offerings.

and RIP

That's the pic that got me added to the Subaru email list and had me already talking the wife into it as a "family" car.

If the other pics are what it is actually going to look like it makes me want to cry!

You and me both, but believe it, the STI always look better than WRX. In this case WRX look very close to the concept already.

Though I do wonder about the compression they are using. I would love to be able to use stock wrx parts. I feel like 268 would be ideal for this application.

The current model has 265hp.


The question now is, what's the weight difference from the current model to the next model

Do you think Subaru STI concept looked good?

Most of us are disappointed with this because the concept car looked so great, so they already had a great looking design but then dropped the ball on the production version making it look like an also ran of what's already out there now and puts most of us to sleep.

Wonderful Idea. Think about how much the Header would cost ? The turbo, the exhaust pipes all together ?

I think you are looking at around 6k on top of your BRZ. Assuming all else is the same, and things can get Slapped on.

268 HP and 258 Torque is hell of a lot!!!!!!!

The STI use 2.5, then on the same scale, we are seeing 335 HP....But with STI tunes, I think we can easily expect it to go to 375 HP or...400HP

W0Wwww...mind Blow

Nice dope.
STI is gonna have the same old EJ25X, perhaps with some small tweaks. At most a handful more HP.

I'm looking forward to what Toyota has in store.

Subaru concept to production. No confidence in motion.
