Well cool. Acceleration would still be moot since I have nothing to compare it to.

The problem is right now they have absolutely no extra capacity in any of their manufacturing plants. They sell every car they make and it looks like they aren't going to make any extra plants. Also most of their vehicles overlap market share wise. They almost now need a car smaller than the Impreza, it is getting too large and expensive. Last edited by why?; 05-19-2018 at 06:17 PM. |

I mean, I had a feeling the first ~10 pages or so would be rumors and/or prototype renderings, wishful thinking, suppositions, flaming, etc.... I waited a month and 20 pages before checking this thread. I'll check back in 4 months, or after ~60 pages to see if anything worthwhile has been posted... |

If there's a next gen 86/BRZ one question would be whether it would get the new safety suite and if it does which system does it use? Toyota's TSS system is completely different to Subaru's Eye Sight. From what Subaru seems to see, manual transmission and Eye Sight don't mix thus no manual transmission Subaru offers Eye Sight. Toyota does have TSS on manual transmission cars...but I've heard mixed reviews about their integration. The car reacting automatically particularly when it comes to the motion of the car without the driver's input seems contradictory to the manual transmission. |

http://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/deskto...rn-iihs-awards For the pre-collision systems, etc., it sounds like they're not quite necessary for the rating, but they definitely do give models the edge towards the TSP+ award. Some snips from the article that are of relevance: Quote:

Catching back up to the thread, yes, I concur that Subaru would do well to have a relatively diverse lineup. At the same time, for how much pride the brand takes in the many accolades of safety, longevity, etc., I wonder how they really feel each time "all models except BRZ" has to be used. Seeing as we just got our facelift, I'm curious to see if Subaru tries to do anything within this generation to try and get it back on the IIHS "whitelist." |
