I like that padded dash also. Interesting look.

I like the new look. Seems like you can just update the current exterior by a front/rear bumper change (plus lights of course). I must be one of the only ones who wouldn't mind a few buttons on the steering wheel. I don't need to answer my phone or use the cruise control but i wouldn't mind mode/volume buttons for the radio.

That front bumper looks great. Bumper lines look like the BRZ sti concept. Boomerangs look bright, like DRLs now. I like the current horizontal bumper DRLs though. Wonder if the new bumper will be a simple swap onto the current models.

Insides, I'm neutral on. Nice to have an lcd in the instrument cluster but kinda looks out of place, especially that square silver trim inside the circle. How I drive/turn, the steering wheel controls I think would just get in the way, plus I'm usually not touching the head unit and rarely take calls in the car. But airbag shape looks great. Love circle airbag/horn shape, looks like old school car looks.

I can't wait for someone to find a way to get those headlights into our BRZ's and make a DIY

Buck Tooth!

I'm not sure my IC would fit behind that sucked in lower lip. Looks a little odd.

I dont get why they put the screen on that side of the cluster, the speedo is still useless!!!

Comparing to the toyota, the press photo on the toyota shows a premium. The buttons only on one side, so does this mean for a limited you're going to get more functions? More than the current premium and limited

Don't do it. The Series.Blue is one of the most gorgeous looking ones out there, plus the exclusivity of it. Just my two cents.

+1 on the new headlights! Look great! The rest will have to reserve judgment on until more photos are released or until a viewing in person happens.... The front bumper seems like a pretty good refresh and takes many if not all the cues from the STi concept. Too bad the market probably won't sustain a model that looks (and would cost) like the STi concept. I'd sell everything to buy it!

10/10 for Subaru. I'm digging that front end!

dalli · 03-20-2016, 01:50 PM

Looks exactly the same size to me. I went out to the garage and looked again just to be sure.

But so is the water temperature gauge, since it's fake.
