I more feel for those that do not want to mod or are constrained due to leasing so would want more bang out of the factory package.

Hmm can't tell clearly but does the car the black car seem like it's lowered because it has a different damper or is that more photo shop

Looks like the 2017 is using the same head unit as my 2016. Yay me!

Just noticed something in that interior photo..
Look at the bonnet edge there. New orange colour for Subaru? You can even see the orange reflected onto the window and side mirror housing |

The color in that photo is red. Just lighting and photoshop make it appear orange. June 12 is the reveal of the series.yellow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

None of these cars had worthwhile increases(20+%) and some of the ones you mentioned had a alternate model(SC MR2 and N/A still existed the same time)(MazdaSpeed and the base existed together). The BRZ/86 doesn't have a alternate model and Toyota and Subaru has said over and over no F/I. |

This is the 2016 unit: http://www.autoblog.com/2015/08/27/2...#slide-3597910
So they may not be identical models, the new one looks much glossier, but the button layout is the same. Probably the next model in the same series. |

Well, sorry for the late to the party impressions but in short, for those TLDR: I am very satisfied with my Series.HyperBlue purchase and am very thankful that I am left with no real desires from this refresh.
Sure, Brembos are nice but I think I'll still opt for the STI retrofit. The LCD gauge info gauge in the cluster is absolutely awesome in theory. But unfortunately, I hate how it doesn't fit to me. I would have preferred them to keep the info all in the one circular right gauge. Rather than having it cut into both. I do appreciate the the new headlights having a more aggressive DRL look as opposed to the previous fish hook but I still think I prefer the fish hook look with an Always On Module. Not a fan of the new wing :/ or new tails. Happy to see the rear valence doesn't have the changes the 86 has. Meh on the new wheels. Not truly a fan of either set of wheels (old or new) Lastly, I will try to avoid starting a keyboard battle but I am so fatigued from constantly seeing the "where's the power" "OMG only 5 HP" "Where's the FI options". How many on this forum are professional drag racers? Or let me even ask, how many of you even open up to redline through every single gear all the way through your powerband? Don't get me wrong I am all for having more options. If they offered a more powerful option I would be happy for those who "need" it. If you really bought this car and are underwhelmed in the power department do yourself a favor and either go get another vehicle where having holding a pedal down pays dividends or invest in an FI kit. I don't see what you need more power for. Anytime I have ever needed to pick up speed to pass those minivans that often get brought up on these forums I drop the appropriate amount of gears and I am firmly ahead of them. This car is so special for the surgical precision it has in steering, cornering, and overall handling. It's a car built with a clear dedication to the finesse of driving rather than rough "let's stuff the biggest block in this open space that we can" that is so common in other cars that produce to power that so many say they "need". P.S. for those interested in the head unit I hate to disappoint you but it's the same as in the 2016 and it is an absolutely garbage head unit. I am currently looking into going backwards and getting the 13-15 FR-S or BRZ head units. I can fill anyone in on the numerous amounts of problems with this head unit. Feel free to ask.
