any news of an improved head unit? i've read that the wrx ones are a bit faster and more responsive. also wondering how the suspension is going to be revised, if that is indeed true.

They'll most likely be Ice Silver and Crystal White Pearl. The same colors on the 2015 WRX.

edit: derp. might help if I read the entire thread.

I think the new silver looks great.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one to like the antennae.

Seems like the same head unit, dealer said no performance changes, it's all cosmetic.

My dealer told me the new BRZ STI will come with the GTR engine, but with quad turbos. Each turbo will spool off of 1.5 cylinders. It will have 700 hp, but only 250 ft-lb tq.

So we might be getting the same colors we have now, but in different shades of white and gray? In my opinion, a pretty big letdown for those hoping for a facelift or power upgrades. I was looking forward to seeing more than exhaust tips and an antenna as well.

JDM 86s do not have sat radio. Those sharkfins will not fit on a USDM brz/frs.

Looks like BeatSonic will still be in business then

Really, these "changes" are just a couple of the most common mods that current owners are doing (shark fin and suspension), and can easily be retrofitted to earlier models. To implement more drastic changes that would render the cars of current owners "undesirable" would be a good way to piss off and potentially lose customers, IMO anyway

No, doing some more digging. I think it will be the interior dash out of the BRZ STI ts, rather than the 10 series like I mentioned earlier. Makes the most sense.
