Turbo AWD BRZ announced.
 
"Subaru Admits Defeat, Launches All-Wheel-Drive Turbo Diesel Hybrid Convertible BRZ On Monday"

Quote:
Apparently fed up with critics who say that the Subaru BRZ isn't getting the job done for enthusiasts on its own merits, the folks at Fuji Heavy will announce on Monday, April 1 that the next Subaru BRZ will have an all-wheel-drive turbo diesel convertible version in 2015.

There have been a ton of rumors about the next BRZ, so Subaru decided to just confirm all of them. Here's what they say about the car in a press release that came out a few days early:

A spokesman for the company said: “Having just launched the current model to widespread critical acclaim, we are tired of fighting off the constant speculation about what’s “next” and so we are just giving in and delivering all the speculation in one vehicle.”

The new model, which is expected to have a starting price, will however NOT come with a much anticipated rear back-up camera. The spokesman confirmed that after shoehorning two convertible switches (up and down) onto the fascia there just wasn’t room for any more instruments. The AWD Turbo Convertible two-seater Diesel Hybrid BRZ will come in a single color, noseeum black and will be hand produced at Subaru’s Brigadoon facility.
(Early) April Fools

Repeat post

Wouldn't it be funny if it wasn't a joke and that actually did come out. Maybe they posted it on April 1st on purpose so people would think it's actually a joke. xD

Cjymiller 03-30-2013 11:37 PM
April fools is tomorrow...

The359 03-31-2013 12:21 AM
Big up to Subaru for at least having some fun with their fans!

Makes sense. Looking at the JDM BRZ on that link, it looks like the exhaust tips replaced the fog lights. Good joke, bad photoshop!

APRIL FOOLs, lol…

I get it though. Everyone should just chill and appreciate the BRZ/FR-S for what they are.

tennisfreak 03-31-2013 07:34 PM
Would have been better if they did not try to cram the Diesel/hybrid bits in there.

I might have bit.

More making fun of than trying to fool people, IMO.

I like that a major corporation has enough of a sense of humor to publish a legit April fools joke.

Turbowned 04-01-2013 09:59 AM
Just read the "official" news release from SoA. Glad these guys have a sense of humor ;)

SUBARU SURRENDERS AND CONFIRMS AWD TURBO CONVERTIBLE TWO-SEATER DIESEL HYBRID BRZ


- Maker Gives in And Admits Everything


Cherry Hill, N.J., - Bowing to continued media and internet speculation, Subaru of America has confirmed that it will launch an AWD Twin-Turbo Convertible two-seater Diesel Hybrid BRZ for sale in 2015. The new model essentially takes all of the media and internet rumors surrounding the highly successful BRZ sports car and delivers them in one fell swoop.

A spokesman for the company said: “Having just launched the current model to widespread critical acclaim, we are tired of fighting off the constant speculation about what’s “next” and so we are just giving in and delivering all the speculation in one vehicle.”

The new model, which is expected to have a starting price, will however NOT come with a much anticipated rear back-up camera. The spokesman confirmed that after shoehorning two convertible switches (up and down) onto the fascia there just wasn’t room for any more instruments. The AWD Turbo Convertible two-seater Diesel Hybrid BRZ will come in a single color, noseeum black and will be hand produced at Subaru’s Brigadoon facility.

More denials about future BRZ variants can be found at media.subaru.com

Happy April 1.

lol, good job Subaru.

Beyer Subaru 04-01-2013 10:44 AM
My Senior Salesman here just walked in the door, sat down and then screamed "It's coming!". Yes, he seriously fell for it.

I actually had to call out the title word by word - Turbo, AWD, Vert, Two-Seater, Diesel, Hybrid and ask him if he actually thought any one of these things would come to pass. He still wasn't believing me. "Well it says it's coming in 2015." :sigh:
