I know we have all heard it before, but once more?
 
Article stating 2017 FR-S to get more power and styling.

But how many rumors until this becomes a reality? Now of course the article is only talking about 8 hp increase to the crank (intake manifold redesign and improved engine internals which i can only assume will be translated to the other Twins), but also states improved fuel economy.

And let the eternal battle of NA Balance Enthusiasts and the More Powah!!! wanting gear heads begin!

dude man autos are for pussies! Drive a stick like a real man!

raven1231 05-14-2015 09:18 PM

In all seriousness though when the 2018 comes out I think I'll probably get the Turbo model, still on the fence though because the convertible looks good too.

I am holding out for the 4 door so it will be more practical.

Sorry dude! What they are quoting was an blog from Motoring.au which made all the predictions for the 16s. When they didn't happen the other blogs still ran with it and pushed it out to 17.
Doesn't even qualify as rumour and is pure speculative fiction.

As long as it stays AWD for the Subaru version, I'll be happy. Increase in hp to 208 is ok. I was hoping for 210-212hp. 208hp is a little shy, but I will just up the boost level a bit to get it to 210. Heard Subaru might be dropping their CVT in the near future and using Chrysler's new 9 speed auto instead, as its a much better unit.

Last rumor - the WR Blue is being reserved for the WRX line only, starting in 2017MY - with one exception being the upcoming turbo charged CrossTrek model.

WRONG!
They are dropping the blue completely since nobody ever bought a WRX in that colour anyway. Each one will also come equipped with a blond from their Swedish clone program.
Here is an exclusive spy pic of the 2018 WRX and an inside source tells me that the colour will be available for the BRZ.

love the retro look they're going with! When do pre orders start?

drewbot 05-15-2015 10:06 AM

Ok so +8 HP (peak, SAE tesing), but what about the TQ?

... Can we buy more than one at a time?

McFuu 05-15-2015 10:36 AM

All I'm reading in this thread is that a bunch of people are going to go and buy a hypothetical update to the car. Hypothetically I'll be waiting at the junkyard to take these new updates off your cars on the cheap.

In all honesty, I live in NJ, the power this car has is way more than enough. I'm not getting beat by any minivans or v-6 Camrys like everyone thinks. At most I'd want in this car is about 240-250 (S2K) and smooth out the torque dip. Honestly the car will probably feel like more of a rocket with that torque dip removed.

Mr.Impreza 05-15-2015 10:38 AM

What's the point of trading in your car if the 20xx model will get a turbo?

Your better off keeping your current ride and just adding a Turbo Kit in my opinion because you lose more when you trade in or sell a used car.

**Unless you'll have 100,000+km and it's all rusted out.**

The warranty yo! That most people will void adding a boost controller and other shit anyway though...When 250hp is no longer enough

I would just wait until the special @echo419 Hooters version comes out since it will have a clone assortment pack with it.

I think I'll go with the Swedish edition.

You're missing out on some pretty heavy sarcasm and trolling.

I thought that was the exclusive WRB-hair & anime eyes option :D

White64Goat 05-15-2015 07:17 PM

Better mileage..........either they will reduce the rear gear ratio (doubtful) or change the gearing in 6th so you're not turning 3300 at 70mph....
