50th Anniversary BRZ??
 
"Subaru readies special editions to mark 50 years in U.S."

Some of you that have expressed wishes in other threads are about to get excited!

Those of you wanting a turbo will still be sorely disappointed, however. :)

It took me reading this article yesterday to realize what you likely meant in a previous remark. I think I know what to expect with this one now. :)

Give us the deets :D

Worth holding off on a tS?

Ok give us some clues for us that arent clued in. Is this a HP performance or just more shiny aesthetics?

I will be genuinely surprised if they actually alter performance. It will probably get some special body bits and maybe a special color/sticker. So basically it MIGHT be wallpaper material, but no reason to run out and buy one. But thats just my two cents.

Is the "new, common color" going to be the Cool Grey Khaki?

This was announced in February. There was nothing new in that article. It's just clickbait.

Announcing that the anniversary models will be revealed at the Chicago Auto Show is new.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz...........................

why? 11-23-2017 09:40 AM

unless they decide to add tons of carbon fiber, i doubt it will be anything too special. We know they won't add power, and I doubt they will give us too much extra when it comes to handling.

Its probably going to be a limited, maybe with performance paclage in a unique color with a 50th anniversary badge...... they're doing it across the lineup so don't expect much.

Yeah, but the turbo motor will be an EJ.....so.... :bonk: Subaru never seems to hit the mark.

The internet has already decided they are building a whole new 2.4 engine which I believe will be labeled the OHYA series. That is what will be in it.
