Subaru managing director Wallis Dumper has ruled on the BRZ sports coupe: "It will be in New Zealand next year. It's a good car."

That's great news for the NZ-landers, thanks for the source Coyote.

Come on Nick, bring the BRZ to Australia!!

Woot glad to hear that. I cant wait to take one for a test drive.

If NZ gets it and Australia doesn't I'm going to streak down the highway butt naked with FAIL written on my back

Nardi330 12-12-2011 12:56 AM

personally i dont care if we get BRZ or not lol

Slide 12-12-2011 01:08 AM

lol I thought Australia Told NZ what cars they were getting.

DA1 12-12-2011 01:14 AM

We need the BRZ
 
For price Competition we need the BRZ.

Nardi330 12-12-2011 01:43 AM

but i'd hate to see a WR Blue BRZ on the street!! i'm not getting the BRZ but i love the colour!!!

lol

This is a good indication for Subaru Aus surely making the same decision. They would be mad not to import it. The all new stand-alone (break away from Imprezza) WRX/STI is still a few years off and the BRZ would fill that hole nicely.

I agree, the BRZ will help keep the 86 price competitive. Although I think it will be the buying power and market share of Toyota Aus which will ultimately decide the BRZ's price.

Well that's the way I'm leaning.

I'm interested in the engineering, which was done by Subaru. The image and spirit Toyoda talks about is actually a massive detractor for me.

I can see the 86 being big on the drift scene, which despite previously owning an RA28 and spending years instructing at Mt Cotton is an image I don't want to be associated with.

That ... and the vulgar red interior.

Nardi330 12-12-2011 02:31 AM

i just want the godamnit $130 fixed price servicing lolol

i can't stand the black horizontal bar on the BRZ bumper. otherwise i'd probably pick it just for WR Blue.

so i'm going for the 86 in white now. Hachi roku sounds so much cooler than BRZ.....

and i dun mind the red interior as i used to have a Type R.
