It is true; it's already been confirmed at a press conference. Subaru will be cutting short the CY15 model after six months of production to free up manufacturing space for more Outbacks.

Please, stop these posts. This is getting ridiculous that we need FOUR different threads for this type of thing.

It's annoying.

:word:

hahaha YES. MORE.

Instant collectors item. :lol:

I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere so I'm not believing it yet. I can however seeing Subaru drop the BRZ from their lineup though.

this means the 2013 models will become a collector's car and will double or triple the value!

:reposthorse:

lol.. The car would gain value, but think about it.. 10 years down the line, 40 years down the line.. Imagine how expensive it would be just to replace a BRZ/FRS-specific part. Wouldn't be worth driving anymore.

I'm honestly surprised they don't just let it get bigger and fatter as time goes on, until it's a puffy overweight, four door, wagon version of its former self. With AWD.

They could call it... a Forester.

I don't believe you're a real Dr.

Lol.

^ lol

40 year old crickets FML.

Screw that! Going to medical school for 8 years and be in debt! I ain't got no time for that!
Those are the initials of my name but sure is nice to use DR., LOL

To all those who do not wish for this car to continue due to wanting your own to increase in value - consider this: Someone smashes into your car a few years from now and it's totaled. Now you have to spend more money to get a (likely worse) used one off someone if you want the same car. Not cool. Nobody should be wishing for the early demise of this car no matter how selfish you are.

IF* the BRZ was discontinued, being a proper gearhead I would immediately buy a MY 16 WRX and garage my BRZ.

I recently visited a Subaru dealer and asked about a 2014 Premium manual. I was told there were only 16 left in Southern California, 2 at that dealership. Color choices were down to black & silver. Current pricing was below dealer invoice, plus my IMBA discount. Until the 2015 models arrive this is about it, at least for this particular setup.
Also, just because Subaru may drop the BRZ doesn't mean Scion will drop the FR-S, so parts won't be a problem.

Get with @HeubergerMotors; they're a vendor here. If the car exists in the country, they can get it for you.

I don't really care if they do decide to drop the car after one generation. To me a lot of other cars usually were only good with one or two generations anyway so it really makes no difference. That's what makes them legendary.

Not a lot of cars I can think off the top of my head where every generation was really good. Maybe NSX or Miata?

Nevertheless this was a good attempt by Toyota to re-ignite the enthusiast market with a Miata-like formula.

I hope to GOD that this is true. That way, FR-S owners won't need to feel insecure about their purchases anymore because BRZ-envy is tearing our community apart! :bellyroll:

That is true lol

Yeah, 2014 MY inventory is drying up here in New England too. Not much left in choice of colors. Sterling Silver seems to be the one color left on lots now.

It shouldn't be long before the 2015 start coming in.

Its all up in the air. Granted this rumor is stemming from the fact, that Toyota is potentially (all rumors atm) looking to use BMW for the next generation FT-86 car. But its anyones guess.

SUBARU MAY LOSE BRZ?!
 

It's not true. Please stop spreading false rumors like this. Even if Subaru were to discontinue this car after one generation they wouldn't axe it after 3 years. That's financially stupid. And it doesn't take a business degree to know that, especially given that the economies of scale are shared with Toyota.

Back in early 2013, Subaru announced they would axe the WRX.

The current, at the time, WRX was axed in early 2014, bringing on the age of the 4th generation WRX.

AKA Fuck this thread.

It's sad that you thought my response was anything other than blatant sarcasm.

Oh I need not worry....Someone smashed and totaled mine BEFORE the annoucement. :bonk:

Plenty of cars get discontinued...then are resurrected a few years later so everyone goes crazy and has to buy one.

Like the Camaro, Thunderbird....Mustang...

Technically the Impreza WRX was infact discontinued.

It only goes to prove my long belief that Subaru never wanted to make this car and Toyota dragged them kicking and screaming to do so.


The boxer engine is great but it's a shame Subaru can't dissect a Porsche or Cosworth engine and learn how to make a proper NA'd boxer. The relatively weak performance of aftermarket parts and tunes tells me the FA20 must have some shitty flowing heads. I can only imagine if it weren't for Toyota's D4S this thing would be rated at 180hp/130tq. Probably no better than a 20 year old Celica GTS.


I'd like Toyota and Subaru to continue but it seems one or both have too much pride to maintain a professional partnership which is odd for the Japanese. If not, the next Miata, Bimmeryota or Honda will be here soon enough.


Even if Subaru doesn't want the car, it has opened the flood gates for enthusiasts of non fat frozen yogurt lighter weight RWD. For everyone else, there's plenty of fat pig Breyers V8s to pick from already.

maybe it will just like NSX, one gen last like 9 years.

1991 to 2005 is more than 9 years ;)

Meanwhile...

My last 2 coupes were discontinued.

I bought a '95 Tbird... discontinued in 1997.

Bought my current Acura CLS in 2002, discontinued in 2003.

Let's see what happens if I buy a BRZ :eek:

but i could see the BRZ & FRS having anywhere from a 6-10 year life cycle.

Be here now. Be present. Love the one you're with. Why worry about tomorrow when you have today AND an awesome car?

If it wasn't for Toyota Yamaha Denso D-4S this boxer engine would only have about 120hp, probably no better than a 20 year old Civic Si.

I've noticed that Toyota's D-4S engines only have variable valve timing but no electronic lift control (86, IS350, LFA).

I'm thinking maybe like 3rd gen Integra which ran for 7 years.

He meant NA1 and NA2. NA2 actually came out on the 10th year of the NSX. At that time in Japan, Honda had a factory refresh program for the JDM NA1 which would refurbish owners' cars for a price.

It's just some tuner's car. Not likely to be anything official Toyota or Subaru. They already created a circuit version of the GT86 in Germany with even nicer components.

I have found no evidence of Yamaha working on this engine. Have you?
