Does that mean the BRZ will get the same refresh as the 86? Like all the "go fast" parts . Just so we are all clear I'm not talking about exterior (IMO the toyota refresh now kind of looks like the BRZ). I wouldn't mind having hill assist on my car since I still get nervous on hills. |
How is it after all this time people still think of them as different cars? I am truly baffled not being sarcastic or a smartass.They are the same thing with a few minor cosmetic/gizmo changes. The BRZ will have all the same "upgrades" and a slightly different look just like the exFRS

If they do a good job the ratio of BRZ to 86 sales is going to shift dramatically in favour of the former.

Like was said already the split was decided before the first car ever rolled off the line. The number of BRZs world wide is much smaller but not because they don't sell as well but because that was all that were made in the firstplace.

They announce first to get all the hype and press. Subaru will follow up a few months later.
The FR-S did start selling months before the BRZ came out.... I don't expect anything different this time around.

Look back historically and Subaru has always announced their annual upgrades/prices and released their cars way behind Toyota. Probably just a corporate schedule and not to allow Toyota to grab all the press. That different companies have different release schedules so that they are not all vying for attention at once is true though.
