2 minutes in. Hiroshi Watahiki. Engineering Division. Says QUOTE:

"We overhauled every aspect of the car in what was the first time we had undertaken such a challenge of this scale in 20 years since the 1st generation Legacy. We have completely redesigned the engine, transmission, platform and upper body– in fact, every aspect of the car."

UNQUOTE.

2:40 : Newly Developed Platform. Keep watching if you'd like?

This was the content that we all gobbled up waiting for the car to come out 6 years ago. Many of us know it inside and out along with all of the other development and teaser videos. This one's called Engineer's Story and is the second best.

Stop inventing stuff.

Toyota needs no help from BMW in the powerplant department.

The current Impreza and BRZ were developed at the same time and from a substantially modified Legacy platform. The rear suspension and subframe are essentially identical between the two and of different origin to that of the Legacy which continues with its own subframe and suspension until next year when Subaru will be building all of its cars on a new multi car platform. That's when we'll find out what the new BRZ will look like, if there is one.

Even with official video evidence you still hold your ground eh? Unbelievable.
