Surely suspension is enough.
But bestcar have a decent record on the new gen, if not quite 100 percent accurate on the details.
Clearly its a rumor, but I can't see any benefit of delaying a launch of what will be viewed as a twin no matter what they change. I mean, I assume if the journalists fall in love with the BRZ and it gets to release and they will then of course pick up all the early sales - what's the gain for Toyota?
They actually risk losing any connection to awards the BRZ might receive, initial sales drive, and run the risk of journalists NOT liking the changes and driving a narrative of it being the inferior model. That is a big risk to take!

Best Car's record on the new ones only looks good if you only read the one immediately before the car showed up and they had real info. Go back even a few months and it was not even close to reality.
Totaly ridiculous to think the CEO of Toyota waited until the car was ready and then said "oh no no no make it better than the BRZ even if we have to wait"
