When the gr86 and new brz were announced, I checked the probationary vehicle database to see if they were eligible to drive as a P plater in Victoria. At the time, it said that both were approved to drive.
With this in mind, I went to a Subaru dealership only to later find out that the brz was now banned, and the gr86 didn't even exist in the database.
Now im just curious as to whether or not this is subject to change (as some cars are constantly being banned and then approved), or if I was just imagining things and they were always banned.
The only notable difference between previous models and the new ones are that older models have a 2.0L engine, and the new ones have a 2.4L which would obviously affect the power to weight ratio.
Thanks
