It's usually the first year that they hold back on a lot of options as they want to test the market to see what it will bear. Toyota/Subaru now have a clear idea for projected sales and can determine which upgrades will sustain and increase the projection.
These cars will get better with time, more power and more options are on the way. You can guarantee that.  |
Oddly, sounds like you are agreeing with me even though you don't think I've been around cars long, lol
I actually work in a body shop. Wouldn't make sense to make changes.... I don't count minor changes like rim design, or different color trim.
Lets take the 96 - 00 Civics.... Very minor changes. Tail lamp size, different rims/hub caps, position of reflector in headlamps, and the position of knobs on dash? Only change I considered major is these years was offering of the Si in '99 - 00.
Same goes with the 86 cars. 2013 & 2014 model years will be pretty much same. 2015 will probably be when something noticeable will happen. Maybe legit STi model instead of the early adopters buying STi parts.
