go ask a 2010 mustang GT owner how he feels... or any GT-R owner... or that one lucky guy that bought a 911 GT3 RS and the next day they announced the GT3 RS 4.0...  |
You're right about the Mustang owners, that was tough. But the GT-R owners have the option of upgrading their car to the newest iteration through Nissan dealerships (at a price) and you conveniently decline to leave the $50,000 difference between the 911 GT3 RS and the 911 GT3 RS 4.0
I don't think it's Toyota's MO to introduce radical changes after a couple of years to a model, however, it is Subaru's. It's shocking over the WRX's life in the US to see how many changes there are in a 10 year span!
Likely we'll see an RS edition pop up in a year, or as the article says; a TRD edition, a luxury edition, etc. Cosmetic stuff and accessories and perhaps an option or two from the GT86 in the FR-S but nothing too drastic. If they offered any performance parts on a version, we'd likely see them as a stand alone purchases as well, I don't think there will be any exclusivity outside of aesthetics. If they do pull a Mustang and offer a completely refreshed body in a year, then a brand new engine the year following.. well..
I would sell the car and walk away from Toyota
But a couple of horses, some paint and wheels here and there won't strain our relationship
