I don't know whether to

and call that rice or if I actually think it looks decent. On a side note, I think Toyobaru will be my custom license plate for my 86.

Im reference to that article: don't see how the FT version could cost near $25,000.

Look at the GTI for instance:

I know they aren't direct competitors but for younger car shoppers, specifically males, the two cars provide what they may be looking for.

The GTI is massively optioned (for a sport compact) with luxury features you might find in BMW/MB/Audi. Even with the soft touch materials and features galore the price starts at just over $23,000.

If we are actually going to see a light weight, stripped down, low power N/A engine AND parts sharing to cut costs then I see no reason for a price over $20,000.

A more reasonable comparison would probably be the RWD Genesis 2.0T. Turbocharged base model for around $23,000 as well.

When is the turbo version supposed to be out?

Well it was confirmed 8 years ago so it should be any day now.

Holy speculative thread resurrection, Batman.

That's one terrible, late 2000s concept rendering. What kind of villain would tease the automotive enthusiast community with exactly what they wanted for 4 years then snatch it all away. It's worse than taking candy from a baby.

We should see it pop up as "Confirmed Next Gen BRZ" on some site ending in .au any minute now.

Am I the only person who thinks it looks like doo-doo compared to what we actually got?

I put a pre-order hold in at my local dealer today for it. Coming late 2018. It is $37,500. I ordered it with optional Harman Kardon audio. It comes standard with Brembos.

Am I the only one who feels AWD is like RWD, but with training wheels?
