I can believe that because the JDM skirts extend lower than the jack points making it a pain for Subaru service techs to jack up the car when the jack arms hit the side skirts first. Finding shops willing to improvise to service my car has been a challenge.

Am I the only one that wants this car to be discontinued? Then I can sell it for more in the future!

In other news... I should have kept this:

NOTE: I'm only running a front warning flag in that picture in case anyone was wondering. Those aren't my flags in the back.

At least I still have the special edition Luminox watch... *sigh*

The FR-S / BRZ were equally hard to get in the very beginning of production, but I think they have what it takes to succeed for much longer than the FJ. Changing gas prices hit that flying brick pretty hard.

I agree though back on topic, how about them 2015's

Whats the difference if all sudden an anouncement for a factory turbo version? people always upgrade it anyway so if you got the money buy one of the kits that are out now. people are acting like the power is impossible to get when it is out there already. what advantages are there if there was a released turbo version?

A warranty.

I highly doubt that this car will be offered with more power anytime soon. Especially with the ft-1 being green lit.

Warranties are for sissies. Sports cars are not for sissies. Go sell your sports car and buy a Prius, sissy.

Ahh, I'm just kidding...

or am I?

I personally would prefer to buy a car with a factory turbo at the cost of 10-15 hp. It would mean that in concept, the car would be more reliable in the long run. For those who only dd their cars, it just makes more sense. Its a risk to deal with tunes and all the associated things that require them.

I am one of the holdouts for the 2015s to have more power. If they don't, then I'm going to save the money and buy a leftover '14
