BRZ STI ??!!!

[continuecrushing]

car "blogs" and iphone "blogs" are the worst for speculation...

but on that note, I went to my subaru dealer and pre-ordered one of these.

I wasn't supposed to say anything, but its a turbo-diesel all electric hybrid that runs on propane, turbo powered-twin screw supercharger with AWD.
Also, it comes FWD from factory, with the AWD add-on. I obviously opted for the AWD add on module.

Beauty is in the eye of blah blah blah but as much as I despise speculation without fact I tend to agree with you on the refresh (if any).
It will probably go all rice or all tourer (Genesis style) to try to grab more market share.

Did you get the retractable hard top with the extra rear seat leg room?

Did you opt in for the 4 wheel independent steering? I heard @Koa was a test subject.

Im not gonna lie when I saw the posts last night on Autoblog my mind immediately rushed to the idea of trading in my 6 month old fr-s for one of these when they come out.

The problem with that is that Autoblog uses us for a source, and we don't know a damn thing.


I heard the new BRZ was going to have offensive technology to deal with tailgaters and grandmas who drive in the left lane.

$1.8 million option!

A UK GRx/Harrier is a bad example, since they are all gone.

A circular motion. Quote us, somebody quotes them, somebody quotes them quoting us......

Dived by zero. All this technology and we actually know less then we did before.

Best pic I could get with an 86!
Now if only there were somebody on here that could get a pic with something more up to date.

I heard the next James Bond movie will feature the 17 FR-S. Supposed to be faster than the custom Aston Martin he's driving now.

ETA: That fits with what Mr. Tada told me last week while we were out drinking, that the LFA line will re-start and will be re-badged as the FR-S. The current FR-S will become the Prius, I think is what he said, but I was trying not to barf when he said it. Dude can drink.

Gigantic spoiler should only be on cars that are fast enough to warrant it. I would be shocked and amazed if there were to even be a 10 hp increase.

Not that I plan on changing cars anytime soon (I need to hold on to a car for more than 5 years (for a change)).

The worst part is one of them runs something and then the rest all use it as their source and keep building on it. This goes on until the next best thing that has been "confirmed" is a hover tech, submersible, with a warp engine and time travel abilities. Then the manufacturer announces reality and it turns out there is a shark fin antenna and automatic windshield wipers.
Probably won't even believe official announcements soon since these blogs are making so much crap up.

Oh definitely.

But that reptilian part of my brain couldn't help but go down that path of events.

I couldn't control it! haha.

The good news, is it has the HP to back up the spoler:

Also good news, you won't need to worry about changing cars cause it's a one off.

The bad news? Still no FI
