2016 BRZ

[cab33]

They talk about the Japan only BRZ ts(STI) in the latest Road & Track.

Not sure if you guys care but here is the 2016 BRZ Owner's Manual

2016 Brochure
https://www.subaru.ca/WebPage.aspx?W...ebPageID=16399

No Lapis Blue for Canada still

You may noticed that 2015 brochure has Aozora Edition but 2016 brochure doesn't have any special edition (may be Canada doesn't have the new blue?).

I know there is limited info out there, but Subaru is slacking compared to Scion when it comes to communication. I'm fine with a 2015, the dealer just can't place an order for one at all. I just wish someone from Subaru of America would have let the dealer know that they can't place any new orders. They called me in to place an order for a 2015 not 2016.

Not that the communication from Scion has been stellar either.

I hear Subaru is using slippery-er paint for an increase in performance, virtually eliminating drag with 0-60 times improved by 1.2 seconds for MY16.



The only thing interesting to me so far is the Lapiz Blue. Its purdy...

Guys, Here is the NEW HYPER BLUE BRZ and WRX. actually, this is my favorite color Blue after seeing it on the M3 and Mustang GT. It was called Laguna Blue or Maui Blue, but basically the same color. I bought the white Stain Limited 3 months ago and my Buddy who owns Glanzman Subaru in Pa said, If I really want this color, I can trade mine in Straight up. BUT I would have to see the Car close up. My 3 Sons said, DAD, The white is way Cooler......I think they are right. It does look Sharp in the WRX, NOT SURE ABOUT THE BRZ.............BRZ should of made a Rustic Orange Color or Corvette yellow, BUT I always get White CARS, Classy and Sport looking. Can't go wrong with white !!!

That color is beautiful! Reminds me A LOT of the Volvo Polestar blue and the Yas Marina Blue from BMW.

Sounds like we did not get the same BRZ as Japan.

"...the 2.0-litre boxer 4-banger still develops a “measly” 197 HP and 200 Nm of torque."

While I agree that this car could do with another 50 or so HP, I think people need to realize that this wasn't meant to be a top fuel drag car. I'm getting a little tired of everyone banging on about how "underpowered" the car is. [/rant]
