I'm liking the BRZ look more too but I really wish they give the car a better infotainment system like the ones found in the Legacy/Outback, which I found to be one of the best ones out there in terms of ease of use. I like my multimedia tech and would really like Starlink 7.0 in the facelifted Burrzzz

Isn't the new one in the pics the same as the one in the Outback?

Similar to the TS its going to have suspension pieces, and brembo brakes, and be in a unique yellow color.
Source!? I do wish I had brembo brakes tho. Maybe I'll swap them!

Its the same one as in the current car. That thing is really slow and gets unintuitive. Its standard in the outback but the upgrade one with the larger screen and navi is worlds better.

Oh yeah, I see now, I didn't realize they updated the head unit at all to this point. And looking back, I see it is different (actual buttons the biggest giveaway).

Hope it's a lighter, brighter yellow than the Release Series 1 school bus shade. A mica or pearlescent yellow would be something special. This would do nicely with black wheels:
