I'm strongly considering it. Just gotta wait and see the reveal.

The Type RA is coming here too? Looks like other makers like Ford is forcing Subaru's hand.

The final drive installed from the factory is a huge plus for me. After seeing all of the changes to the 17 I went and drove one. I drove a PP this weekend and found the changes to be not quite enough for an upgrade. With the possibility of a TS version here, I'm seriously conaidering it. |

I'd consider selling my HyperBlue for a BRZ tS/ STI Sport or whatever they will call it.
It would need to have significant suspension changes and a nice interior but if I'm honest with myself then i'm pretty much sold on the aero kit, BREMBOS, wing, wheels, and the fact that the 17+ models have some nice changes over the 13-16 model like the steering wheel, bumper, LED lights, and of course the refinements to the engine.

I would consider it, but only if it's a true tS and not another Series.Blue. Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but I wouldn't trade it in for a new one unless it was the full boat and not just a bodykit. |

The 4C and the Cayman are mid-engined cars with front-to-rear weight distribution close to 41:59. On our cars it is quite the opposite, with most of the weight in front. |

The most noticible improvement with the STI model will for sure be steering response. |

I'm currently in the market for a BRZ.. got a '17 PP negotiated down to really good price so I'm just waiting to see what upgrades will come with the STI. I was going to purchase the aero kit and wheels anyways so it might just make more sense to wait. If it isn't worth it I'll buy the PP and do the upgrades myself.

Personally, if you already have a BRZ - I would just make a clone before you take a hit on trade ins and the like. Pretty much anything can be bought and modified for this car.
Subaru realizes the demand for STI tuning or styling - They will likely STI everything so the rarity will disappear over time. Other than a nice real 22B, not much collectibility for Subarus. |

not that the twins do or anything, just giving credit where due -------- ramble: they can keep popping out twins at Gunma for as long as they feel like it while everything else has moved on to the Global Platform but the most business sense is for them to let it die off corresponding with demand and the usual life cycles (Subaru is extraordinarily conservative in business choices, especially over time) no turbos, no BRZ on Global Platform, just a gentle death in ~2021.. Toyota focuses on their FT1/Supra w/ BMW, maybe makes a small sports car again a lot of what makes this chassis is center of gravity of everything, how we're dropped deep between the chassis rails like a proper sports car http://blog.caranddriver.com/subaru-...uture-subarus/ just looking at it you can see that we cant do that on the Global Platform's chassis so the real business sense is then in making the WRX/STi shine again, likely with hybrid powertrain as a half step into electric what price would a boosted BRZ be out the door? a bit more expensive than an STi, really close to $40k.. they know they can't really sell as many as journalists and internet cowboys demand they sold us a platform to do that yourself, cheap, they told us that from the beginning, from before the beginning! boost em yourself boys |
