I agree . I can say from experience that a bolstered torque curve really changes the car as a daily driver. I can drive below 5k rpm all day. My valve train sends me Christmas cards.

It's definitely a car with some good angles and not so good angles. I think it looks great from these angles from the height of a standing person |

I am sure with some light styling mods it will look exceptional

Feels like it needs 1" larger wheels, they seem a touch small.

Thats actually pretty awesome.
The BRZ one is a little less dramatic. big BRZ logo shows up but doesnt spin. Just sits there while the background spins and eventually transitions to the guages the same way. Im actually a little curious if the car is a bit more refined/quiet than the current twins. everything on the inside appears "thicker" That might push me to wait a bit until the second gen comes out instead of biting the bullet and trying to jump into a current gen. |

Every post about the new gen I’ve seen of yours you keep commenting “how bad it “looks” and you hate it. The front fenders you “hate” are completely functional. The side skirts you “hate” are easily changed. You sound like an ex GF who can’t except the fact that people have moved on. The new car has a better motor with improved HP and Torque curve, and a 50% more rigid chassis. You KNOW that this car will be a far better performer than your car, but simply because it doesn’t “look” good to you, you bash it. Toyota/Subaru both should be applauded that they made this car at all in 2021-22, and especially with improvements in today’s SUV, EV market. Hakone was only made for ONE year, the fact that you say just as many of them are being tracked/raced over the multiple years these cars were offered is nonsense. These are DRIVERS cars, yes more than 50% of them don’t track them, but they are built for DRIVERS. My Girlfriend Christine has a 2019 PP BRZ and I absolutely love driving her car, but the new car is most definitely a step up. We get it, you always talk about how the reveal was “unexciting” blah blah. Only to people like you who prefer “looks” over performance. I’m very proud of the improvements they made on the motor and chassis. There is no doubt this will be a better DRIVERS car. Funny how you have the word Racecar in your sig, as you never RACE your car. Again you don’t show any appreciation that a new gen even exists, especially when it’s going to be a much better performing car. You knock “functional” vents and “looks” while ignoring the MANY improvements. I love the Hakone green color, always have, I was simply stating for the same price the PP BRZ was more worth the same $ TO ME. But again, as someone who doesn’t truly “drive” their car, you wouldn’t understand. I love both generations of the twins immensely, but unlike yourself I truly welcome and appreciate the new car, and don’t knock the “looks” over the far better performance gains , or the fact they are making a 2nd Gen at all. The fact these cars are coming out at all should be applauded, not knocked. You may not “race” your car, but for those of us that do, we can appreciate the chassis/ motor improvements.

That said, if 0-60 really is 1 full second quicker, it's gotta be because there's no 2-3 shift required and nothing to do with PS4 tires vs. Primacies (I mean, it's not like the FA20 is a tire-roasting torque-monster). I can see how people would miss the K20 after the K24 Si came out, and also the F20C after the F22C S2000 came out. But nobody's gonna miss the FA20 when the FA24 comes out... |

Critically the k24 made 170lb/ft vs K20 139lb/ft of torque. As this is what actually moves the car, figured it was worth mentioning.lol The only thing people miss about the k20 anymore is its head on a k24 hybrid. haha
