I assume you are referring to the headlights but I’m more impressed by the sound. It sounds like a completely different engine. The interior sound especially. I’m curious if the interior sound is pumped in with the speakers. Also look how fast it climbs to the rev limiter. I wish I knew what they were saying. Hahaha

It is, but you can turn it off.

Yes that sound is a huge improvement inside and out, so much so that I don't really care if it's artificially augmented. Mind you the external sound here comes courtesy of an optional STI exhaust we probably won't see.

The lawnmower sound is soooo bad I’m cool with fake sound. But even in the outside it sounds way better than the 1st gen. So you don’t think the STI parts will ever surface? I’d for sure buy them if it sounds that good.

If that exhaust is a big improvement over stock I would too, even if I buy a GR86. But that STI exhaust may have problems meeting NA regs if the tips extend further from the rear valence than the stock ones do. NA got its own shorter standard exhaust tips than the ROW for just that reason with the first gen.

Not sure but IIRC the STI parts for the first gen BRZ never made it to NA.... the only current STI accessory available in Canada is a fake CF STI Door Handle Cup Protector lol.

That looks like a ‘flexible draw stiffener’ to me.

now it just sounds like it's a reliable method of separating money from others...

All that drama and they didn't close those horrific wheel gaps?

they needed to keep with the AWD/off roading/soft-roading reputation that Subaru has even though this particular car isnt built that way!
