Lots of grown up men wearing strange clothes fondling stuff...

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

Or even drive the thing on the road... dumb-ass marketing .

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

Maybe they should have @thekevinvo start making their videos. At least he knows to splice in B-roll over the talking to keep it interesting.

Don' say that. Others over here believe that the new car sits lower.

Is it just me, or does the video make the car seem like it has pretty atrocious rev-hang?

Dunno what's up in the vid, but if those springs don't actually lower the car, and the wheels are either wider and/or lower offset, that does tend to make stock ride-height cars *look* taller. Also, if it just came down from being jacked up in the air without being rolled some distance, that would make it sit noticeably higher.

In most pics, '22 looks lower to me, and that jibes with Subaru giving a 0.4" shorter height and a lower center of gravity vs. current-gen.

Noticed that too. It goes up really fast though. I hate how so many cars are trying to assist with everything. I’m want the revs to drop as fast as possible. If I want the revs to drop slowly I can do that with my right foot.

Too hard to tell from pictures. Gap on gen 1 looks absolutely massive compared though.

Too hard to decide also on wheel gap using pictures from a pre-production car. We'll know for sure when time is coming closer to the final production model.


Another thing which is not clear to me is if the new BRZ STI car will be based just on a few added parts like springs, wheels, exhaust and aero kit. First generation STI JDM cars had many more changes including thicker rear axle shafts, different suspension (Showa/Bilstein), additional chassis stiffening, harder bushings, pillow ball bushings, different brakes, bucket seats (Recaro). Looks like that the new STI will be lightly tuned.
