Body lines looking great

Looking forward to seeing these in person, and getting to drive one!

Also is anyone else liking the the white GR86 more than expected, I usually don't like white cars and thought it looks rather good.

The hate is strong with this one...


Lines are, to me, cleaner and more sculpted than 1st gen. I like it, a lot

Can the definition of "soon" be stretched to 6+ months? Last I heard November was the optimistic delivery date.

It's an opinion thing. I still think the first-gen looks better for its simplicity.

I certainly wouldn't call the body lines a "hack job," though.

You would usually be right with that assertion but in this case, he's just the local cry baby.

I have no idea how you can call all the protrusions on this design "cleaner", but then I've never really understood the use of that term anyway.

I expect them to sell many.

Or "more sculpted" the car doesn't flow from the front to the rear at all. Sculptures are one continuous design, not mixes, mashups and random lines that don't look cohesive lol

Anybody know what this black box does? There's two of them mounted behind the rear bumper. Has "Continental" branding on it.

TPMS receivers, would be my guess.

Might be blind spot warning radars, although these tend to be angled more to the side than the back.

^ A better guess than mine.

"Flow" is subjective. "More sculpted" = front fenders that are a smooth continuously variable curves, rather than flat in front of the windshield/cowl, then with constant-radius-curvature "bumps" on top of constant revolved conic flare shapes of current-gen.

Subjective, but *to me* the functional vents behind the front fenders are well integrated and look better than the do-nothing plastic thingies at the upper aft corners of the current-gen front fenders. The "spats" behind the doors look fine to me and to my eye the "flow" is nice from fender vents to the spats, which also complement the upper rear flare/bulge in the rear fenders.

A lot of this is subjective of course. I like it. And I hate most things...

Not to get bogged down in details, but these boxes are SRR or Short Range Radar sensors tied to the Driver Assistance Package Subaru will most likely sell strong on for Safety Features. Ohio Enthusiast is correct that the orientation would be for blind spot or lane departure if it was more angled but all dependent on the programming.

Continental Automotive makes a good amount of the ADAS market for these sensors and Subaru has an existing contract for these sensors.
