Subaru were the ones who said the schedule had changed. It went from late summer to "Novemberish". Seems small but it's the difference between buying this summer or next summer for me.

Makes sense in the racing environment. Doesn’t makes sense in street driven.

What handling is it decreasing for a street driven car? Turning radius?

You're just being negative for the sake of being negative. With arguments as hollow as that every single sports car has no place on the street, everyone should be driving a CUV at the very least.

Would be dope af tbh. The crosstreks albeit a CUV/SUV, looks not bad if I'm being honest, especially the decked out offroad looking ones.

Thanks @beltax90 for all the pics and vids of the 2nd gen. You should start a “best of beltax90” thread.

Nice walk-around beltax. I've been disappointed with the showing at the Houston Auto Show every time I've been, so of course they'd have something I actually want to see the year I don't go!

think it definitely gives it a more cleaner look like the gr86 design!

I've never been a fan of the GT-R style big tall grill area with greyish bar across the middle. To me, the opposite of clean, too busy and too big. A car with 228hp doesn't need a large grill area, and I'm def not a fan of the current trend of having an enormous grill with half of it blanked off.

I like the 2nd-gen's grill being quite small in vertical dimension. For me, *bigger* grill area doesn't equate with *cleaner*, somewhat the opposite...

maybe we can get this reddit guy to build one like they did for the 1st gen:

Yeah I've always thought so too. Pity they forgot to put a motor in them.
