That's a lovely blue on that car. I'm assuming this is the WR blue?

Love the black on the brz

So many photos of twins in Japan. Are these pre-production samples? I didn't realize companies made so many pre-production handmade cars. Could the production line be up and doing test runs?

I agree. The intake tracks look closer to the firewall and the air inlet runner exits the air box on an angle were as the 2.0 has it at 90 degrees.

If they did, that would be a positive thing!

Intake seems to line up with the shock towers about the same.

Stonehorsw · 07-13-2021, 08:43 PM

The angle of the pictures may br tricking the eyes, my reference point was the shock towers also. Best thing is to measure whenever I can see one.

I don’t think it’s feasible for them to move the engine back, the steering was already so close to the back of the motor.

I may be swinging back toward the BRZ now. The front while a bit more weird than the GR86 is more distinct if that makes sense.

WC-BRZ · 07-14-2021, 10:36 PM

Almost looking at August now and I wish individual reviews would start coming out already ��

They are making us wait way too long. I mean, the BRZ was revealed in November 2020 if I'm not mistaken.

I know this is worth exactly NOTHING, but I called one of the local Subaru dealerships today to ask when I could put down a deposit. He thinks it will be next month, I think someone else already said that as well.

I know what you mean, the 86 front looks more classic sports car and less edgy. Maybe Toyota played it a little too safe. There will be updates though for each model year I’m sure. I like both, but would lean towards the BRZ.

Damn Mitsubishi for making those popular. There’s no reason to put those on a car with a smoothly down sloping roof.

I wonder if its like the Sticker effect...each vortex blade adds 2hp..so i see 8 blades.. 2x8 = 16hp bump!
