Yeah it's like computers they will likely find something to upgrade.

I had an 05 WRX and the next year they made it a 2.5L, gave it 4-pot brakes, aluminum suspension bits, etc. Then they made a lot more horsepower in 2008. If you are waiting for th next big thing you'll always be waiting.

I doubt it'll get a turbo but one things for certain, next year will have less issues!

Might as well wait for the 2015 model or better yet - for the next generation.

I don't care if they add power. But if they lower the curb weight and the price is the same then I'll turn green and cause some ruckus in SoA!

"It's easy to add power, it's harder to decrease weight to perform handling"

Mad? I'm hoping they improve a lot in the next few years. I leased mine so that I can upgrade when the time comes.

I look at it this way, I have my first year FRS. When it's paid for I will buy the nest version and this one might actually have 35K on it. So the next Version FRS might even come with the newest Mr Fusion.

Damn right I'd be mad....


I'd be mad that Subaru completely messed up what made this such a good car in the first place!

I don't understand? Your directing me to prove my point?

The 88 Corolla has gotten better ever year after.

The RX8 was the evolution of the RX7 and we still don't know if they will rebuild another RX.

The Sentra SER is still on the road and being produced.

The 280ZX is survived by the 350 and 370 Z's repectively.
