Where did I say "AWD"?

Good to hear this from a pro, I sincerely hope the BRZ looks better than this...

3000? Will be gone in the first 3 months, no doubt. It will still sell very well.

What I was basically saying, was that, whatever that car sells with 200hp, it will sell double if it had a turbo and 300HP.
Right now I'm 50% sold. That same car with Turbo, I'd buy it 100%.

I wonder if the height has anything to do with cars being jacked up an extra inch or so in NA compared to the rest of the world.

The thing I like about this photoshop, is the fact that the person who did it, made it white

Why does it say 2013 here? I noticed this before on some FR-S info it said 2013.

Wasn't this supposed to be released in 2012?

I can't wait to see the real things side by side, then you'll be able to tell the Photoshop definitely. Both cars look good Photoshop in white.

Yeah now that I look again I see it.... Looks like a better tint job hides it better.
I know that design cuts wind noise and whatever... But I still hate it. :p

Looks nice! To be honest it looks like a very good photoshop. If the production car looks like that I would be happy. However, I think Subaru will make the front end more aggressive.
