Vorschlag/AST/Moton Hands On BRZ

[Jayde]

Curious, but wasn't it suppose to come with steering wheel mounted audio controls? Or did they decide to leave that out?

Steering wheel will have no buttons on it

That's what I was thinking too, but I do recall seeing one with them somewhere.

Not a deal breaker though. My current car doesn't have them either.

Good to see the guys at Vorschlag are on this. I've got an AST suspension on the STi that they rebuilt/tweaked for me, and they are the real deal.

Wish I would have known that the car was in Dallas on Saturday.

True that. I was more referring to their price gap between the Limited and a "standard" model. They suspected something like a $2k difference.

There were controls on the steering wheel in the Aha video. And the guy in the video said it was a 2013 BRZ. So who knows? They might still come with controls. But considering that is the ONLY place I've seen wheel controls, I'm not holding my breath.

It sounds like he is sure of the BRZ being 25k and 2k more for the premium which as he stated doesn't sound good to get the premium. I wonder if the FRS base model will be a little cheaper than 25k.

Subaru has said multiple times at it's auto show presentations that the BRZ will be 25K. I'd be shocked if the FR-S wasn't less since it doesn't get HIDs or Nav.

just the naming alone should indicate that the frs will be cheaper. 1. its a scion and 2. the base brz is referred to as premium, which indicates that there should be something lower in class, ie the frs

While I agree that the FRS does come in a lower trim level option in comparison with the BRZ; it's not a lower trim level BRZ, it's just the BRZ's sister car. (A very close sister)

BRZ does have a base model, it's just not coming out in America, the stripped out track version (very similar to the ft86 that's on steelies and doesn't have lsd or painted bumpers in Japan) is going to be available in the UK and will be the "base" model for the BRZ

Edit: I don't really understand all the anger in this thread, if someone wants to leave their car as is instead of "improving" it, then you should let them, you'll totally get better times in your autoX or whatever.

If someone wants to throw away every single piece of the car and replace it as soon as they get it... let them, they paid for it, they should be able to do what they want with it.

There's no need to get upset or tell people they have to leave the thread just because they want a different thing than you. I know the car isn't out yet but there is going to be more than 1 made. You wont have to share yours with everyone else so it will be ok if you have different plans for the car, you can just buy separate cars and do what you want with them.

I was hoping they would measure the trunk to cabin height clearance with the seat down. I'm curious if I can fit my kayak in there, it fits in a 2 door civic. Anyone want to venture a guess based on how tires stacked up in the back look?

You can't satisfy that crowd with reasonableness. It's either fresh Hoosiers of a 'faster' batch or the hottest "street" tire with 80% thread shaved off or it's inadequate. And if it's not on the widest possible wheels with fenders rolled and max allowed spacers installed - again, it's no good. What annoys me - is that the business in the title starts bashing the car/tires even before it's out. Gotta keep customers warmed up and ready to click away on that next purchase.

Not to mention, NOBODY in the general public has driven this car, Vorshlag included.

You mean you weren't invited to that super secret test drive event I went to?
