Is it possible that Subaru simply is not able to offer a more powerful version than its Toyota/Scion twin? Similar to the 1 BRZ sold for every 10 GT86s agreement?

To add to my post, a big sigh of relief that I do not own the *slow* version of the BRZ (if this sti version is non-turbo in fact) ;-)

As far as this car goes, it's what I expected. Thank god for no FI; I think it ruins what the this car is all about. Instead, the focus is where it should, continuing to improve upon the balance and handling of the car. If you want more powaaa, they Hyundai dealer is around the corner =D. Definitely want the fender trim, dampers, and would like to see if the BBK would clear my STI 17" wheels (looks like the one on the car are 18s).

The interior looks like they changed the seating material like Teo said to more Alcantara, along with the stitching. A bit odd they didn't go the whole nine yards to change all the colored stitching to that black/gray color, as only the steering wheel, ebrake handle, and shift boot are still red stitched.

Perforated seats with an extended lip? F@(#!!! I want those!
I don't know if I'd spend $50k on this, not that I could afford it, but I would at $35k! ![]() |

Hate the gt wing...
If there's enough changes to make the $8,000 price jump worth it, then maybe I'd consider it. Better suspension: springs, struts, bushing, control arms, sway bars etc. Better wheels/tires/brakes: 18" wheels by Enkei/BBS with brembo brakes and slightly wider and stickier tires. Better exterior: Sti lip kit, spoiler, badges, fender garnishes, etc Better interior: Deep buckets with nice materials, push button and dual climate standard and sti badges. Better power: Filter, tuned exhaust and slight head work with better tuning. Enough to get another 20whp from the factory. Less weight: Replace various oem subaru parts with sti pieces that are lighter in weight. That isn't asking much. 70% of what's listed is standard or available on the current brz limited. Not gonna pay an $8,000 premium for some badges, wheels, and exhaust tips....
