Thanks for finding this. I liked all of the upgrades, but not enough to trade in my 2014 Limited!

Dat bumper and headlights. I really want to rework my sti concept grill for that bumper now

The facebook post has already been force removed. I wouldn't be surprised if someone, who is looking, finds this post either (only took me 2 seconds).. so if you want to save those images before they get removed, I'd go ahead and do it, too!

Food for thought, loving the bumper, tails, and headlamps... love love love

Love. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

That steering wheel is ugly, but one would hope the pre-facelift wheel could be fitted to MY17+ cars.

Front bumper looks cool, similar to concept coupe.

I don't like the black shiny plastic pieces in the interior. However that aside, the steering wheel is way better than the 86 corolla steering wheel and overall looks better and more tamed. Exterior looks better than the new 86, but still waiting for better pictures.

ADRNLNE · 03-20-2016, 06:36 PM

I hope the steering wheel controls can be retrofit

That wheel reminds me of the current BMW wheels. I like it.

New front bumper and lights look fantastic, might swap my TOM's out for those new rears.

The interior changes aren't as nice (at least in these pictures). I like that they're starting to include some of the nicer trim pieces (gauge hood, knee pads, speaker covers), but the new stereo surround and the CF pieces look cheap (again, at least in these pictures). The steering wheel might be weird, but I'm glad they at least got rid of the perforated pleather and it looks like it might be a nicer leather overall.

Overall it's a great update, some nice pieces for us with 13-16's to pick up for updates if we want without feeling compelled to buy a new car.

Interior shots taken with flash will typically look worse, with fingerprints and glare showing up. I bet that once wiped down under natural light they'll look nicer.

lol funny, because you guys could be talking oh this is how it should be done blah blah but at the end of the day, ALL cars are built in the same Subaru factory in Japan, in Gunma plant!

As for the design, yes, Toyota probably chose their design and that's how they wanted theirs to look like, and it is sad because Toyota/Lexus never makes (designs) a good car like Supra anymore.

I'll have to see how good the OEM headunit and stereo/navigation system works without these horrible pressure sensitive "touch" screen I have in my 2013. With that said.. not sure if I would trade my red usdm TOMs for the new tailights. They do look pretty nice and I would like to see how they get lit in the night as well as turn signals.

Jayde · 03-20-2016, 07:14 PM

Really liking the new front bumper and headlights. Don't know why they kept the analog spedo but made the temp and fuel digital.

Looks great though!

Mim · 03-20-2016, 08:06 PM

They appear to have enlarged the paddles for the 2017. I like that!

Comparing the new wheel to my current MY15 one.

The perforated leather was also ditched. Wonder what that will do to the grip levels?

Still prefer the old wheel as it seems classier. If we had say the WRX wheel it would of looked more refined and classy verses this tacky looking mess.
