Can we get a closer look at the A-pillars? It looks like they just chopped and capped them. I think I would like it a little more without the windscreen.

Don't have one, but yes, that is basically what they did as I recall. I remember thinking at the time that it was a total hack job.

From SOA:
"The good news is after implementing new safety procedures both of our production facilities are up and running – Gunma on May 11th and SIA on May 18th! As previously planned, Gunma will add its second shift after June 19; SIA plans to return approaching pre-COVID production levels on June 1 and will be trimming its summer shut down by a couple of days. SBR is diligently working with its supply chain so production can reach capacity levels by the end of June. We are planning for strong and consistent vehicle allocations the last five months of the year." Planning to be back at full production by end of June...

Seems like a pretty standard plan. Was reading this morning GM is adding 2nd an 3rd shifts to their US truck/SUV plants as early as 6/1. @Tcoat your company seeing orders picking up (assuming you could tell us)?

I don't really remember it causing major issues for people, but I know when I got in the FR-S I was stumped for a few seconds the first time I tried to put it in R. Felt really dumb after I pulled up on the lockout and it popped right over.

How did we survive with 3 speeds in an H pattern without reverse lock? Particularly on the tree.

Fewer gears fewer chances of misshifting.

When I test drove a manual G70 before getting the BRZ, it had reverse to the left of 1st gear, without a lockout - just needed to push left extra hard. I found downshifting from 3rd to 2nd a pain since I kept going to the reverse gate. I guess I could have gotten used to it if I owned the car, but that was super annoying. |
