Yeah they only changed on the Subaru side.
Its as if Subaru gave Toyota their leftover knobs when Toyota decided to give the 18+ 86 models the GT trims and Subaru switched to the revised knobs for their refresh.

Yeah. Every switch and knob being milled from a solid block of aluminum is neat and all, but I'm not interested in paying for that. It's fair to expect a bit more heft in the Zupra or the LC500, but not the entry-level sports car.

They look fine and work well. Good enough for me.

Does anyone (hopefully an insider) have any idea when a first drive or review embargo for this car is?

The refreshed factory knob that came in the '19 is nice, but I prefer this...

What the intimate details of HVAC control knob speculation isn't good enough?

BRZ is not even sold in China, at least I have never even seen a Subaru dealer in Sichaun province. Nice gearshift knob though

I called a Sydney Subaru dealer yesterday on when the 2022 BRZ will arrive. His best guess is Nov-Dec 2021. When I asked 3months ago, est. was August. In the meantime, there are magazines.

my brother works at a chrysler dealer. of course, it's different than subaru, but he's said more than once, the entire dealership network usually finds out availability of new vehicles from the consumer buyers before chrysler corporate will tell dealers officially when those vehicles will become available.

so take the dealers word like a cute girls phone number that's still missing a few digits. it's a nice start, but nothing to brag about.
