watch the revealed powertrain is a revised FA20 with the 217hp that has been thrown around for awhile and not a 2.4L or a turbo motor lol. people gonna lose their shit if that happens lol.
Clearly they are both BRZs. One is the NA 217HP version and the other is the turbo 300HP one that all the sites kept saying was confirmed. They had to raise the hood on the turboed one to clear the components.

Honestly, i have read all the rumours sites that ever exist in earth. Once the actual car revealed, I will make a post in forum and write down all their names so that we can block those sites in our browser.

Mannn, some of them are so shit, they write down all the possibility that no matter what comes up, they can tell they were right. :/

1. Integrated plate mount? Boo.

2. So far I'm digging what they're showing us, though from the three BRZ iterations we have now, this one is kind of the weirdest as far as LED art.

2013-2016 was the first Subaru to ever use the Boomerangs, though they were a little reserved. 2017-2020 gave them a sharp and pronounced look in line with the general shape and motion for the other vehicles in the lineup. This? It's a glow worm with a funky taper or eyelid at the top? I was kind of hoping to see the Thiccerangs from the Levorg begin their move to the next Subaru models, haha.

It'll be really cool to see what the facelift does to the eyes of this thing, though, because it's still a great start.

3. No one wants to talk about that bumper that's perfectly holding itself up against the fender via MAGIC?

better block every single one. which publication has never reported a rumored turbo brz?? interwebz is the cesspool of theorycrafting, conspiracy theories, ufo sightings, fake news, etc..

I'm leaning towards it being a plate. It really is ugly and I hope that isn't the bumper.

I'm just enjoying the feeling of looking forward to something after the shit show this year has been. Even if it's a let down at least I get to feel hope for a short time.

I'm going to go out on a limb...

FA 20 powered
Same platform
Bumpers and lights are the only change

of course same platform, old news...and why you think just bumpers and lights..? everything except roof & a pillars are clearly different...new fender, new doors, new hood, new trunk, new diffuser, side skirts are separate pieces..even rear window shape has changed.



the only worthwhile debate to get hyped up here is the engine..

looks like a bland GM 'design by numbers' build.

if someone told me it was the new cobalt, i wouldn't be surprised.

my early prediction is that sales are going to tank exactly the way scion xb sales went--they originally designed it to japanese specs, sold many, then designed to american focus groups, and the new design all but tanked as time went on.
