HOLY FAWK!!!! OMG!! THE DAY HAS COME!!!! EVERYONE HURRY AND TRADE IN YOUR 86's!!!

So what takes the place of the sat nav? So it's only worth 300 bucks whereas a typical sat nav option in Japan is like $3000 bucks. No wonder the one here is a piece of shit.

[funwheeldrive]

I don't think I'm a fan of the exterior, but it seems like a good deal for what you get.

The new starlink system is much better than the old HU. It should be the same one as seen on just about every new subaru.

They got rid of the Nav? I'm actually content with mine even though it's kinda slow at times. . . and doesn't work under a gas station lol

Well, that's certainly interesting. Doesn't seem like much of an upgrade from the Limited. The Series.Blue last year was definitely more worth it than this years.

I'm glad I got mine pre-ordered (the hyper blue that is)

[ShootinPutin]

Yup its official, after a quick google search there were a few links to from well know websites.

Edit: don't listen to me.
Still glad I'm getting hyper blue after reveal of the price.

Very interesting on the HVAC.
Limited no longer gets dual zone fighter pilot toggle switches.
Glad I'm getting the Hyper Blue!
Pricing looks great too.

Wow only a $90 difference in BRZ Premium and a base FRS.
The only difference now seems to be the front bumpers and HID headlights as now both have similar headunits.

Wait....

So the limited will now have the awful 90s looking, circular, temp controls?....

Why would they downgrade so drastically? The premium/base frs, temp gauges are so awful looking.

"The BRZ Limited substitutes a dual-zone automatic climate control for the Premium model’s manual HVAC system"

I think you guys are reading that wrong. There are just pointing out that the Limited (continues to) use the dual-zone.

[dtrop]

I don't know.

I mean, it makes no sense for them to change it.

It reads like they are going with the premium.

It reads, they are substituting the limited brz dual for the premium.
