2016 BRZ in August or 2017 BRZ in November?
After originally telling me that production on the 2017s would be starting in May, and I could get mine in July, my dealer has just received the schedule from Subaru and the 2017's production actually will start in August.
So my choice is as stated in the title. I think the sensible thing to do is wait - but I'm buying a BRZ, how much should "sensible" come into it? One good thing is that I'm in a tropical country, so it's not like I'm going to run out of 'summer' driving conditions. Any opinions? |

Best guess is the delay is to allow for Scion to finish out the model year. After August Toyota rebrands the car for the states. Whatever changes are coming, the motoring press seems to think will be minimal.

I would wait. You're so close to the new model coming out anyways. Maybe they look better? Maybe they do add a slight bump in HP.... who knows!?!?! Wait it out.

wait. if you like the changes on the 2017, you can get the freshest 86 out there. if you don't, you might be able to get a sweet deal on a 2016. win/win.
