I understand what you are saying. But the 2014 BRZ limited is already $29,490, so the new model is going to be more than that. Like I stated before, "I estimate", meaning it's an educated guess, because subaru makes both the BRZ and STi, that they may cost the same. That leaves $4,960 for upgrades. Which, like you said, would only pay for a few cosmetic upgrades or minor performance upgrades.

But yeah, hopefully this thing hits the showrooms here by the end of the year. When it does, it'll finally be time for me to buy.

What if they tried to go back to making it more like the first concept, or even the Second concept. This is very exciting to think about.

@ichitaka05 You're good, we know you're the source to go to well I guess the VET. members know

BRZerk · 03-07-2014, 12:59 PM

my guess is basic refresh. revised bumpers, tails, refined interior etc. nothing major.

Tromatic · 03-07-2014, 01:02 PM

What's most important is how many idiots are going to run out and trade their three month old car for the newest shiny.

The engineers are happy they get to play, but somewhere in some marketing office a group of researchers are wondering how much money they can make from the suckers.

I'd bring in the 86 for 2015. People would be lining up for it, with zero cost to Toyota. 17 would see a body refresh, people would line up for it.

This is becoming comical. WTF is wrong with some of the people who buy an FR-S/BRZ?

@ichitaka05 don't worry boss, took care of it, screenshot above. You're good, we know you're the source to go to well I guess the VET. members know

Yeah, the second concept looked pretty good. Although it was a little on the extreme side for me. I don't want it to scream "I'm a racecar/ricecar! Don't mess with me!" The 86/FR-S as it is now strikes a nearly perfect balance of gentleness and aggressiveness in appearance in my opinion.

raven1231 · 03-07-2014, 01:13 PM

alright everyone calm down. Thanks ichitaka05 for the information, I myself for one appreciate it. If others think he is wrong or lying then that is perfectly fine just ignore it, why start conflict for no reason.

FunCon5 · 03-07-2014, 01:16 PM

Ichitaka05: Join date 2009. Most people didn't even know about the cars at that point! I bet he knows what he is talking about.

Ichitaka05, Thank you for the post.

Retro86 · 03-07-2014, 01:17 PM

so does that mean we are expecting a 2nd gen 86?

Started with someone calling it Fake, he couldn't see it because Tada san would have had to friend you or you're an acquaintance of someone he knows IE Moto-san or Ichitaka, Proof was given, it continued and then he gave more proof. It ended there, I don't see the need for moderation.

I meant it more as a joke than anything. However, site mods should never engage in pissing contests of any sort.

Actually, you're right.

I'll fix this entertainment... I mean, posts we had on pointless troll

Zaku · 03-07-2014, 01:25 PM

Maybe we should all stop taking it too lightly and actually have educated discussions. Call me an Old timer because I was around for the concept days, but we were really engaged in educated discussions of the smallest information we are given. It was fun, it was great, and we didn't have to expect all of the threads and post that we all loathe. I.E. Add turbo threads.

Not saying this hasn't happened before, all the older members remember the BRZ is a 4wd it can't be a RWD thread.

The information that Tada san, has posted and Ichitaka has shared should be something celebrated like the old days. If you don't see things this way then that's ok, but really no need to start anything "challenging" when it's actually from a viable source.
