You have proven me wrong, good sir! I didn't see them listed on a lot of the different sites I originally read when looking at the HyperBlue, but then again a lot of sites didn't include them when listing the changes on the Series.Blue as well.

Hmmm.. Interesting but I guess I'm going to be "that guy" on this one.

I don't see enough difference in the front bumper (from the current BRZ) to make me gush over it and definitely not to pick it over the Toyota (either bumper), primarily because they didn't get rid of, or minimize, the moustache which is the part I liked least about the BRZ. The fact that Toyota added a "pencil thin moustache" to the '17 is bad enough.

I definitely do not like the new head-unit trim, looks like a bad aftermarket filler plate. I do like the better trim on the right side of the dash panel.

That steering wheel...ugmm....no thanks. It does look better with buttons on both sides, but geez, could they make them any bigger and clunkier!?!

All the other interior items are OK, but nothing exciting.

In the end, as in 2012, I'd pick the Toyota over the Subaru, but unlike 2012, I probably wouldn't pick either. Good thing I probably won't be in the market until MK2 anyway.

Overall, I like these updates. I don't like the fact they ditched the running lights. Overall great update, just not enough for me to trade in my 14.

My mind went straight to that blank looking gauge that doesn't fit with the other two when I read the comment.

Part of my view may be skewed since I have taken off that center dash piece a million times and it looks similar to when it is off.

I'm actually OK with the new tach area but am curious what the other "menus" on the right bubble look like.

This all makes me wonder... what will a 2017+ tS look like? hmmmmm...

Where are you seeing anything about a revised intake? Do you realize just how much room there is behind the bumper cover? There's literally no possible way they would need to extend the cover for an intake. Not even a small chance. Like, you could probably fit a small watermelon.

The tails are cool that's about it. No turbo, no care.

Can confirm. I've done it.

Worth it.

The only BRZ to have come with the JDM style full underbody aero panels as of yet was the Series.Blue. I think the Scion RS 1.0 also had them, but that's pretty much it.

I'm referring to the underbody panels in front of the rear wheels.

Well I am hoping to jump aboard the Hyper Blue registry soon enough. Hopefully I can get one of the last few remaining before they are gone. I am seriously just waiting for my parents to assume my current loan. I am already pre approved I just need the official loan transfer and then I can go get one. I have a current offer for 26,588 for a Hyper Blue. Here's to hoping the car gods pity me haha

Don't miss out bro!

Looks really good! Have not read all 9 pages but it does seem like some shop applying '17 items to '16 car, instead of shipping a full '17 one.
Still loving my series blue more. Will need to see those headlights in person.

irax · 03-21-2016, 06:49 PM

I wonder if I can get this in the Hyper.Blue
