2014 Changes? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Spencer Strayer · 12-05-2012, 07:12 PM

I am sorry if this is a repeat thread, I used the search and couldnt find what I was looking for. However, back to the point, what changes can we be expecting for next years FRS? Is it worth it to wait and get a 2014 model rather than the current 2013 model? Lastly, when will the 2014 FRS be released?

I hope they offer a different white. I'm not a fan of pearl white. Seems to be the thing to do these days.

It's a current Subaru color, which helped to cut costs. Unless all of Subaru's lineup changes the type of white, don't expect to see a change.

Would be nice to get the CEL\SL\idle issue resolved.

The thing i care about the most is will they improve the interior? People keep on talking about improving the power,specs turbo. But this car looks damn nice from the exterior, they need to make interior does not look cheap.

i've gotten a few compliments on the interior. it really does not look bad, i've seen MUCH worse.

interior will not be updated. the interior is 100% of what they were going for. Buy a subaru if you want to interior with extra gadgets

I get a lot of complements on the interior, and I am coming from an M3, and a lot of my friends drive M's as well. The interior is not bad at all, but I guess if you are used to sitting on dead animal carcasses it makes sense. The only thing I am not a fan of on the interior, is the look of the head unit, but that is easily replaceable and I don't hate it enough to care.

As for the Satin White Pearl paint, Subaru has used it before, then left it for Aspen White, then went back. They could easily go to an Aspen White color next year, but there is no way to really tell the color line ups yet. It is very easy for them to change what paint goes in the sprayers though. From 02-06, Subaru did not offer SWP, in 07 they offered it on the STI and WRX, Then from 08-10 They only offered SWP on the WRX, and in 2011 it became an STI color again. I don't even know if it is a 2013 color for the STI, I think it is, but I haven't looked to confirm that.

There are a few other minor changes, but as Tada said, they are trying to make the majority of the near future additions, backwards compatible and available to early adopters of the car. They want the cars to be "Enjoyed together."

If you need a new car, or want something new, I would just get on board and pick something up. If you are just kind of on the fence about it and not that in love with it yet, then wait.

Thats all I've got for you.

It could be as little as a few changes or it could be as drastic as the change from 04 to 05 STi? I'd say it's just to early to tell.
