2014 Confirmed BRZ changes - Page 16 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Turbowned · 10-18-2013, 01:25 PM

I'm wondering if maybe these changes won't take effect until later down the production cycle? Seems strange to say they're coming then not have them...

This is more like a 2013.5 BRZ

Does anybody know if any of these changes (Well I guess the only change would be the HU)are applied to the frs also?

Honeslty, I didn't read through the 10 pages. My bad eh

FR-S has a different head-unit anyway.

That's why they could call it the STi version. Throw in the Brembos, nicer wheels, turbo motor and a rear video camera (the radio is set for it already I believe). And I would like a rear wiper please, cause I'm crazy like that. Sell it in the nice orange that special WRX came in and I am breaking out my checkbook.

I think Subaru is sparing and safe with what they do. Which is good. But I'd be surprised if they did it now watch because I did say this they'll do it just to piss me off.

I think 2015 will be interesting in that regard- the new WRX will be out, followed by the STi. I wouldn't be stunned if they did something to the BRZ's at that point as well.

BTW- thanks for the posts here!

So FR-S is getting Monogram Series™

• Frameless Rear-View Mirror
• Center Armrest

What's wrong with Subaru? We need more features or upgrade to BRZ !!!

More like what's not wrong with Subaru? Unlike Scion, they're not in a frenzy to save their dying brand :p

The FR-S has definitely bumped up Scion sales, which they're probably trying to extend by introducing all the limited editions and series.

What's the basin?

I just installed the JDM console and door knee pads, so I'm half way to what SHOULD have at the very least come with the '14s.

In sorry tapatalk I noticed the steering wheel Subaru logo is revised

Gotcha. Yes the gradient blue logo instead of the VERY dark blue (some say black) '13 logo. I'm not sure I like the new logo though. Kind of sticks out a bit too much for my tastes.

DocWalt · 11-05-2013, 08:33 PM

Eh, I test drove a '14 last night and didn't even notice the badge on the wheel. The only thing I really noticed was that there was an AHA button in the nav.
