New Digital Brochure for the BRZ

http://dbrochure.subaru.com/brochure...utm_content=pc

This link was in the box below the video of the two lucky fellas who got to spend the day with the BRZ.

It's a fun read - If mostly known information for those of us still waiting for our cars.



...Ahem, I digress... One notable tidbit of information is that Subaru officially declared that the Cd for the North American Premium model is 0.29, and 0.28 for the Limited. I'm not surprised, but I guess those underbody aero-panels were what took the BRZ to a Cd of 0.27. I wonder how much they cost and how much they weigh? Hmm..

Regardless, I really like the digital brochure idea, and kudos to Subaru for putting the best one I have ever seen online!

Oh yeah: Lightning Red is the best color for the car, everybody else is sadly misguided

Ahh! Page 17 shows where the sub-woofer goes.

Thanks for sharing and I can't agree more with this statement! I am kinda glad that Red seems to be a pretty rare color!

Yea, I figured it was just the same brochure... Good thing someone checked, lol...



Glad the appliqué is clear, so now I know what I have to add to my order. The rear diffuser looks okay, but I don't know.

And great find on that sub.... If you're going for a stock stereo, looks clean...

You can with the back seats down. That's how they intended to store golf clubs to begin with. Sub will not matter.

Nice find! I like the interactive features of it! Oh and Subwoofer! That's something I plan on getting once it becomes available.

Thanks for posting this. Below are the two screens I found interesting.



Nice diagram with dimensions, weight, and Cd:





Finally, a photo showing how the 10" sub will fit back there (note that it's not coming out until the 3rd quarter of 2012):

Besides the fact that RED is the best color ever, this is my first, "no kidding," sports car. How can your first sports car not be red?!

Anyone have any idea if the car is pre-wired for the Sub?

Question: does BRZ come with smoked headlight like the one shown on BRZ exterior view?
