Get me 230hp with no turbo on that motor. I'll be impressed.

S2000's are fun cars in the twisties...but they are gutless until 6000rpms and slower than my stage II wagon until about 110mph.

S2000s are a dime a dozen and miatas are just plain ugly (Sorry). I am looking forward to having a cheap(ish) track car to run when I am done University. Quote:
I don't know about you guys but I am already dreaming of owning a STI version (in yellow as can be seen in the BRZ phoshop thread ) with 260-280whp and full suspension for a track/autox monster |

They should exaggerate the fender flares more (for the Subi version), add a turbo, wider tires, maybe another 2 doors ( ), and some STi parts and we've got a deal.
I, for one, like the new styling. Subaru has been disappointing me in the style department lately. The front end finally looks mildly pissed off... which is required in a sports car IMO. I also like the fact that all models are getting a 6-speed, and the automatic (which I'll never buy again) has finally caught up with the times with a 6-speed and paddle shifters. The gauge cluster needs some STi love, and I definitely miss the tell tale hood scoop that sings Subaru in my head. |

Though, you have respectable comments on style. But, a lot of people love the new styling. That's half the reason I traded in my 05. I have a firm belief that 50% of all styling criticts are not in the market for a new car anyway. Last edited by Zach9734; 12-09-2011 at 11:25 AM. |

I love this car! Except the lack of a turbo at this point. But I think it looks great.

The future of the BRZ from Box This standpoint.
First year cars will be decent, fun, but most of us want a turbo so 60% of potential buyers will wait for the 1.6 turbo BRZ STI. The other 40% will impulsively buy the NA version and regret it a year or two from now. Second year will likely include the option for a turbo model once the first years vehicles have been road tested, and gone through the rigors of every day public driving them under less than ideal conditions. The turbo 1.6L was designed to fit into this car, hence why the turbocharger is mounted at the bottom of the engine to keep the low center of gravity, and not require any more space in the engine bay other than for a few simple intercooler pipes. Third year cars will have exterior changes including but not limited to; eliminating the (ugly, useless) front fender inserts, the use of NON CHROME tail lights (what are we, 16?,) and wider front and rear fenders to accommodate wider wheels + tires for the extra 65 hp you will likely get with the forced induction. Think 265hp / 245 lb-ft or so should be reasonable to expect from a direct injection turbo even in micro 1.6l form. Intercoolers will probably be front mount units since Subaru FINALLY got it right by facing the intake FORWARDS towards incoming wind, and not to the rear of the engine bay where all the heat collects. Am I going to buy one? Yes, as soon as the turbo model is out for my2014. |

The biggest thing people need to realize is that Subaru as whole appeals to more than one niche of people. Look at their commercials, "Share the love Event" environmentally conscious people are not STI drivers. I think the introduction of this car is awesome, a new niche for Subaru.
1. Environmentally Friendly Folks 2. Rally Drivers\AWD drivers 3. People that just want a safe good car/family car 4. Rear wheel drive enthusiasts They're smart for branching out providing more options for people and people need to keep in mind that the worst thing they can do is take this car and clone it into another STI. They have that car for a reason and now this one for a different reason. |

You really need to put yourself in the shoes of the automakers, its not easy introducing new vehicles in the market. Thie vehicle is all about driving dynamics.. something the american customer for the most part doesn't understand, we Americans always want HP no matter what, I think many domestics show a good example of that, and Honda shows the puriest example of vise versa. Over the years it has been starting to change I do admit. Also, this vehicle needs to be fuel efficient and low cost... once there is enough interest their will be higher power models guaranteed.... but they can't be released first.

Turbos are fun and all. I miss throwing a cars ass out and spinning the rear tires when I wanted. My wrx is fun.... But, this car is what will save me from buying an S2000 |
