BRZ sounds more like a Honda model to me more than a Subie model. Thanks for posting that up. I was just checking to see it was posted yet.

Agreed ... not the greatest name
Is it pronounced "Breeze" or "Burrz" ?? |

Neat! Zenith?
While I'm not a fan of the names of cars being letters, I do like it when they actually symbolize something! |

Can we get a different name in the US that doesn't advocate drinking and driving? :alien

Looks and sounds like something for Scion crowd, Bros.
I can just see the "Lids" now. I guess they didn't learn from that tacky "brotherhood of STI" ad campaign. Last edited by WRX4US; 08-23-2011 at 11:12 AM. |

screencaps from the teaser site.
Only thing that stands out to me is that the oil filter is on top, so I guess it is probably FB based after all |

BRZ's the abbreviation for "bronze"... third place it is.
"Zenith" is dumb anyway, IMHO. It means it's all downhill from here. |

Makes me think of Brazil
On the other hand, I wonder if Honda will file a lawsuit claiming it's too close to the CR-Z, especially since Subaru probably chose that name to one-up them. Anyways, count me excited about the RWD coupe. Car companies need to deliver quality products and profit to their shareholders, and I'm confident the BRZ will be successful. |

When do we get to wildly and violently speculate why it's a "prologue"?

Any guesses on how difficult it would be to add a turbo to one of these?

Honda's IMA system stinks in anything that's not a Civic. What an insult if Subaru's BRZ was faster, handled better and got better mileage |

That's just a troll thread no info on modding though. I figure most people will just do intake, exhaust, chip and tune similar to a 370z.
