Subaru BRZ concept

[SVT_Power]

I see no difference...

Hard to see, but the RZ are paired spokes vs. RS has evenly spaced spokes

That didn't take long!

I really prefer the piston logos to the fake vents, and the BRZ seems more expensive for no reason.

BRZ Limited (higher trim level): $28,265

FR-S: $24,930

$3,300 difference.  It gets you the following: automatic climate control, HIDs, navigation, bluetooth, alcantara + leather seats, heated seats, heated side mirrors, keyless start, better looking interior trim, better looking exterior, and you don't have to be associated with Scion

But you have to be associated with Lesbaru, so better but not much

Better to be associated with scissorin, as opposed to arm sleeves, radical sports, and being a big ole bag of douche.

The last one is the only one that sounds worth it to me.

Some of us are a bunch of pampered pansies and enjoy creature comforts

Navigation built in with satellite traffic is awesome. That feature alone is worth $1k to me. My phone can do it, but it's not nearly as clean of a solution.

Ohhhh... daddy has a new wallpaper.

I've got an awesome BRZ wallpaper on my work computer.  I'll post it on here tomorrow when I get to work.

[MrH]

Work wallpaper.


Btw, July 16th ETA

[S204STi]

I dig.

My friend Travis, who is sitting next to me, ordered a BRZ but still has no idea when it will be delivered to his dealer. Subaru hasn't said anything yet.

That's awesome MrH.  Definitely jealous of ya.  I've gotten to see 2 of them (FR-S) so far, a silver one driving by, and a black one at the parking lot.  a lot subbier than I had though (wide and not very long), but they look great.  Whenever I come back to the US I plan on test driving one, and test driving the HiPo version to see if any of the purity is lost.

[TBR]

What color did you end-up getting MrH?

[MrH]

Rally blue.  Cliche, but I had to.  It's a Subaru.

[TBR]

I was afraid of that. But, it'll be seriously cool.

Saw one at the Subaru dealership the other day. I don't think I could do something that small again, but props to you. It's an awesome car.

You're just a tab bit late SHO-Time!

Local Subie dealer has a blue one in. Pleasantly surprised to see it priced at $28,000. Also found out that Canada only gets 4 colour choices... WR blue, white, silver and black.

Did you drive it?

You might be sold on this instead of the options in your other thread

Didn't drive it, and if I were to buy new this is at the top of my list. But since I'm looking for a personal toy instead of primary transportation, I'm leaning towards used 911 or Factory Five Cobrah.

Yeah, FFR has a build-your-own configurator on their site that I've been playing with.

So, MrH, has your car arrived? Very interested in your impressions and congrats.

July 16th is the expected delivery date.

I had about a 15 minute test drive already.  Pushed it a bit, but wasn't about to slide it through corners with the stability control off.  It impressed me enough to ditch the miata and order one
