The rear deck looks too flat to me. Mind you, I've previously mentioned that that's how I feel about the tops of the rear fenders, right? So in the vert I see that flat horizontal line being extended straight across from rear fender to rear fender, which amplifies the effect. If the tops of the rear fenders were more rounded I think it'd look good.

Looks like a 4 seater mr-2

that wrx sounds more fun than the BRZ... lol

wtf are they doing over there? do they want to sell the BRZ or do they want to kill their own offspring at an early age?

it's like a dumb fish eating its own eggs.

Next gen sti apparently getting the 1.6 to allow Subaru back into wrc. How do you guys think they'll play this new lineup?

I don't think there will be much cannibalization between the BRZ and WRX.

hummm... i think demographic wise they are both in the same arena while one might be RWD subi's are known for AWD. i think AWD>RWD for subaru.

scion will probably do fairly well until kids start crashing them into poles and trees... driving up insurance rates.

cool.

while 200hp is okay for dd, 250hp+ would be

When you consider the overall package of the car, it looks to be an RX-8 with better MPG.

So when do we expect a release date for the turbo version?
