I love the way it looks except that radio, that thing is hideous looking. I agree Shawn, the they should be showing a M/T version instead. Maybe they're trying to target the younger female crowd as well?

These tail lights kind of look smoked, or is it just the angle? I like the looks of these.

That's a heck of a price jump from the $25K that Scion has projected. They also have a pretty big typo in that website, "Premium fuel is required for this new turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter horizontally opposed (‘flat’) four-cylinder engine."

I like the fact that there are so many bits and pieces of interior that are of Subaru origin window/door lock switches, cruise control switch stalk, hvac vents, and the steering wheel core looks very similar to the Momo in my wagon

Hawtness either way. Simple design, minimalistic IMO.

I saw that too and wasn't sure what to think of it. That might help justify the big price jump over the Scion/Toyota though.

Its funny you mentioned the window switches, they reminded me of the Z car switches.

There we go. Like those much better than the altezza-ish ones that keep getting pictured.

Like I stated before, I'd be sending the white-altezza-ish units to Tearoffguy to do something like you just pictured above.

Maybe the STI version BRZ will have a turbo?

Exactly what I was thinking. And that will be just fine with me.

When is the last time you can remember two, er....three different manufacturers coming out with any new cars that we, the enthusiast community, got this excited about? Multiple threads on Toybaru and Hyundai.
