I have a 2011 Camaro SS and I'm not a fan of ricey-looking cars but I've heard a lot of commotion about the Scion FR-S and this BRZ. I have to say if I went on straight looks, I'd pick the FR-S (even though it's concept version is WAY better than the production version will be). I'm sure this car will perform better though. Usually the parts go to Subies in that regard.
@fengrr subaru says that the compression ration and engine compartment wont allow a turbo, but car and driver said they have a hard time believing subaru wont do it... eventually
Subaru better have a WRX STi waiting somewhere for 2012 with a TURBO because since I got my WRX I've been wanting an STi, but we don't want an STi with 100 less BHP we want an STi with 100 more bhp instead...nobody is gonna want an N/A STi unless they have 2 versions the Turbo and the non turbo one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
200 HP may not impress you? You're strapping that Flat-4 engine to a fuckin' 2500 lb/1100 kg and you're telling me that these numbers will not impress you? Sit inside a 1975 Datsun 280ZX then come back and talk.
@Sasori327 yes it is, cause subaru isnt making an STI BRZ, people are taking this "Concept STI BRZ" literal, and already complaining it dosent have a turbo... subaru has even given officail word that there will be an STI for the BRZ they are just "considering it for the future".. im bagging the comments raging that this car wont have turbo when it is first sold... obviously its being made, it gonna be unveiled in two weeks at TAS, i wish they kept this concepts rear tails in production tho :/
It doesn't sit well with me that a Subaru won't be AWD or that the STI won't be turboed. Toyota is just making this once unique company more homogenous.
This car seems like an attempt to sell a Subaru badge... A Golf GTI has 200 hp and I can't see this being any cheaper or faster... and the wing is just ridiculous... it need a turbo system with VTG.
no turbo? theyre probably joking.

No awd and no turbo, it will obviously cheaper than a impreza STI.
They probably want to target those who want a nice looking sport car for under 40K$.
Look a the 240sx silvias, about 140hp no turbo and RWD, and holyfuck they are overpriced by now.

No Turbo = 180 HP
Which means you will spend $38,000 on carbon fiber but someone in a camry will be just as fast.

I don't mind if the base model isn't turbocharged, but the STI really should be!
