1st Gen < 2nd Gen

I'm hoping for the improvements to be on the next model ( Better wheels, Maybe brake upgrade, A little lower sport tuned suspension and last but not least, A little more Umphh) A 240-60hp Turbo version would be a nice touch!

No ​I obviously can't read. I've survived 22 years without the ability to read.



And according to Subaru's marketing manager, there wont be turbo models because "there isnt enough room for an intercooler at the front of the bay". My question is, since when does Subaru use front mounted intercoolers from factory? The answer is they don't.

Shit, there is already a factory turbo variant of the BRZ's engine(FA20), and it utilizes a TMIC as all other subarus do.

They have been working on a confirmed "faster" model, so like I said previously, we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm not necessarily talking about you, but Jesus Christ, it's been beaten to death about it needing more power and what not, yet 90% of the people who complain don't even own, or couldn't buy one in the first place.

I'm going to guess a top mount wouldn't be ideal as a hood scoop would look hideous and break up the lines on the car and make it look like shit.

Dont get so butt hurt over peoples opinions and suggestions lol

We are just saying what would be nice, I know at least what they said cause, Like you, Everyone can read and understand that a million and one articles already confirmed that. But they dont ACTUALLY know.

And yes, This is a car I'd highly consider getting in a couple years for sure. But not this Gen.
