And a new test drivee review:

"Off the chart" they called it... no bad

I like the Scion FR-S front more but the BRZ rear end more... go figure.

I'm digging the blue , the splitter, the spoiler, and perhaps what's underneath the hood. Somehow the Subaru seems more legit as a sports car.

The lower front corners look like they were taken from an R3, and the tongue in the middle taken from the ugly part of the recent-past Mazda3. And the squarish looks seems like it's trying to take one from the GTR's page.

It's not horrible, but I'm hoping it looks better in person.

No hoodscoop probably means no turbo. What a wasted opportunity

There is another thread regarding the specs / output of the car in this very same subforum, so you don't have to guess at the engine specs

There's no 'official' HP yet. If it was the same, why the secrecy?

Yet.

Not saying that I know anything, but it doesn't seem out of the question for them to release the "basic" version and then have an upgraded version at a later date.

looks better to me but they are not really going to leave that mashup of lines at the a pillar like that, are they? i figured that was just prototype garbage that would be fixd. this is still just a render and not an actual pic
