Doesnt look like an STI anymore.

Wow, they sure stretched that STi out!

STI stands for Subaru Tecnica International, just their tuner branch. There are Legacy STI, Forester STI, etc etc

The car in the photos is the BRZ, it is a STI tuned/upgraded BRZ.

Well the STI isn't a car... so yes, it still looks like an STI.

Yerp.

Same in the UK. They are utterly **** and unreliable.

But then again, people buy Fords too...

The stigma with Skoda (reliable now) is that they used to be ****ing awful, and are now known to be taxi cars. All the dodgy immigrants have one, whack on a taxi sign, and you can make $$$. Therefore nobody will really want one, even though their TDi is great - and they are owned by VW.

Our taxi is the Lincoln Town Car. These are the ones that are used in my neighborhood and through out the city:

Ok, so it doesn't look like an Impreza STi anymore.

That's because it is a BRZ STI not an Impreza STI. It looks perfectly like a BRZ

The BRZ is a new car that Subaru and Toyota are making together. The Toyota version is called FT-86 or the Scion FR-S in the USA.

I brought my first new Ford a couple of years ago. A Territory, which in Oz is considered a large all wheel drive SUV. After spending more time at the dealer for warranty work than any car I have ever owned I bit the bullet after 11 months and ditched it. Never again will I buy anything that has Fix Or Repair Daily on the hood!

Tell me about it! I do that work

Worst one I've had so far.... a new Taurus that was cleaned all up and put in the showroom. Had 42 kms on it. I got it to check for a transmission leak. Needed output shaft seals

You are right. But when i speak to my friends about an STI the default thought is Impreza. That is where my mind was

I would agree with you, I tend to think Impreza STI when I say STI. Luckily I specified it was a BRZ STI

Yeah, I know. Just had to give you a hard time, Omar.

we go for practicality. in the UK, never needed a car - just used public transport - we lived in the city, so no worries there.

Here in the US, because my wife's family are in bumsville, NY, practically in Canada, with all the lovely lake effect snow and cold temps, reliability is the key. You just cannot, absolutely cannot beat a toyota. 4WD when needed and starts 1st time, every time, even in -30C weather. Does what we need it to do.

Just make sure you can handle that bad boy, the BRZ is RWD not AWD.

That is sweet.

The stance is perfect for that car.

And it has Greddy!

themadman wrote in post #13723069
Pretty sick. Man I want one of those... but I have a major problem. If I wait till the car is release, my Tc will drop in value. However if I sell before it comes out, I will have no car for a while which is unacceptable.

I don't know if I would pick black. I think the car is a bit too tame in appearance. I would pick white or a lighter color to show of what curves it have.

I always liked silver or metallic gray.

I had both the front and rear diff pack in before it was 6 months old, that and a litany of other issues that annoyed the daylights out of me. Even a dealer admitted it was a lemon. You buy a brand new car off the showroom floor it should be trouble free. Both my latest new one and my wifes new one have had zero issues since we picked them up, which is exactly how it should be.
