Subies4Life Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 There are rumors going around that the next gen Lexus IS will be based on a stretched BRZ platform. Also rumors that the BRZ is based on a shortend BL platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Why isn't anybody talking about the lousy tires that are on the BRZ/FRS? BMW X1 tires just won't cut it. Subaru needs to get with the program and drop these Audi A6 tires. They ought to replace these awful Mercedes E-Class tires with something better. Seriously, these Lexus GS430 tires are absolute shit. The tires are a cause for complaint by the magazines here - they want stickier tires. Only downside with that is that they won't last as long.

2manysubies Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I love the BRZ, We got the limited, Black on Black, Hadn't tromped it yet, only have 200 Miles on it, feels nice, handles like a go-cart, goes where ever you put it, funny spinning the tires by accident!!LOL, The LGTL rides nicer.

dmanaenk Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 handles like a go-cart, goes where ever you put it, That feeling goes away after 1k miles. You get used to it and start feeling the body roll, etc. Get into an LGT after that and it will feel like a boat. And after that get into an old Caddy - and you'll be genuinely scared, lol. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manysubies Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 So true, I remember we had to rent a car for a funeral in NYC, wasn't about to take the Leg down there, bumps, driving style etc... We got some rubber band CVT Nissan,, mid 30's on highway, trans was disgusting, Got back into the Legacy, WOW, felt like a new car! Besides, just living in the New car bliss for a bit AND I don't have to touch it!. . .for now... Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMER DOWN Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 If this is true, I can foresee a lot of N|A BRZ's for sale on dealer's lot. From massive trade-ins:rolleyes:. This 1 of 2 thing the sales Rep. was talking about 3 month ago. He said, He couldn't keep a BRZ on the lot. I said, So this one is sold, he said nope, just got it in:spin::spin:. 3mos. later, went in for NYSI. Isn't that the same BRZ that I looked at 3mos. ago, Yap, all my WRX & STi customers told him that they heard that Subaru was releasing a force induction BRZ in 2014 & rumors of a convertible in the pipeline. He joke, that he can even give the N|A BRZ away now. I :lol: & offered a even up trade for my 07 roadster. He & said 1\2 price is stealing it, "giving it away" is breaking even. I and told him that you have my # if you changes your mind. Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 There were NA Supras and Turbo Supras, NA RX7s and Turbo RX7. So theoretically it's feasible. That said - these turbo BRZ rumors are circling around since the car started selling and nothing official. I'll believe it when I see it. Also critical - price point. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yep. They've always made 6 cylinder Mustangs and Camaros alongside the V8s, with the V6s being the volume sellers. That dealer is full of it. The initial novelty of the BRZ is wearing off and people won't pay the dealer markups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Should be interesting. A BRZ is on my radar, but I have a feeling that a turbo'd BRZ will be out of my price range (hell, a standard BRZ is slightly out of it already). Maybe this will push the base model down enough in price for me to pick one up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 ^If you want fuel efficiency with your lead foot - I'd stay with N/A I'd imagine the DI t/s turbo 2.0 will be relatively fuel efficient. Look at the new Impreza. It gets pretty good gas mileage even with awd. Considering the BRZ is smaller, lighter, RWD only, and more slippery, I'd think a turbo version would do pretty well by the EPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
