Ellesedil Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah, that's a nice looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 it looks alittle odd as a vert. they should have removed the rear seats for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Looks good to me. 911s keep their rear seats as convertibles :shrug: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Nice, but I'll be keeping my S2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higuma Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well, all the Automotive journals are trying hard to whip up a frenzy over this car but we all have to realize that it is still a CONCEPT car that is being introduced at the Geneva Motor Show... It's about as likely that you are going to see this anytime soon as a production car available for purchase on your dealers showroom floor as you will be able to go out and purchase a 350hp Subaru "Advanced Tourer"... That being said - keep your eye open for a FB 1.8 T.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Umm...you realize that Toyota said a long time ago the original car was built to easily make it into a convertible right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyscoodle Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 My prediction is this car will sell like hot cakes as long as they keep an auto transmission in it, unfortunately True. What a sad state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelacy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 True. What a sad state of affairs. So your logic is that it's bad because it's sold as an automatic convertible without any regard for the fact that if Subaru does well it means they can invest into other models and projects? Right; it's so sad. So depressing is the state of mind older generation of enthusiasts seem to have these days. Ever heard of progressive thinking?

Guest Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 So your logic is that it's bad because it's sold as an automatic convertible without any regard for the fact that if Subaru does well it means they can invest into other models and projects? Right; it's so sad. So depressing is the state of mind older generation of enthusiasts seem to have these days. Ever heard of progressive thinking? Whoa? Older generation of enthusiasts? I've read tons of lame excuses why so called enthusiasts choose to drive an auto (wife, traffic, car wasn't on the lot, omg dmg is faastah, etc) but this one takes the cake. Progressive thinking apparently now means the highest order of incompetence and laziness. Probably because the "younger generation" could not lay off their effin' smartphone while driving not to mention rowing their own gears is too much for their feeble muscles and minds. Yes, it's really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 But a "younger generation car enthusiast" is a dying breed altogether. I'd rather have at least some of those, so that their dough on cars with AT can allow manufacturers to keep producing MT cars a bit longer. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I dunno, I'd say a trip to the local community college or university would show that there are still quite a few youths into cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btanzer Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 First they make a rwd ...and now a convertible. What happened to the subaru we've come to know and love... Not sure if sarcasm? If it's a manual top, or a lightweight aluminum hard top that doesnt add much weight (remove the rear seats and you'd lose even more weight) it could make for a very fun miata/s2000 competitor.

StoplightAssassin Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Considering the S2000 hasn't been produced since '09, I doubt they're worried about competing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always surprised. Some of the ricers or sports cars in the parking lot have women stepping out of the driver's seat. I always expect a poser/gangster, lol. Those spoilers and ricer wings, jeez. Half the modified Civics around here have women driving them with loud exhaust notes for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryceBSM Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 ABOMINATION! I hope that the BRZ doesn't get a convertible version. That would put a load on it's driving spirit. +1 Convertibles are much heavier.... kinda contradicts what this car is supposed to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 If it's designed from the outset to be a convertible, it won't gain much weight. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
