Tempering my excitement for power...

I’m calling it, same motor as before.

Inb4 another gutless motor

spy shots look like the same chassis
should just ship a version from factory with manga decal on the sides

on a serious note, at least Manuel can be had

No guys, it's getting an Atlantic-spec 4A-GE :troll:

Car & Driver was saying it might be the 2.4 turbo motor for 250hp...... but were also expressing fear it could be the NA 2.4 at 217hp

Could they go with 2 trims?
boosted and N/A?

Of course they could. They could do a lot of things. Will they? I doubt it.

Even the massive new forester only has one option of 182hp n/a 2.5. What a joke for a vehicle meant to haul a family camping

Was kind of surprised when Subaru dropped the XT trim on the Forester.

But some how the Outback gets the XT trim.

It's the new 2.4/2.5 or whatever is in the current subbies.

if you want turbo they want you to get a wrx
more profit and no royalty to Toyota
I think a simple light rwd should stay NA they just need to up the torque a bit without the dip

99% of cars don't get used for what they're meant to do though. They putter around in traffic with 1 person in them.

Just get a 400z

It'd be ideal if they were to go that route. But then I dunno what the take rate would be between the 2 trim levels.

Also, from a marketing point of view, it'd make more sense if they only release the NA version first, without any additional commitments to the turbo version. And then in the following year, release the turbo version, or at least announce it. That is kind of what Toyota did with the Supra, except that Toyota released the high spec 3.0L I6 car first, and the turbo 4 later.

Realistically, assuming the 2nd gen BRZ isn't afflicted with the same mid range power dip malaise that the FA20 had, 217 hp with a decent torque curve should prove to be adequate. Of course, nobody wants to be "just adequate".

You’ll piss a lot of people off that way

Kinda like how Toyota upped the Supra's power by 50hp in the 2nd year?EleGiggle

XT's were vastly outsold by the NA models in the USA. Locally, I'd say it's an even split, but Vancouver is its own bubble.

Wonder if it's still a gutless wonder

BRZ makes more power than an Integra Type R.

Oh no you didn’t !

Lol

LOL~ 2400 lbs vs 2800+ lbs

Actually, my guess is that the 2nd gen BRZ is gonna crack 2900 lbs even if it were in NA form.

In B4 everything is the same, new headlamps only, plz pay extra 20,000

same 1/4 mile time and simular lap times.
