agreed, but I'm not really that impressed with its performance.

If I have to have a Subie not made in Lafayette, IN, I'll stick with a Forester. The one you pictured is nice looking though.

Thanks guys. First one to hit the pavement in the great plains area so figured I should share. Still rather have a legacy gt or a good ol fashioned Rex/sti

actually i love the idea. its just like the S2000 and miata. its made to be a weekend warrior track car. Not tons of power but great handling.

Kinda what I was thinking.

Word, brother. Tell him congratulations!

Yes, that was kind of the point

see Rage's comment

Believe me. I'm well-aware of why the car was built. I just think it would be a more capable and all-around as* kicker if it had the AWD. It would also appeal to more of the Subaru community.

The formula being used has been done a thousand times and the BRZyotaScion is no-doubt a very nice bang-for-the-buck little ride.

It'll give the TC guys something to graduate to as they enter Junior College and desire a car the ladies they are trying to impress don't already drive.

I am just waiting to see a BRZ STI swap and see that thing turn into the next supra type beast.

The STI version is coming

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 4:18 pm

Sti version is in the works. Silly Subie is trying to stay hush hush but at this time official word is no turbo......time will tell gents, time will tell. However as I work as a Subie sales rep as soon as I get some info about it I will let you guys know

will that engine fit in my neon?......lol

grambo · Post by **grambo** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 4:58 pm

296 hp available at 2000rpm's...

It'll be interesting to see what an STI version with supporting mods will do. I have no power til 3500-4000 or so. The launch on these should be insane with typical Subaru torque output and AWD.

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:09 pm

Absolutely correct ^

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:26 pm

i am with mox on this one.... but overall a nice looking car...

just wondering what was sticker on it????

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:33 pm

This one was a limited with all the bells and whistles including leather and navigation.....little over 27k sticker. No negotiation on it as it was customer ordered in

ragek23 · Post by **ragek23** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:25 pm

wow now i really feel my friend got ripped. he just paid 24K out the door for a 2.4i na impreza out the door yesterday. I told him dude why not the brz couldn't be that much more.

hmm now the only question is... whats a better dd the BRZ STI or the EVO hmmm

.

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:37 pm

I sell subies and love em but, I would recommend the evo. Also......2.4 imprezza!?!?

ragek23 · Post by **ragek23** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:39 pm

2.5i legacy sorry, but i thought the price was really high.

D-Railed_Neon · Post by **D-Railed_Neon** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 12:10 am

Nah, legacy goes for 23 sticker at base. 25.5k in premium, and about 27.8k for 2.5 limited. Now if got a 2.5gt with turbo......expect somewhere around 31k sticker. It was for a 2012, right?

ragek23 · Post by **ragek23** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 7:10 am

yeah i had to take a second look at the car. he told me it was an impreza but from the picture it is clearly a 2012 legacy. He did tell me " its nothing special just a 2.5i". So I am guesing he bought a base legacy.

$24k for a base Legacy? Couple grand more and he could have bought a 2012 WRX.

answer to the question is definitely the Evo.

from your link above.

A big motivator for Subaru moving the WRX and STI to the smaller 2.0-liter turbo is, of course, fuel economy—the current 2.5-liter is thirsty. It goes without saying that more power and better efficiency for the next WRX and STI are good things. Now all we have to do is wait for the duo to arrive.

I think they are seriously discounting the Fuel Economy the EJ25 gets in the WRX. I typically get 26-28 mpg on the highway in the WRX. Not bad for a 265hp; 0-60 in under 5 seconds type of car. Smaller displacement doesn't always equal fuel economy. My Evo averaged 18-21mpg on the highway and the 4B11 has a half liter less displacement.

Thats a cool little ride!

MOX, did you have a five speed evo? My MR generally gets 24mpg highway.
