Let's hope that sweet blue camo paint (wrap?) makes it as a factory option.
Subiefest 2020 kicked off on October 4 in Costa Mesa, California, this past weekend. Instead of the normal festivities, however, the event was changed into a drive-through affair that aimed to break the world record for the longest Subaru parade.
The event also featured the "largest collection of Impreza 22B STI vehicles in America," heritage vehicles like Colin McRae's WRX, the latest lineup of Subaru performance vehicles, and a "NEVER before seen surprise."
What was that surprise? As it turns out, it was the next-generation BRZ.
Only a select few had the opportunity to view the car, but at least we have this tease, courtesy Subaru's Instagram page:
No specific details have been given out yet about when the next-generation BRZ will be released, besides hinting that it will be sometime in the future.
Subaru is of course encouraging those interested in the reveal to sign up for updates on its website.
What are you hoping for in the new BRZ (and, by extension the next Toyota 86)? Is there anything you hope doesn't make it to production?

This, and maybe a little more "soul" in the power plant as well. And while we're at it, is an inline configuration too much to ask for? Boxers kinda suck from a packaging standpoint.
Not really the targa, but I like this front end treatment.

Yes, please.

What is wrong with the current power plant? I have never driven one, so I don't know.

I mean, there's nothing really wrong with it, aside from the infamous torque dip*. It's reasonably sporting and makes perfectly fine power for what the car is, it just seems to lack any sort of a defining characteristic that makes it really memorable, like the buttery smoothness of a BMW I6, or the rev happyness of a Honda. Nothing that should deter anyone from the car, just picking nits.
*The torque dip is just a noticeable flat spot in the torque curve from roughly 3-4k rpm, which is annoying because that's right where you end up driving much of the time. Supposedly fixed with headers and a tune.
How are there ANY 22Bs in the US?
In reply to Colin Wood :

The flat four engine.
The WRX turbo engine would be a power plant with more soul.
Though that would change the raison d'être of the BRZ as intended by Subaru.
