Here are some more live pictures.



Love what they have done with this. This car needed a turbo engine from day one.

I started reading and had the question of a turbo... Then ej20 popped up as NA race motor and I got a little wet.

I'm in the minority that wants to see a good NA motor in this car. Get power output closer to what the s2k will do stock and this could be a very good car.

Not for me. I can get past the lack of turbo, which is easily remedied by the aftermarket. But this just looks like a ploy for hopped up body parts.

I just want the motors to be reliable in the long run, that's all.

I presume the BRZ sportwagon concept from a while back is being bypassed?

My sentiment as well. I'm amazed at the company that is known for turbo charged boxers is not applying that design to their SPORTS car.
