After the S209 I wouldn't put it past them.

So at the end of the day you have a choice. Plastic on the front bumper insert, or black chicken wire. Decide!

My local Toyota dealer looks like a new car dealer. My local Subaru dealer looks like Danny DeVito's lot in the movie Matilda.

I'd much rather deal with Toyota.

"Much better" is a stretch, and it's also a trade. You get slightly more down force at the cost of slightly more drag. Then there's the fact that swan neck spoilers look like ****, which easily pushes it back into "I'll stick with regular mounts" territory for me.

They flex. STI explains their flexible tower bars on their website, saying how it seems counterintuitive to have them flex, but in their rigorous testing they found that some flex is better than no flex.

^I think this new 86/BRZ might be 5x114. The Yaris GR wheels it's sporting are 5x114 in Yaris form, I doubt they would recast the wheel.

Didn’t we determine the spoke shape was ever so slightly different than the Yaris?

Fitting that car with the ****tastic sliding calipers was a bad choice. Had they offered the PP, that would have been the best model of this generation.

PP standard would add cost. Same story for WRX with PP.

I think he meant that particular trim came without the performance package. It did in other countries.

Oh! The Hakone Edition, right? Yeah, that was an odd omission.

Suzuki, Subaru, Daihatsu, Toyota and Mazda Reach Agreement on Joint
Development of Technical Specifications for Next-generation Vehicle
Communications Devices

- Communications systems to be standardized for early provision of safer and more
convenient connected services -

Suzuki Motor Corporation
Subaru Corporation
Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd.
Toyota Motor Corporation
Mazda Motor Corporation

Toyota City, Japan, April 27, 2021***8213;Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki), Subaru Corporation (Subaru), Daihatsu Motor Co. Ltd. (Daihatsu), Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota), and Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda) reached an agreement to jointly develop technical specifications for next-generation vehicle communications devices and to promote the common use of communications systems, by using connected services to link automobiles and society with the aim of creating new appeal, value and services, to be standardized for early provision of safer and more convenient connected services.

Within the field of CASE (connected, autonomous/automated, shared, and electric), which is said to be bringing about major transformations in the automotive industry, rapid advances are being made in the connected domain, in relation to the communications and data aspects of technology and business including cloud services, IoT, big data, and AI. Individual automobile manufacturers are independently developing vehicle communications devices, and even in cases where the same connected services such as remote operation functions are provided, each company is adopting a different approach in proceeding with development and deploying relevant resources.

In response to these circumstances, the companies can provide safer and more convenient connected services to customers as early as possible, by positioning the development of vehicle communications devices, which are basic functions of the connected car, as a cooperative domain; positioning the development of applications and services as an in-house domain; and achieving greater efficiency and accelerating the development of vehicle communications devices. Each company can focus more on the development of applications and services on this common infrastructure through these steps.

At this time, Suzuki, Subaru, Daihatsu, and Mazda, while incorporating their own technologies into the base vehicle communications technologies developed by Toyota, will together build systems for next-generation connected cars with common connection specifications from vehicles to networks and the vehicle communications device center. As a result, by stabilizing the communication quality between vehicles and vehicle communications device center further, it will be possible to provide more convenient connected services to customers, such as clearer calls between customers and operators and faster connection speeds. At the same time, it will be possible to reduce the development burdens of each participating company and simplify system operation and version upgrades that include additional new functions, thereby optimizing resources such as facilities and personnel.


Conceptual Diagram of Connected Service Operation
Suzuki, Subaru, Daihatsu, Toyota, and Mazda will openly consider collaboration with other like-minded partners regarding the joint development agreed on at this time while continuing their efforts to develop services that enrich the lives of people and solve social problems.

So, this is basically Car2Car comunnication service, similar to what VW currently offers in he Golf
