The oxidation (discoloring) of the plastic lenses isn't so much the material itself aging. It's the reaction between dirt/particles water and the oxygen in the atmosphere taking place on the plastic surface. Which is why just keeping your car clean and keeping wax on the headlamps can go a long way to preventing discoloration.

I only hope that after the new BRZ/86 generation be launch (wherever it looks, wherever the engine HP's, wherever the HU), people stop to bitching about: "too slow", "not good HU", "is ugly" etc, etc and if don't like it, simple: DON'T buy it... Otherwise, eventually the BRZ/86 Twins will be a part of history dead and no more affordable-sport cars will be in the market, other than the SUV/CUV sea of ugly and numb cars... It's ok that don't like things in our cars, for example, I don't like at all the HU, but I love how my 86 drives, therefore I don't care...My two cents.

There are people out there who know what the 86 is all about, and there are people who can actually drive a slow car because...econoboxes exist in the real world. But there will always be people who want the agility of a Lotus, the comfort of a rolls Royce and the performance of a Bugatti Veyron all at a Yaris price point. Becuase somehow they think its possible to have their cake and eat it too. And they will crucify you for suggesting something that is a little bit more towards their preference. (like a Hellcat, Mustang, M3, or something) because they want this particular car to be something its not. |

To be fair, I might complain about how much gen 2 costs then go back and sink $20k into my '13...

The SGP -Subaru Global Platform was engineered in 2016, and is just a stronger, lighter version of the platform used before it. It is easily scalable to use on larger (Ascent) and smaller cars. There are clear indications it's under the new BRZ in the camo car pics...you just need to know where, and what you are looking at.

Standard model coming first...then better model(s) later. Like new WRX later next year, but STI not until a year later...

Many people forget that the Corvette essentially used the same platform from the C5-C7, same with the Mustang since 2005-current (I still can't believe the previous generations actually date back to the original 64 1/2 Mustang). Now all these cars had drastically different exteriors and feel, but they were based on the same platform. If it is a new a platform, here's hoping that a turbo does come. But I doubt it, and at this point I made peace with it, but I don't know if I can make peace with that and then knowing that the driving behaviors can potentially be significantly different, because the twins really offer a driving experience that is unique amongst modern cars. |
