Subaru has discontinued the base 'Premium' trim of the BRZ due to low sales, leading to a higher starting price of over $37,000 for the remaining trims, making it less affordable for entry-level buyers and marking a significant price increase since its debut.
The Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow, a special edition based on the top-tier tS model, features a vibrant Sunrise Yellow paint inspired by Toyota's Yuzu color, upgraded suspension and brakes, and matching interior accents. It is highly anticipated alongside the upcoming WRX Series.Yellow, with limited units expected to sell quickly due to its striking color and enhancements.
Rumors suggest that the next generation Toyota GR 86 sports coupe, potentially arriving in 2025, could feature a three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a hybrid system producing over 300 horsepower, similar to the GR Yaris and GR Corolla engines. While the report is not confirmed and comes from BestCar in Japan, it raises questions about the future of the Toyota-Subaru partnership, as Toyota potentially using its own engine could mean the end of the collaboration and the Subaru BRZ.
