Wanna see the front to be sure, but that side profile is waaaayyyy better than expected based on looking at the renders.

No plans" to bring 2021 Subaru BRZ to Europe Subaru has officially confirmed that the next-gen BRZ sports car will be unveiled on 18 November, but it won't be coming to Europe. A spokesperson told Autocar that the coupé will be a US-only model and that there are "no plans" to launch it in Europe, as is the case with Nissan's similarly positioned new 400Z.

Europe is outlawing gasoline cars as time progresses. I can't blame them.

That's quite sad to learn. I hope the same won't be true for the GR86 version. Guessing here, maybe this has to do with Subaru's fleet emissions in the EU as a small automaker whereas Toyota is a huge automaker and thus does not have to make the same shrewd decision?

Also, it would be surprising if the little FA24 naturally aspirated engine is really that high on the CO2 emission scale but maybe that is the case...?

Even if my above guess is right there is no doubt that EU emission regulations are only getting tighter and that the road to hybrid-electrics and full electrics across an automaker's range and a full transition to all EV ranges is guaranteed.

Edit: This quote from the FT86club thread above also stands out to me as a possible reason for Subaru's decision:

"Subaru UK was very close to leave the market the same way like Mitsubishi. Just imagine that they represent currently something like 0.04% of the car market with similar levels with Alpine. There were same thoughts for other countries like Germany with the sales going very bad. I would say that they are playing now their last card with the e-Boxer models, but BRZ gen 2 is the last thing to think now. Toyota is also busy in sports car segments with the GR Yaris and Supra models. They don't have the same interest for this car anymore. Given that Europe is going to a new lockdown, the sports car segment will be hit even harder."

Headlights like a Cayman. Rear like an RCF. Doesn’t look too bad in those shots. Will have to see it in person.

I’m more curious about the engine specs. Is it going to have a spooly snail or not? Personally I think it’ll be naturally aspirated but hopefully I’m wrong.
