Did Subaru Kill My Favorite Part of Driving A BRZ?

[Snakesm13]

One of my favorite things about the BRZ when I drive a couple is that from the driver's POV you can see the front fender arches higher than the sloping hood. It is something very few cars have from the driver's seat and something I appreciated. Gives it a Porsche-esque feel.

The redesign looks like it still has a bit of a rise to the fenders from the hood but it looks like it carries to the the lights which might make the view less dramatic from the driver's seat. Does any one else like that feature in the old one or am I alone?

@Snakesm13 My Neon had that. Haha. Your BRZ is no better than a Dodge Neon.

I think it still has it from the pics. Also depends on your seating position lol I do love it on my Cayman though

@snakesm13 The old design is better than the new design, overall.

Hopefully Toyota's version is more handsome...

I loved the "power bulge" on my M3. The SS has a couple (functional!) hood vents that are visible from my driving position.

I do like it when I can see some part of the forward fenders from the driver's seat.
Not sold so far on the redesign, but I'll with hold final judgement till I see one in person.

@poor_sh I took that pic many months ago just for this occasion, obviously

@way2blu time travel! Why didn't you warn us about oppopocalypse!?!

[VincentMalamute]

@snakesm13 Can't you just raise the seat a bit? If that's not a practical option, can't you just be a little taller?

I literally didn't realize I'd moved to page 2, hahaha. Was like, "Why is my comment on a page of its own? Better comment again just in case!"

@way2blu the first gen hood was even more obtuse. You completely forgot there was anything in front of the windscreen...untill you turned on the headlights

I have to do that with my TR7, no way I'm seeing the front corners from the driver seat unless the pop ups are up
