First Drive Review – 2015 Subaru BRZ Series.Blue on Video in Crystal White

The nose feels pointer on this recalibrated suspension with its STI wheels, body kit and underbody aero fascias — but the rear-drive all-star is still a joy to drift. A perfect driving position, steering and shift linkage are delightful as ever, while the blue lather and suede of the seats offer a bit of premium appeal to this 500-unit special edition. 2015 Subaru BRZ Series.Blue   2015 Subaru BRZ Series …

The latest buzz indicates Toyota may be bringing a near-production example of the Supra to the Detroit show next month.
