It looks similar to my STI in that there's that lockout ring under the shift knob that you pull up on in order to get to reverse.The interior is nice and simple. Not cartoonish like the new Camaro.
Q: In order to go reverse, do you need to pull that lever to allow to go "R"everse?
Once I tested a car that the "R" was right next to "1", and you could easily go to "R" by mistake.
I love STi, and I'm going to wait till next Jan. Auto show to see if Subaru plans to bring the concept look for 2017, and then decide what to buy.It looks similar to my STI in that there's that lockout ring under the shift knob that you pull up on in order to get to reverse.
I'm really hoping Subaru will start looking to transition from the EJ to the FA motor that is in the WRX, the STI could use a change after all of these years.I love STi, and I'm going to wait till next Jan.

Question for you: As an STi owner, are you thinking to move to GT350? If yes, why? You can answer that question better than anyone else.
Yesterday morning I was going to the Gym. Parked my car and noticed a beautiful new white STi there and a few guys around it talking to owner. While everyone was enthusiastically looking at the STi, a Red Ferrari 430 enters the parking lot. You can't miss the sound. But to my great surprise, NO ONE even turned around to look at it or pay attention to... :lol: While they were still drooling over the STi...
But this GT350, gives me the same feeling as the STi with more power. But no AWD.
Thanks for your [valuable] reply. You will love a healthy V8 (Had a S/C Z06 700hp) and you find all reasons why you should go to supermarket 3 times a day...I'm really hoping Subaru will start looking to transition from the EJ to the FA motor that is in the WRX, the STI could use a change after all of these years.
I am pretty much already sold on the idea of selling the STI to pick up the GT350. I have always wanted to own a V8 and this one just seems right up my alley. I think I like it so much because it's so different from what everyone else is offering. I love Subaru's because they are different from everyone else in the way they look, sound, and feel (not so much nowadays). The GT350 for whatever reason appeals to me for that same reason. That FPC V8 sounds so different from everyone else, the styling of the new S550 body looks great, very smooth and almost European. I had looked at the E92 M3, CTS-V, and a few other cars but none of the others really did it for me. I'm not a very good writer so it's hard for me to put exactly in words why I like it so much but hopefully that gets the point across, haha. I'm just hoping I get the opportunity to purchase one!
