Subaru BRZ
Base Price $26,490-$30,285
Body Type Coupe
Minor Subaru's sublime sports coupe gets a few
changes this year. The 2015 BRZ Series.Blue serves as an STI-lite, with more
aggressive styling but no additional performance. All 2015 BRZs now have a
revised suspension designed to be softer than before, bazooka-sized exhaust
tips out back, and a new shark fin radio antenna. Interior changes are minimal,
with the dashboard now finished in carbon-fiber lookalike trim.
Best Buy Series Blue if you want maximum curb appeal.
