Im tracking at Sebring Sunday, have a pair of Advans and hawk pads. I think i paid around $400 for all of it. no one said its cheap but its not like its a Ferrari with ceramic $10000 brakes and Pilot Sports.

You're really emotionally invested in hating this car. Show us on the doll where the BRZ touched you.

I know, I have it in for this turd. It just rubs me the wrong way, what the ads say....trying desperately for you to believe this is the 2nd coming.

My point was out of the box for $29 is a major rip off for this car. Praise the chassis all you want, ive said it before...a FUN handling car is not necessarily a well handling car. Big difference. Whats so "sharp" about the platform? That it gives you confidence to step the tail out at 15mph? If those itty bitty tires were any smaller Id expect to see a friggin horse and carriage pulling that "sharp" platform. Its expensive, the interior is hideous, its gutless in any gear at any RPM, it has no grip whatsover and its so overpriced i find it hard to believe all the dbags who actually bought this marketing ploy.

Thus far the discussion has been about "the twins" ..hence the FR-S post. but if you really want to get into specifics

Subaru BRZ | The New 2014 BRZ Sports Car :rolleyes:

and I think its sharp as the interior is spartan, the exterior looks good (very clean), parts seem cheap and overall I think it will be a nice compact sporty car... maybe a power adder, pads, and some tires (to handle the increased power) is all you need...

Are you so emotionally involved with your 370... the simple idea that this "could" compete (even though its not designed to) offends you? Check that ego sir... its unbecoming of you. oh and stop being such a fanboy...

I am the antonym of a nissan nut hugger. The 370...cool car. Its definitely not the end all, be all of vehicles. Its what I wanted in my price range. IMO a decent bang for your buck, not the greatest. I really want a 2014 911 Turbo S as well as a gold plated shitter, some things just arent in the cards.

Alright, thats fine. I could ALMOST agree IF the OTD was around $21K. Now THAT would be a great, fun, inexpensive DD. Really, though at close to $29 for a BRZ, now with Nissan rebates, its like a grand less than a base Z. Thats unacceptable because they are very different vehicles in different classes.

Unacceptable to you. Considering they're outselling Zs 3 to 1, many people disagree with you.

You should add to that ratio, go drop $30 large on a Twin. They do look adorable in the rear view mirror of my sisters mini van.

Look, can we all just agree to hate the "Twins" so I can move on? :rolleyes:

kenchan 11-01-2013 10:55 AM

i agree that the tomica cars can be cool if $25K otd with some options on it.

it's just over priced for wat you get.
and i hate toyota's to begin with...and subaru isn't my favorite either.
