Thank you.

I think it's a decent looking little car. I think the price is pretty ambitious given the interior quality on the base car, but I'd like to see the inside of a BRZ Limited before I say it's really overpriced.

Performance wise, when I heard "200 HP" I was thinking "Uh, OK, so is it like 2300 lbs?" and when it came out at nearly 2800 I was quite disappointed.

But for crying out loud, the fanboys.

I am so tired of hearing about how this car is perfect and an extra 50 HP would ruin the car. It's as if it's not a "driver's car" unless you can put a brick on the accelerator before you run it through some cones in a ******* parking lot.

The backwards logic is astounding to a point where I just can't even stand to listen to it anymore.

The **** of it is... the car only makes 150 lbft CRANK torque, and loses a whopping 20 lbft in the mid range -- with only 150 tq on tap, before drivetrain losses it cannot afford to plummet further.

This car desperately needs boost... but not in the minds of those whose last car was a 1996 Civic without a muffler -- to them this car is a big breasted wetdream come true

Oh... the humanity. The car is such a fucccccccking disapointment

But, yeah, if they had kept this at MX5 or MR2 weight, it would have been a whole different animal. Instead it's the logical upgrade from a Corolla -- barely

Same here. I just cannot stand those fanboys' claim like it's the purest sports car ever. Give me a break. As they keep saying it's the spiritual successor of AE86. Guess what? AE86 was a freaken Corolla. that's it, and those fanboys made the AE86 like it was Skyline GT-R.
