No need to hate on the BRZ/FRS. The loaded price of those cars catch up to our price range, whereas our loaded price range catches up with the Mustang 5.0 range. Z owners saying the BRZ/FRS is weak is like the Mustang 5.0 owners saying our Zs are weak.
I think the cars are really cool, but I wouldn't want to spend more than $20k for one. [boo... inflation] I'd take one over the Miata, and then strip it down. At least the BRZ/FRS is RWD whereas Nissan wants to bring out an FWD competitor. :shakes head: |

I once had someone literally line up next to me for like 4 blocks. Since there was no traffic he just stuck next to me revving his gay little 4banger.. I usually try to stay away from driving dumb.. But boy was i annoyed.. Especially because he couldn't stop staring.. So i had me a good laugh when i left him miles behind in like 2 seconds :) lol |

Not a flyby from the car but an attempt by an FRS salesperson.
On Tuesday I had to meet with a client who works in the back office at a local Scion dealership, so I park up front of the dealership in front of 5 FRS's. Young male salesperson approx 25-28 years old comes walking quickly up to me, first words out of his mouth were, "are you thinking about trading that Z in for one of these", points at the FRS's. I thought that was pretty humouros of him, so I laugh and say "thank you but no, I'm here to see my client who works in the back". Conversation then went like this. Sales person: "did you test drive the FRS before you bought your Z?" Me: "yes I did". Sales person: "and what you'd think about it?" Me: "I liked it, but just felt it was under powered to suit me". Sales person: "well you know, you could just turbo it and it would be faster than your Z". Me: " ahh yes, but then couldn't I turbo the Z as well, and if I did, wouldn't it still be faster than a turboed FRS?" Sales person: hesitates, then says "I'll call your client for you from the back". |

That said. The Z is overpriced by $3grand, so the BRZ... A $20k car |

I personally like the looks of the BRZ/FR-S (but not compared to the FR-S concept). I actually was watching the development of the car for years when it was the ft86 but once they finally released the hp/tq/weight numbers I was turned off and went with the Z. Haven't experienced anyone try to line up next to me yet though lol.

The BRZ is an excellent vehicle. It has it's weaknesses compared to the Z, just as the Z has its weaknesses compared to a Mustang 5.0, which is also an excellent vehicle. That's fine. However, saying the BRZ is a "rear wheel drive corolla" is pure fanboyism, much like the resulting circlejerk. |
