Quadruple exhaust for a 200bhp...now that's funny.

The car overall is overpriced here in North America, the pricing of this special limited edition is rather low compared to the regular one. I just wonder how well they will hold their values here in a few years.
And if Honda released a 200hp RWD coupe, how much do u think it will cost??

Hint: The 1997 Honda Prelude was $26k MSRP

I'll agree with u that it's overpriced. But Honda doesn't sell things cheap either.
I said it is overpriced because I know the FRS (or GT86 in other locations) go for about the same price in locations such as Hong Kong and Australia, where normally the car prices in such locations are doubled. I am not comparing the pricing of Honda coupe to the FRS but the same car in different locations...that you know in North America the FRS is worth more than it really should.

Prices in other geographies are irrelevant, what really matters is how pricing compares to competitive offerings in the same market (assuming, of course, that it's not easy and practical to import cars from other markets).

I won't hate on the color, but on the fact it's still flawed in many ways. Yellow paint won't hide that.

I'm just not a big fan of them period...the numbers look good but overall it leaves me with a 'blah' feeling.

It looks like they took an FR-S, which doesn't look half bad, and then tried as hard as they could to make it look as clunky and down-market as a TC.

I'd much rather have the BRZ Special Edition look over the TRD. The rear end of the TRD just looks like a terrible body kit. front and sides are fine but just too much "look at this body kit" as a whole. The BRZ model is much more of a gracefull OEM aero kit. Should come with at least a front Brembo BBK for that kind of money. They did it on a few 06/07 WRXs a while back.

Interesting decision to stick with 17s on the BRZ. I would have thought they'd use 18s from a WRX or STi. I hope they at least went with 17x8s. Probably just a depressing 17x7.5 though.

Why would the twerpy little BRZ need 18s?! I for one am glad to see the trend that Mazda is setting, 16" 4 lugs FTW! Also, as far as I know, no stock WRX came with 18s. I could be wrong, my 11 had 17s and the 2015 has 17s. STI, yes, WRX, not that I can remember.

I didn't say it needed it. I'd prefer at least a 17x8.
I don't feel it needs it, just thought that they would BLING it out. every manufacturer is going bigger

2013 WRX special editions came with 18s. STis have stock 18s now.
Special BRZ = special 18s was the thought.
