Default Sound Familiar?

Just read a review of the new BRZ and it sounded a little familiar. Perhaps like a car we know and love so well that was introduced in 1999 !
From the LA Times Web Auto section: 2013 Subaru BRZ is an honest-to-goodness sports car.

"But remember that the best sports cars of yesterday raised your pulse not with acceleration that compressed expletives out of your lungs but with balance and handling borne out of the car being lightweight and thoughtfully engineered."


"The engine loves to rev high and loud, which is good because you need it to wring out all its power. Your full bowl of torque comes at 6,400 rpm and horsepower at 7,000 rpm. But the BRZ isn't underpowered if you know how and when to use the power you've got."

". . .the BRZ compounds talent and skillful inputs with one of the highest dollar-per-fun ratios in the automotive landscape."

I'm glad to see that the sports car is not dead !

Crazy. Yes, it does sound familiar. I could swear I read a post like this just a minute ago.

You could post a link, you know.

It's funny how they think 7k rpm is high revving.
