With more power this car will be the new standard taking over where the S2000 did. Shame on Honda...kudos to Subaru.
I agree except for what's italicized.

R&T reviewed their BRZ this month and they expressed disappointment.

Because it's underpowered and the interior is cheap?

Yea, my boss has a FR-S and while not as good as the BRZ interior-wise, it's excellent at its price point.

Also, I think R&T complained about torque in the S2K yet still pulled a 13.8@101 quarter.

I don't smoke. Have you driven the BRZ? I have...about 20 miles. Also owned an S2k for 3 years. Come back and talk if you have done both, son. If not....there's a cup of STFU in the lounge with your name on it

Sorry I hurt your feelings, little girl. I was drinking a nice steaming cup of STFU when I read your post and saw it was only your fourth post and was gushing about a car that really doesn't need it. So I commented. BTW, STFU tastes really good in the morning with a little steamed milk and sugar. I lke it on ice in the summer, though.

Kinda beats the affordable aspect of the car since I imagine the turbo version would fetch over 30K MSRP as the standard BRZ is just a hair short of that.
