I'll be honest, the thought has crossed my mind just a little

While the BRZ interests me and I think it will be a great car, I don't think it is a replacement for the S2000. Less power, same weight, top doesn't go down.

^^Same, totally different type of car. My S2000 will be for life. The only way it goes is in a heap pile from an accident. And even then I'd probably start looking for another one!

Only if they accept the S with a salvage title after the engine blows from 2,000,000 miles of awesome driving.

Considering that I haven't owned an S for over a year (traded it for something more practical), if I ever were to look for another fun car, this might top the S in my list just on the basis that I can get one new. But I've also toyed around with the idea of a Miata as well so...

Since I don't have my S anymore, sure why not. lol

What this car brings to the table is what the S lacks, 2+2 with a fixed roof. Stock performance aside, the boxer motor responds well to mods and Subarus are like Hondas, you can mix and match parts among the motors with little work or in some cases, none at all.

They are set to come with a BRZ STi soon. However, looks wise, the S2K still has it beat.

Guess that really depends. I probably will buy a used one in a few years and use it a dd. Only thing that would make me consider trading my S is a 250hp na BRZ STi.

Couldn't care less about the power, etc., but so far I haven't heard about a BRZ where the top comes down.Thus, no. It's on the list for next spousemobile, however.
