I'm so sorry.

It's cool; looking back on my reply, it might be a tad overly defensive. I think we can call it good :)

Somebody's been drinking the ol' hater-ade...

Yes, this forever.

3.) Subaru Bros

lol, I don't know if I would go THAT far...

Passenger cars and SUVs are always going to have a higher sales volume than sports cars; sports cars (sold as new) are luxury items; so lower volumes are expected. Toyota and Subaru's product planners expected that. The BRZ was never intended to outsell the Forester, which is good, because it will never move units…

You'd be (almost) right *if* they were making the Toyobaru's engine just for the Toyobaru. [I say "almost right" because you're actually dead wrong. Since the BRZ/FR-S was introduced in 2012, the twins have sold 50,231 units in the U.S. alone; conversely, the WRX and STI, put together, have sold 39,806 units in the…

EVERY SUBARU.

(Side note/fun fact: Subaru actually uses FA20 in both the WRX and BRZ; it's just blown in the WRX and doesn't have port injection.)

Oh, totally. And I get it; I had a 2nd-gen Mazdaspeed3. But I posted the BRZ as a reply to the original prompt, which was:

The ST is a phenomenal car—it's a practical option, and I'm really glad that it exists. Congratulations on your child-to-be, and on your beautiful car! :)

haha alright :)

I guess I had the opposite reaction. I was really excited for the ST, but I drove one last year, and doing so made me realize that I usually only carry a single additional passenger in my car at any given time, and that I don't usually put more than a week's worth of groceries or a medium-sized suitcase in the back.

*Ahem.*

Hey, man, that's fair; the market is (currently, at least) big enough for both of us.

Oh my god, what did they do to you? They converted you, didn't they? Those ZF bastards got to you. Motherfuckers. Alright, say it with me:

Carguments aside, that's an incredibly well-executed parody from jalop1991. Well done, sir or madam.

A few years back I sat down with Antony Sheriff, the former managing director of McLaren, to talk about the then-new MP4-12C. I asked him about the lack of a manual option and he told me, "The dual-clutch gearbox is so good if you want to go quickly and drive easily. If you want to drive manual, buy a vintage car.…
