I don't think this is gonna change until your fuel prices match ours. Much respect to you for downsizing in a world of oversizing.

I agree with most of what you say, and i'm not surprised about the fact that your friend sees a lot of these traded in after just a short while.

The situation might be very different in Australia, i don't know. Here, however, there are quite a bit of options for a fun small RWD car.

I'm glad you're enjoying our conversation, but i didn't mean to "destroy" anyone ... nor do i think i did.

Man you'd be depressed coming here lol.

lol, my thoughts exactly.

Yes, it will use a lot less while hauling, but a lot more while unloaded and just driving around. Look at it ...

lol. Maybe i should start importing nissan patrols to the US, huh? I'd have sold it to you had i known you wanted one so badly.

No, you couldn't. This brings me back to my original point, namely that this thing (and thus it's design goals) is a bit silly.

A: In a way, it would. Like a tractor pulling contest.

Even though it would pull, carry, haul, whatever you call it a lot more than that pickup. And it'll do it for over a million miles, no sweat.

Did i say you have to agree?

Things are bigger in murca. You can get 1000 NM trucks here. Wouldn't be an articulated tractor trailer. But it would be a lot bigger than this pickup monster.

Belgium. There's lots and lots around. Sold mine for 1K euros.

Your opinion is just that - an opinion, yet you make it out to sound like fact. As if others aren't telling me how i'm wrong, and they're hoping to change my opinion in doing so.

I've owned a Y60 2.8 diesel. I've put it through a lot, and it always came out fighting. 0-60 in a solid 17 seconds, amazing performance. 500+K kms on the clock, and still going ... "strong". It was very reliable, but also very basic.

My opel speedster (lotus elise S2 with a GM drivetrain) cost me 7.5K euros (28K euros base price for a GT86, more for the BRZ). No, the GT86 doesn't make sense as a sports car ... for the money.

Come on guy ... Your ego is so bruised by my statements that you feel the need to rectify them. Not for the others that i have "offended" (your words), but for your own sake. I just stated my opinion. You're the one who got offended, you did that to yourself. I didn't set out to offend you, you chose to be…

I don't live in the US, and the GT86 actually tops out at 1298 kgs here. The FRS tops out at 1273. The FRS is lighter. Only japan gets the 1190 kg stripper version. Neither of these are light enough to deserve all the praise. I'm sorry. It's heavier than a ten year old corolla.

Second comment within a 10 minute timespan. I must've rustled your jimmies. Don't worry, though. I didn't mean to. It just seems that jimmies seem to rustle themselves quite a bit when someone says something about the BRZ.
