The BRZ exists and doesn’t sell, there’s no reason to think a more expensive, mid-engine BRZ will be a success.

2500lbs is not possible.

The Miata appeals to a different demographic. There is some overlap, but lots of people would refuse to drive a Miata, but would consider a BRZ. It’s these people that compare the BRZ to the other cars that they’d consider, such as Mustangs. People who would drive a Miata, such as yourself, compare the BRZ to the…

A BRZ with a IS350 engine would have sold me. The current car was exactly like my Celica: supreme handling but completely gutless. That’s the direction I hope they go.

What are you smoking? Three year old ‘Vettes go for mid-40s. $30k gets you an 6 year old one in rough condition or a pristine 2006.

Really? I heard it’s pretty laggy using the manual shifts.

It holds up better than leather and it doesn’t require so much maintenance.

You didn’t correct the power figures. The much lighter atmosphere is going to dramatically reduce power output from these engines. Ballpark, these would produce 1hp on Pluto for every 300hp on Earth, though the turbo engines might produce slightly more power.

He made plenty of sound investments.

This right here. The only thing your ex cars about is that your next girl is uglier than she is.

Next, let Lexus, Lincoln, and Infiniti go. I don’t see what they do for any of the corporations.

Maybe the engineers designed the system to provide you with ample time to pull over and shut the car off.

I disagree about the spare tire.

Yeah, it’s like the difference between the V6 Mustang and the 5.0. Nobody would ever say that the V6 is “almost as much car” as a 5.0.

That’s still a lot of money to go only 1000 miles. I mean, a Prius would go like 3500 miles for the same price.

Learn a skill and capitalize on it. There are dozens of trades out there that are easy to get into and that pay more than $20/hr. Or learn to code and get a job paying more than that at 19.

The solution isn’t to use alumium as a selling point. Just use it and let the results speak for themselves.

The Prelude was literally an Accord coupe.

Non-granola munching hippie here — scored a Prius for $24k OTD. No need for the silly plug-in crap.

Performance wise, the GTI engine is much better than either of those V6s. Reliability-wise, well, it’s a VW.
