Anyone come across English video reviews yet?

KaliKev 12-07-2011 09:02 PM

Why no video English reviews? It's killing me!

tranzformer 12-15-2011 02:51 PM

Looks like OPTION will have a review in the February 2012 issue (will be released 12/24) as well as a movie report.

Some things just don’t make sense. Why is the food at Outback Steakhouse mostly Cajun-style? Why can’t Jennifer Aniston find true love? And why would Subaru and Toyota, two companies whose fortunes are built on mainstream sedan sales, collaborate on a rear-drive sports car?

The guy in the video seems to be rather displeased with the BRZ. He complains about the engine size and it's ability to overtake other vehicles. He also says the "engine is not great and a bit drony".

The cover of their magazine seems rather negative as well:
http://photos.evo.co.uk/images/front..._518545_13.jpg
"2000 MILES IN THE NEW BRZ - AND WHY IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Against its' rivals on road and track - and facing up to the legend" :mad0260:


Seems to be the most negative review I've seen so far. Hope it's more of his personal opinion than truth.:sigh:
