First post in this thread looks like something out of a sequel to TRON: Legacy.


The concept though, that looks badass, I don't know how I missed it. I like the Speedster feel from the rear,...

IMO the 86 rear is hideous, it looks bloated. The ND looks neat and tidy, like a metal skin pulled taut against the bones. I loved it the minute I saw it, great curves, great lines, an overall...

Nice, 2.2 is pretty significant at Laguna. VIR is definitely more of a power track, I think that's why both previous iterations of the BRZ on Primacies still led the MX-5. Hopefully we'll see more...

I've been waiting to see some more track results for the tS, because IMO it's more representative (most people who go to a track are going to ditch the Primacies pretty quickly). Nice to see it...

It sounds like the ND is what you really want. You don't need our permission, man, go for it. :thumbup:




I'd take an 86 over an NC, too. The ND is just so much better. I had recently...

I look forward to the rematch with next year's BRZ tS. :) We'll see how the MPSS does then. I think it won't be a huge margin, but the tS will end up the clear winner.

Yeah, unfortunately the exchange rates pretty much ate all their profit improvements over the last year and then some. Still a profitable company, though, and moving in the right direction.

I agree with this.

Also, to be fair, everyone likes to focus on the highest price. The $34k ND is the Launch Edition RF. It will "sell like hotcakes" because there are only 1000 of them being...

I agree, I don't like the button layout at all. But at least you finally don't have to mess with the touchscreen to skip a track.
