When I went to the Scion dealer to test drive the car, I thought I'd test the guy's knowledge a bit by asking some basic questions. I asked, "Does this thing have HID headlights?"
He looks at the lights, mumbles a bit, walks around the car, and says, "Ah, yes! Yes, it does. It has LED tail lights, so it has to have HID headlights!" |

I heard someone at the SD Auto Show talking about a 300HP AWD STi version "coming out next year" as if he'd heard this for sure somewhere.

I am absolutely 100% satisfied with the general publics lack of knowledge regarding the BRZ…
In fact, it makes the BRZ seem more exotic to the average person as they truly do not know what it is… For instance, you could de-badge your BRZ and then place Ferrari emblems on it with some new wheels and a big brake kit and this car would fool a lot of people… I take satisfaction in knowing that my soon to be DD will be a BRZ in Limited Trim. I prefer this scenario over one such as owning a Mustang where every person on the planet knows what it is… This just makes life a little more interesting IMHO… |

Some Joe Average came in today and was telling his wife about how it was front wheel drive. I wanted to slap the taste outta his mouth! SMH

The first thing people do when they spot my car is walk around to check what it is and once they see it's a Subaru the first thing they ask is if it's 4wd. I gladly smile and say no.

my dealer didn't know anything. I told him to do the papers and paid by cheque and left. if it wasn't for this excellent site I would not have known how to fix the window problem. dealer didn't know anything as usual! I wont mod it as it negates insurance coverage.

If I'm chatting up about my car with someone or showing them my car, I'll often ask if they know much about Subaru's in general, and most of them have no idea what a flat-four is.
