Check attached an excerpt from Subaru side which is totally on the opposite side. They mention about a highly profitable car. Only if you had an access to the numbers you would know the reality. Rvoll mentioned that too.

Fine if you ignore the simple fact that when that was written the plant also made the Imprezza, WRX, STI, Forester and Crosstrek. Those are indeed highly profitable cars. The article said that it allowed them to change the line over not that the BRZ was highly profitable.


And again an attempt at a slam? Your hypocrite is showing.

If I've learned one thing here, it's not about cars, it's that every thread takes on a sentience of its own here devolves into whatever it wishes. Just gotta roll with it.

I really do hope Subaru does the gray BRZ though, I love that color.

Also, why are there so many Canadians on this site? I didn't know you all even drive anything but snowplows and dog sleds.

There isn't any citation about the Impreza, WRX, Forester or whatever. It was a clear discussion about the BRZ and some changes that were made in the particular factory cause of the 86/BRZ project. All the rest are your own conclusions as usual.

And what about the attempt of slam? Watch my posts in the topic from the beginning. You are the one who started mentioning about nincompoops, just because I did a thumbs up. Who is the real hypocrite over here?

All the discussion about the profit margins and if factory cares about them or not is quite related with the future of the platform. Someone should be very shortsighted to not understand this.


Anyway, enough for this week. I am just visiting this forum, I don't live in the forum

Doesn't need to be a citation about the other cars. The plant was converted from Kei cars to several different more profitable models to say that the reference was only for the BRZ is ignoring the rest of the picture.


Meh. I am not the one complaining whining about other people and then doing the same thing. And my statement before had nothing to do with a thumbs up.

It is stage one in our plan of world domination.
FIRST THE CAR FORUMS THEN THE WORLD!





And why are there Texans here I thought that they just drove jeeps and rode horses?

We drive normal cars in our 3 season annual cycle. 3 months of spring and fall, 9 months of winter. We also like to have our cars converted to use tracks instead of wheels and tires.

I heard your people drive on the left side of the snow drift, and your toilets flush upside down. I also heard your bacon is weird. Don't @ me.

That blue almost looks like hyper blue. Probably a little darker though.
