well,
drive shaft
both transmissions
torsen limited slip diff
wheels
D4S
exterior design
interior design
exhaust tuning
little sound tubing lol
funding
last but not least the passion


a lot of people forget that toyota still had a big part, expecially the passion, the car wouldnt be this fun to drive without toyotas determination on making the perfect drivers car and all the times TADA said "nope this isnt good enough and needs to be better" made the car what it is... the car we all love, that 95% of the reviewers love( that is a hard feat in itself...)

yeah sure we use the chassis, engine, suspension, and the manufacturing plant from subaru, but i still believe toyota had more part in making the car than people think....

Maybe I'm getting old, but she looked best 10-15 years ago. Perhaps that was before a lot of your times.

Not that I don't think she still looks good, for turning 40 in a few months.

In the Editor's review highlights, once again they complain about the backseat. It's a sports car! Do reviewers ever complain about the Porsche 911 backseat? The BRZ/FRS backseat is about the same size as the 911 and the 911 is a sports car.

Meh, I guess I got a thing for older women. I just hope whatever lady I'm with still looks that good when she's 40!

As for Scarlet, go see Lost in Translation. First scene. Giggity! Bill Murray is hilarious in that movie too, so definitely worth seeing.

I'd take Johannson out of Paltrow or Johannson but I'm more of a Jessica Alba/ Eva Longoria kind of guy. If they were sitting in a BRZ of course.
