Not really. This is a classic design that will continue to look good for years to come. Like the Lotus Elan that the Miata was based on.

Me too. People who think that should try to get in or out of a Lotus 7 / Caterham Super 7 with the roof on and side curtains in place.

I agree. I still love white, but really wish I would've gotten red or blue

I completely agree its a beautiful design, manufacturers rarely get it right, its one of the few cars that really stand out. Noticed you got a black one, nice.
Watched that video, that looked like quite a process getting out would be worse
As far as lotus's and caterhams go there way more expensive for what you get, and completely out of reach for most people, but yes agreed much more of a legal go kart.

So, when they see mine up close, they are curious.

Subaru? All wheel drive, right?
I figured you would get, "what a dumb car, you can't see the brake pads without taking the caliper off!"

This car would look cool in green, like a nice bright shiny green, not dark green.
Have seen a yellow one, looked alright.

I get "Is that a new Celica" alot

I'm really liking my Solar Orange limited edition

Too many black, white, blue, red twins on the road here, every BRZ seems to be WRB or black, the 86's seem to be white or red

It seems like mine is the only Solar Orange, they only released 60 of these here in AU, this makes it easy to find at meets

Still loose it in car parks though, the car is tiny
