The more I see it (esp in the non-white colors) the more I like it. Yeah it's a little OTT but it's looking its part. I agree some of those fake vents gotta go though.

From My Instagram, I can't talk about my exp till after embargo lifts. Spent a couple of hours in the blue car, will have a white one tomorrow.

But here's some pics I might post more later.

Anyone in the market torn between the BRZ and CTR? I know I am (I know they are very different cars but still). Which one are you going with and why?

Not sure if mad at the civic or impressed it is here.

Thank you for the PSA on calling this out. I just saw this thread for the first time and the only reason I clicked on it was because the statement was so confusing. Glad to see you've already taken care of it for me.

Well I was really just joking since I am the last person to be able to critique grammar or spelling but glad I could help.

I was also considering getting the CTR over the Twins, but after giving it some thought I'm sticking with my original plan to get a Twin. The CTR has more features and utility than the Twins, goes very fast for its price point, and is likely better put-together than the FoRS.

Despite all this however, the CTR isn't what I'm looking for personally. It looks overly-aggressive, as if you're overcompensating for something, and owning one won't be cheap. The limited production run make it hard to get one without substantial markups, and buying a full set of tires for the 19" wheels is pricey.

I'd rather have the classic lines and lower cost of entry that you get with the Twins, and no matter how much tech you put into a FWD car it won't have the dynamics of a RWD platform. Both the Twins and the CTR are great cars in their own right, but I think it would be hard for me to walk away from a Twin as opposed to a CTR.

We'll see what happens when the real track/autox enthusiasts get ahold of it what the real weak points are but the thing looks pretty promising. I'm actually rather excited about it and I didn't think I would be, might be a cool pickup in a few years...

To be honest, I think it looks pretty nice. More for the younger audience but it's alright since the performance can actually back it up.
