Best sports car under $50 grand?

...see for yourself:

A review aggregation site, like rotten tomatoes, only for car reviews. I have no idea how the reviews are turned into a number, but the ranking seems pretty close to how I read the reviews.

I think the FRS/BRZ is a great car but I don't know if it objectively deserves that high of a score.

For example: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...NC4nb5NrLscZ7g

Jalopnik officially gave the BRZ a 76.

Under 30k, and especially 25k, yes its probably the best sports car but at 40,50,60k there are WAY more cars that are better than are listed.

Unless a number or star system is explicitly stated its virtually impossible to derive a number from a review.

Simplicity can often be better then fancy technology and un-needed luxuries.

I'm not saying one is better than the other but according to their ranking

FRS > Mustang > Miata > BRZ

That seems pretty ridiculous when the cars are essentially the same...
