It isn't that I am against more hp for these cars but more that people that want it fully understand all that more means to them and the platform. Also can't tolerate the guys that claim the car is too slow to drive safely. It isn't a slow car just a car that is slower than a few others.

More power (an easy 300hp) is available for anybody who wants and able to afford it. For the ones who don't want it, there is obviously no obligation. IMHO, having a turbo STI/TRD model is no big deal. I did an early morning drive this morning and it was a blast. Get out and enjoy driving your cars.

Their original idea was to dump most of the money into things that we the consumers cannot readily modify after purchasing the vehicle (i.e. chassis, driving position, ergonomics, etc). The upscaling and gadgetry were probably from the marketing dept. |

The problem with that though is the loss of practicality that caused people to choose the 86/BRZ over the ND miata. Can't please everyone :/

My back seat is used on very rare occasions but when I need it I really need it. Was the main reason I ruled the Z cars out early in my search.

I pretty much never use the back seat and doubt I'll really ever use it (aside from a couple weeks ago when I drove my two adult siblings somewhere and my brother kinda laid sideways across both seats in back to fit).
The thing it's nice for is being able to fold them down and get so much more storage space. I transported a 43 inch tv in box just fine with plenty of space to spare because I could put the back seats down. If I couldn't I would've had to uber or have someone else drive. That's practical. |

They didn't have any real info yet just like the rest of us but know they should get 2-3, I'm basically just first on the reserve list and have dibs. Their guess was Sept-Nov for ordering time.

I was told the same by my dealer. I'm first on their list and they told me it would be September or October where an official order could be out in the system. I for one am really looking forward to this car. I sold my 2013 last summer (engine issues) and really miss the car. Ready to make this one a bad ass track car.
