Caution opinion alert proceed with caution I think the time we would have seen a stripped down version over here is gone already. I strongly believe that the RS2 is the direction the car will head in to capture more market share. The guys with the original passion had their crack at it and now it is slowly getting turned over to the marketing crew. The car has to evolve to survive and the whole original "purpose" sometimes gets lost in that growth. If this car heads down the luxury coupe route it will get increased sound proofing, softer suspension, 200 way power seats, lumbar massagers and so on and so on. Anything they can add to get those 10 more customers will be added and screw the guys that loved it for what it was. We have seen this happen to many of the greats and it is almost inevitable to happen here as well. There will still be "performance" versions available I am sure but they will no longer be in the FRS/BRZ price range. The other reasonably possible scenario is they just put out a couple more MYs and end the whole thing. Time will tell and I hope that I am proven wrong since I will need a new one in 4 more years!

Those wheels should have been the stock trim in 2012. So much better.
Love that lip too. |

I really want one because i love the BRZ amenities but the only subaru dealer is an hour away, and my local Toyota dealer has been good to me. But on the other hand they are charging 39 999 for a 1.0 series

The RS 2.0 is nice, but I feel like people might regret getting one with the refresh just around the corner sporting the fancy Toyota badge. |

I still intend to rebadge mine at one point since I just simply like Toyota better. Here's hoping that the 86 airbag will make its way to U.S. shores as well. |

I have been saving for a few years and my wallet is burning :S. I want the scion body with push to start and all the key less options. The BRZ is growing on me and might just end up with a sport-tech if my local dealer bumps the 2.0's price sky high.
here is my local dealers 1.0 http://www.courtenaytoyota.com/en/us...es-10/6942142/ I think the new 2.0's colour will look nice with black accents, and if my dealer can find one with out jacked up prices I would have zero regrets. |

You sir are correct. You these photo don't do justification. Paint isn't bad... I still don't know if that orange interior matches w exterior color, but overall, I didn't mind. It's very mild? (Not sure that's a right word to use) |
