Literally the same. Based on the initial launch drives in Japan, the BRZ sounds like it's the more stable ride. More predictable and therefore more suitable for my driving needs. Otherwise, I like...

Odd, I have no problem heel-toeing mines, but then again, I've been driving manuals for a while now, so maybe I got used to adapting. I always thought the 86 had the ideal pedal distance (especially...

I get that but it's not always true.

Case in point, I obsessively followed the development of the GR Supra, to the point where I had my finances in order to buy one and obsessively talked about...

It's grown on me, especially the rear. I'm looking forward to owning one in a few years, after special editions start coming out.

True. Maybe this is something to look forward to midway of the 2nd gen's production cycle.

I was wondering about this, too. I assume this is right - the autos have the rivets at all trim levels because they're part of the Subaru safety features that the manuals don't get. I also assumed...

Yup. Ken confirms the sound is "all natural." I assumed this meant no piping and no artificial noise coming from the speakers.

Classic Cusco demo car - minimal upgrades with a lot of stickers. I like the wheels/exhaust.

That's pretty...bad. I was hoping for something subtle, like STi did with the BRZ:

That's a good point - I guess we'll have to wait and see. In my opinion, the RX7 is one of the best looking production cars of the 90s (and certainly one of the best 90s era cars, period, from a...

Am increasingly hoping the Toyota version looks like this and not the confused BRZ front-end that just premiered.

Great comment. This is precisely why I chose to buy a used 2005 S2000 in 2014 as opposed to a (then) FRS. I liked both for different reasons but realized since the 86 was still in production and the...

Yeah, fair enough. I'll have to examine the car under better lighting circumstances but am generally satisfied with out it turned out.

I second this as well. I enjoy the relative "low" power output and lightweight layout and would be fine with sensible refinements to an already good formula. This car will likely be the last of its...

^ This. It inevitably helps drive cars to become shells of their former selves, at best. I quite like the twins a lot and am very fond of the platform. This is why I was so happy that they seemed to...

Ditto. I think one thing that I really like about the 86 is the lightweight package and RWD layout it offers. Sure, it's not fast, but it's so rewarding for what it is.
