Keep an eye out for the newest MotorTrend. Haven't found it electronically/online yet, but the July '12 issue has a "Cheap Thrills" comparo between the GTI, Mustang, Genesis, Miata, FR-S, and BRZ.

I'll let you guess which two took the top two spots...

Nice article.

National Post (Canada) BRZ review:

Indeed, lap after lap in the BRZ proved that it only wants to have fun, that the only way to ever encounter trouble is to do something seriously egregious. Driven smartly, however, the BRZ responds with a delightful sense of playfulness and purpose, holding itself up with considerable composure through the corners, diving quickly into sharp turns, revealing itself as a car with a truly enjoyable character. In other words, it’s an honest-to-goodness sports coupe.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND RPM: This story isn't about the Subaru BRZ. This story is about what it did to my brain.

Great compilation. There is one review missing, that I have found valuable: GQ magazine reviewed the BRZ in April. Wait!...before you roll your eyes because this is basically a men's fashion mag, know that the review was written by none other than the great Jamie Kitman (better known for writing for Automobile and Top Gear mag).

Here's the link: http://www.gq.com/cars-gear/cars/201...z-jamie-kitman
