Excellent stuff Rye!
I absolutely agree with you on the 3, exterior is nicer than expected but interior is a total clusterf-. Same with the ATS - boring like all of the other Caddy sedans. The Dart looks better in your photos than in most of the promo pics, which is good cause it looks pretty darn good in the promo pics too. Also, BRZ in showrooms in 2-ish months? I want this to be true, but no US pricing on either BRZ or FR-S leads me to believe it's gonna be closer to 4-ish. |

I talked to a Subaru press rep at the show and they said the car should show up at dealers starting "the same time as the Geneva Auto Show", which is in early March. They also said that while the price hasn't been disclosed yet, they can say the BRZ will start "..in the mid $20k's". Nothing really new I know, but just a little bit straight from the source. |

I got a few of the interior of both by zooming in with my camera while I was there.
Scion is the first two, and Subaru is the last. |

I think most of us will agree tho that they both won't start at the same price. Meh. |

I certainly hope this is the case. |
Man that NSX is so sexy looking! Too bad I wouldn't be able to afford it new.

That Abarth's full red seats so nice! get out of my Dreams and Into my FUture BRZ!!!

I found a picture I took of the BRZ interior [from a distance] and it turned out better than I expected. You can see the parking lights are on, so the tachometer lettering is glowing red. Tougher to see are the dual levers on the side of the seat; one for recline and one for flip-up to access the rear seats. Also, the push-button start is there, and there are no steering wheel buttons.

I so confused with the trims and the steering wheel buttons @___@ are they suppose to be there or not. I hope a Premium will be at DC show so I can figure it out.
