Just wait until they use a twin as a main character car in a movie. Then the prices will skyrocket overnight. Look at what happened to supras when the original fast and furious came out. Around here you could buy a modded TT stick supra for 20-25k. After the movie, they were going for that much stock!

I didn't even spend that on my kitted out BRZ limited.

In Canada, BRZ Limited was $29,250, and I think it's a bit higher this year. After taxes and dealer BS mine cost $34,xxx. Add on another $1500 for winter rims and tires, I'm at close to $36,000 just to drive it.

Because it has flaws. Who says i don't like my car? A post on the internet? You going to judge a whole person by what they say on the internet?

I find it hilarious you reacted that way to my previous post, because I never once singled you out in that post. That says something...

So true! My friend bought a 240sx for $700 before the movie. Completely stock, rust-free, overall mint condition. After that dang movie, prices skyrocketed to like $3k for a same condition 240, if not more!

Go look at the price of first gen mr2s. I bet that's where our car is going. As a side note. Love the car, just don't see how it will ever be a highly sought after classic in 20+ years.

And I have #69 out of the first 10k. Guess that's the second best number next to #86 out of the first 10k. :cheers:

what hype? I've seen like a hundred youtube videos and everyone of them only praise how much fun it is to drive around, steering response is awesome, interior is okay, needs more horsepower, and that it's a lightweight RWD car.

I got exactly what I paid for.

Do you know how many posts I have seen by people saying the car is slow and they did not realize it until after they bought it because their dealer would not let them test drive it?

Sorry, buy buying a car based off reviews and not being able to test drive it before buying is just dumb. This is a $24-28K Scion/Subaru, not a $200K exotic...

The average consumer thoroughly researches before buying? Most probably saw the Top Gear section at best or bought the car on a whim, we're in the minority of people who obsessively research this stuff.

"what hype?"

lol

Like every car out there, if you don't know what you're getting there's a good chance you'll be disappointed. I bet there's guys over on Mustang forums lamenting how ungainly their car is and how they miss their more agile Civics or whatever.
