If 2014 was the last model year for the twins...
 
...would you be happy or sad as a current owner?

Obviously not gonna happen. Just curious.

I'd be stoked that we are one of the few to own such amazing cars. That and our resell value will most likely stay super high :happyanim:

Happy....

DaJo 09-12-2013 12:51 AM

Very selfish of me to say... but I would be happy like most because it would mean our cars are now "limited"!

That being said, the aftermarket would fall as they will see there won't be as much profit to gain from the limited productions.

Since I'm planning to keep this car for a very long time as my toy, and since it will be used only on the weekends and be garaged....I'd be stocked if this was the last year.

6 years from now I could actually show it off to friends and family, hey look my mint condition 2013 BRZ with 3k miles on it.

Happy.

I would buy a beater and garage it. Talk about making money 30 years from now

3000 miles/six years? Sounds like a waste of money and the use of a great machine. But, hey, that's just me. I'd use it for, at least, five two-week vacations to the Caribbean.

It's a tough call for me. Obviously aftermarket support and polished FI solutions etc would suffer -- I bought the car to have fun not to show off, so I think I'd actually be a little bummed.

Exactly this. I wouldn't garage it though, I'd still drive the shit out of it. Ballin' factor.
