Anyways OP seems to have made up his mind. He views Supra as a better car. It isn't our job to convince him the BRZ is better. I personally would take a new BRZ because of being new, NA, lightweight...etc.
i see your point but he asked us. i also kind of wonder what this whole green thing has done to reliability. fundamentally, the supra is a tough as cars get. i wouldnt be surprised if a clean, late supra would last longer than a brand new frs. in my head it would be just about a wash since you would lose in maintenance initially on the supra but you would get back in the lack of depreciation. i hope the frs becomes a big deal but with a supra we know it is.

maybe im just partial since ive had a mk2 and 3 supra and the earlier had over 400k on the odo when i got rid of it with no major issues
