Oh that's what this is? Then I drove one on a business trip to Italy last year. The one I drove had a little diesel in it. It was alright. Not what I would really consider sporty but then it was a rental and different engine than this thing will come with.

It definitely was sort of bloated to be considered a competitor for the FRS/BRZ. It had a good sized back seat and trunk. We fit three people and their luggage for a week in it (it was packed very tight). I would say it is more a competitor for the Impreza, Civic, etc. Even sported up I think comparing it to the BRZ is sort of apples and oranges.
