Completely and totally in favour of improvements. My point was that the earlier models were very heavily promoted and praised for exactly the handling that they have now changed. I am not saying they were better or worse just that a good deal of the sales hype was around that very thing. They even explained a few times in different reviews and comparisons between the Twins how the FRS was more "lively" and the BRZ more "stable"(I am not going to go back through the 100 sites I checked while researching to buy this car for proof). The original marketing was geared towards two different demographics with the FRS targeting the "younger" crowd and the BRZ focusing on us "older" guys. In reality the lines between the two groups blurred so fast that both groups quickly fit into either car's marketing. There is a very old thread on here someplace (again to lazy to go find) that predicted this exact change to the suspension once the two makes settled into their marketing niche.

Wasn't a retort of your comment, just putting the facts out there when some incorrectly state "ehh they just put new bolts in it".
So I just wanted to point out the FACTS to those that have no facts.
