The thing I hate most in our cultuer here that once a thing become old, they just trash/scrap it
See now its been 4 years since I started looking for a clean R30 or R31 coupe, guess what I found NON ! all have bent chassis and toyota powered engines for doing "thier USELESS sh1t" 
regarding the high and entery models... do you guys mean that the high model will be only auto??? damn, what if I want HID and manual?? cuz the entery model don't have HID
 1 more resone to buy a BRZ cuz all grades have HID |
I know, that's the problem with our culture but times are changing with automotive communities growing in the region.. Its actually shocking that 1200 units sold and barely any survived, 1200 is still a formidable number. The bigger problem is that many people that get such cars like the R30 or relevant dont really value them either. You get to see them abused under the hands of ghetto tuners and boy racers..
For me I am glad they are interested in bringing a manual to the UAE, whether its an entry model or not.. Because dealers here view manual as poor sales so that is one big step..
