Just saying cuz I used to drive a camry......and that thing doesnt wanna move after passing 85miles on odometer.

I was reading a piece on the marketing strategy stateside on the cars and they have really screwed this up. You have a great platform, easily the most balanced car off the showroom floor I have ever driven, and some dipshit wants to sell it like a Camaro. Couple that with dealers who similarly have no idea what the product is and talk at their customers rather than listen to what matters to them and the sales figures are actually astonishing as they come DESPITE the marketing.
Both the dealers I worked with owned BRZs themselves. Both were as excited as I was about the car and happy to let me sit in it and discuss their philosophies on the car. They were themselves fans of the car and driving enthusiasts and that made it even easier to decide to buy the car. Unlike some, I knew what the car was and that's what I was after. When my buddies asked me about my day long test drive of the rental I summed it up thus. "I don't have to change a damned thing. Subaru built ME a car."
