This is funny. We need to get our central AC replaced and the sales guy was here just now and was excited to see my BRZ. He's a "car guy" and told me (straight face) that the BRZ was originally going to be an electric car but that the styling, which was done for aerodynamic efficiency, was too sporty and wouldn't have appealed to the average electric car buyer. So then, he said, they were going to do a 425HP twin turbo version, but that would have been too expensive.

Good thing the shop he works for is reputable...
