I find that annoying. Why can't people with money enjoy cars like this?
I didn't buy the twin cause I was on a budget. I bought it because I love it!

Same here. I did not buy buy it because I am a 'performance driver' (whatever that is) nor am I on a budget. I am all over the place when it comes to my car hobby. I came from a Lexus LX and the Lexus RC350 was on my short list too, which is a coupe costing more then double the price of the BRZ. But I could not get over the spindle grill and the fussy design in general and the overall softness and numb feeling. Even the Jaguar F type was on my radar but I couldn't justify the money (maintenance, issues etc..) Camaro's, Mustangs, Challengers or anything else domestic was never an option.
I am old (not as old as @
Tcoat lol) I do not finance. The bargain BRZ hits the spot. It captures the essence af driving and the reason I fell in love (in the eighties) with cars.
I do not 'need' more power but I like playing with my toys. So I modify and change it to my liking. When I am driving I mind my own business and don't drive like an idiot comparing my car with whatever is out there.
And yes, I know that I am not the average target group for which this car is designed but this article hits a nerve.
