some of your question involves being able to afford to 'progress' in sports cars as well, so without forseeing becoming really rich in the future and stepping into a cayman or a shelby mustang or m2 or something like that i'm going to be pretty content having a brz as a second car for a very long time.

This is what I think is really, really cool. I'm amazed by how much cars have improved over the years. I see so much written about how the BRZ is "too expensive" - and sure, I'd love if it were priced even less, and I'm sure you could debate value vs. other cars on the market, especially "per horsepower", but this car seems pretty special from what I can tell.
I was looking at old pictures of 997 interiors the other day and realized how much the BRZ interior looks like the 997 interior. In fact that was one of the first thoughts I had when I saw the BRZ interior - reminded me of the 997. Makes me wonder if they actually purposefully used that as a benchmark.
