I'm old enough to know that Subaru has deliberately and successfully tried to recapture the pure mechanical excitement of driving. The big difference from the old days? Complete anvil like reliability compared to those old sportscars.

I owned an Alfa Romeo GTV6, 2.5 l V6 putting out a then impressive 150 hp. This BRZ is the spiritual successor to cars like that. The BRZ would run circles around any of those old cars. And never break down while doing so.
