Most people here won't even look the BRZ, because they have more money and will go for the Porsche's. However, these people don't really know and it is more about placing their money somewhere and have a better prestige than really driving their car. I was also looking to the Porsche's as my next "project" car and I said "it doesn't worth it". It is a very closed platform, you need to invest much more money to modify, maintenance is silly expensive and the results not that impressive. Tim Schrick who is local and he is also with the Subaru team in Nurburgring 24h owns two BRZs! One dedicated for racing and one for private usage. He has many other cars in his private collection, but basically classic ones. He should know better ...
