The auto press doesn't give our car a pass because none of them are old enough to know what a GT6 or MGB GT is. With limited life experience, all they have to compare it to is other grand touring sports cars of today at twice the cost or the plethora of fake "sports" cars built by slapping go-fast parts on economy shitboxes.

Yep. It doesn't make sense because the Twins are cheaper than even the Miata. It's only direct competition is the Miata. The first head to head I remember reading of the FRS was against a base 987 Cayman 🤨. What the hell right?
