It took 15 years from a competitor to make a vehicle that could rival it from a price point.
If you've ever driven or owned one, you would understand it's greatness. If Honda was smart and brought over the CTR , I think a lot of people would choose the CTR over the BRZ if they didn't have a preferred platform. The only car that I have kept longer than three years is the ITR, hopefully I'll keep the BRZ for ten years or more like the ITR.
I really do like the BRZ a lot. The brake feel is excellent and although my car has less than 40 miles on it, the motor feels like it wants to be pushed past the 3,500 rpm limit I set. I love how the exterior looks minus the tail lights and mustache. It c0mes with a lot of features that the FRS doesn't offer and it's all for $27k.
Waiting for everyone to be the guinea pig for aftermarket performance parts before I purchase some in the future.

oh I quite agree. I love Honda. I refuse to give up my Civic even after all the offers. When I have kids, they aren't touching it. The ITR is a great car...
When I was looking for a new car, I made a big list of cars... but nothing felt right until I looked over the BRZ. It has the same idea/feel as the cars in the '90s. Too bad Honda has been stacking... the new Civic Si doesn't compare... the CRZ is interesting, like the look, but not the Hybrid...
I set my shift light to 3700rpm, but it definitely wants to go faster... even locally, I'm going through all gears... so much potential in this car like the Integra, Civic, MR2, RX7, Celica, 240SX, 300ZX, and all the other classic tuner cars...
