I’ll try to keep it simple...

Met him in spring of ‘12. First time he saw me & I gave him my card (which back then only stated “forum mod”), but not once he made dirty look or look down on me (some other brand engineers do), he treated me like a gearhead friend. He even said “I check that forum often and amazed with information.” Since then I was blessed enough to chat w him more than some other ppl. Sometimes he gotta say certain things due to company stuff and he’s the face of 86, other than that he’ll tell you stuff both on & off topics.

He maybe be a POS to some fans for ruining 86 by collab w Subaru & Supra by collab w BMW... & sadly he have heard that from ppl both online & in person. If you actually give him a chance and get off your 86 &/or Supra fan boi high horse and listen, he’s just a normal down to earth gearhead.

In the end, only ppl who was able to meet him and chat w him know if he’s enthusiast or just yes-men.
Wow. I am not an experienced person like you guys, but I believe, the way 86 is built, without a pure enthusiasm, it was not possible. Correct me if I am wrong.
