Part of the relative quietness on this forum might just be human nature. When the 'newness' of something wears off, so does the excitement. The first gen cars have been around for over a decade now. Maybe it's just the slow flame of a marriage, rather than the roaring bonfire of early courting.
Another thing at least for me is the bugginess of the forum. Many times I've tried to long in only to find a 'down for maintenance for 30 minutes' notice, which lasts for days. Much of the rest of the time it takes several minutes for the screen to refresh when logging in or just opening a subforum or thread. It naturally gets frustrating, and diminishes participation.
I for one am still loving my 2019. I toyed with the idea of getting a second gen car, it being the last BRZ and all. But the couple of times I've looked at one, it just didn't push my emotional buttons. Yes more power and all that, but to my eyes, doesn't look as appealing (the atomic rocket bunny side sills don't help).
My meager little 2019 has more than enough power by my personal butt-meter, which is the only measurement that matters. I don't time 0-60 runs at each stoplight, and don't care about Nurburgring lap times. If it feels fun for me to drive in the seat of my pants, then it's good enough for me. Which my 2019 more than is.
Drive on...
