I recall that in the automotive press that there are opinions floating around that in fact the BRZ/86 is considered a 'Girly' car. Over the years, there have been many automobiles that the so-called experts labeled as being more attractive to women. These same self appointed experts will label any car as 'Entry Level' as there are other more expensive and higher performance alternatives. My question is, what if the car you have is just what you want or need? Anything can be 'Entry Level'. It could be a house, a TV or even jewelry. The people talking that way have a motive; a commission. When I made fun of my friend for driving a Girly Car, it is because that is what guys do. We beat each other up for just about anything we can. When your buddies stop picking on you, it might be because they don't care or they're pissed at you. Most guys don't carry a grudge and if they do it might last about five minutes or until the beer comes out. These are all generalizations of course.
Any derisive comments I may have made are between my friend and myself and not directed to anyone else. I have a friend who questioned my calling the BRZ a sports car. Apparently I should have been driving a Porsche. OK, so I am driving an entry level sports car.
