i think that if you intend to analyze things with such fine detail, you will lose the value of its analysis. with so many dissections, every car now becomes the best car in its class and that leaves you with as little useable data as you had when you started.
on a side note, anybody who says things arent comparable using an "apples to oranges" analogy is stupid. i mean really, you are unable to compare an apple to an orange? whether certain comparisons are less valuable than others is a different story but i think sporty cars in the same segment and more importantly in the same price range (since money is the standard we use to assess value) are worthy of comparison

I get where you are coming from, when I used the word completely it was just an emphasis of my opinion on how different I thought the cars were. Not really to be taken literally. There are obvious similarities from the two cars but like how brz and frs were made for different target audiences, I also think that the si was made for a certain target audience.
What I find in a lot of comments about si and frs is that most people compare them by performance ONLY. But as a person who has driven both, I don't think these comments are fair, which is why I think the targets are somewhat different.
