In 2009, when they got rid of the intermediate shaft and 34 engine parts, they stepped up their game. The same for the cayenne. I had an 06 that was falling apart after only three years. The 2010 appears to be on the mark. I would be tempted by an 09 or newer Cayman S, but in today's economy, the FR-S, BR-Z was a no-brainer.

Isn't that just it? It doesn't surprise me that we have so many high end car enthusiasts in this thread and forum. I was comparing the Cayman and the BRZ, and while the BRZ doesn't have the Porsche cache, it does have a cache all its own. Excellent performance coupled with that Japanese economy and as opposed to the IMS engine which seems it might fail at any given moment, we have a warranty. On another note, thanks to the OP for the thread, its been great to hear these comments which have simply been affirmations concerning my own experience with the BRZ. Lastly, on Sunday past, I saw three Caymans, I didn't see one BRZ or FRS, there's something to that too! for however long it lasts.
