It is a personal preference but to judge a car purely on its price and body that might not appeal to you but appeals to millions it's just silly.
They are great practical, sports cars. BRZ/FR-s is very similar...but it lacks few things but than again Porsche has a history, brz/frs hasnt, or if it has, than Toyota hasnt used it at its full potential.
Easy, guy. Never did I judge the car or say anything negative about the Porsche enthusiasts out there. I was simply surprised by the amount of Stuttgart fans on the forum, and was surprised that no one disliked the (infamous, notorious, well-known) look of the cars and thought the price is inflated like myself. I also said "I cannot judge the cars themselves as I have never driven one"... But let me ask you this, if you disliked the look of a vehicle, no matter how well it performs, would you still strive to own one? I know I wouldn't. I thought I worded my post in a way that wouldn't upset anyone, but I guess not.

Orthojoe, thanks for understanding where I'm coming from.
