My friend Christina has a 2018 brz with PP and I love driving that car.
Their are two Hakone editions locally and one brand new 2020 magnetite Gray PP brz locally which part of me wants to jump on, but until I drive the new car I won’t know for sure.

Anyone who has a current gen should remain happy, hopefully many parts will be compatible with the current car.

Not super happy, but not disappointed either. It is what it is

I completely get where you are coming from. Something like a Hakone edition 86 or BRZ with the Performance Pack are very tempting. A BRZ tS would be the top of my list for a current gen car.
BUT, I think waiting for the 2nd gen is the smartest move. There are some significant improvements. It’s riding on a modified new Subaru global platform, it’s much more rigid, the engine has more torque, and the interior is nicer. You can address a few of those things through the aftermarket on a 1st gen, but not all of it.
I freaking love my car, it’s a blast. So I’m expecting the 2nd gen to take everything I love about my car and ramp it up a little. Not earth shattering, but improvements through the entire car.
