They did bring it. It's called a Subaru BRZ Limited.

If I had to go back, I would have bought 2 at once. One to drive, and another one to keep in the Garage

Ask me after winter. Then I may have some regrets. As of right now, I would buy the FR-S all over again, same color and everything.

Pretty much this, there isn't anything new on the market right now that fits my preferences other than the twins.

If Nissan made a good looking Silvia successor, I would SERIOUSLY consider it.

Would have kept my e46 M3 in a heartbeat, even though the miles were adding up and the warranty was up.

If it's going to be a track car (and therefore get a lot of prep), why would it matter if the car had been beaten?

I would get the FR-S again. I'd order it earlier instead of waiting for the first test drive since I know how good it is now.
