Not on purpose. There is always something better on the "horizon." Unless the BRZ is over priced, I will go with that rather than wait.

So you'll consider waiting, if the FRS/BRZ is overpriced?

An Modern Datsun 240 would be awesome.
Small Lightweight Cheap RWD Hatch= Awesomeness!!

Hold on!....!

According to Wikipedia it states " Datsun models will be sold in Indonesia, Russia and India from 2014"

Does this mean America gets no Datsun brand?

I wouldn't wait on purpose for a potential "Datusun" sports car. Nothing has been set into production. But if I didn't feel the BRZ justified whatever price it comes out at, then I would wait and get something used to hold me over until something new sparked my interest (new WRX/STI).

Imagine if Nissan put their 1.6L turbo engine into something small, lightweight, RWD?

I would go right now and buy that. Pick that over a 370Z hands down based on looks for me.

For those unfamiliar, BAT is the most dangerous web site on the internet for car people. You have been warned.

370Z looks a bit like a bloated toad. Mods don't help
