why worry about things that are out of your control (i.e. insurance)...as long as you don't have "een" at the end your age you should be ok. I know I will .

Do you not care about gas prices either? I have no control over them, even though my life doesn't really change much because of it either, but that does not mean that fuel efficiency does not matter to me just because I can't adjust the prices but can still afford to get by just fine if they do go up.

YUK!!! The worst america has to offer i wouldnt hire anybody that looks like that not even to wash my car unfortunately in my area they drive v6 camaros & mustangs and scions and they love cadillacs and old lincolns as well so im sure its just a matter of time until they start getting this car and putting on ugly wheels and stickers.
I wonder if you'd say "YUK" in their faces slight hint of what you said about them .

Anywho, I have a feeling there will be a lot more younger folks than old that I'll be seeing on the road with these or the BRZ. It doesn't bother me one bit.

At least your username is better than SuqMadiq. I wonder why he thought anyone would take him seriously with a name like that...

no i don't care about gas prices either. this car was designed to be one of the most fuel efficient of its kind even if it only gulps the expensive stuff. as it is i use 91 only in my current car.

I wasn't referring to this car specifically, but if it weren't as fuel efficient as it is (let's pretend it had the fuel economy of an RX-8, which usually averaged ~20 mpg), things might be different. Maybe not to you, but it's likely that a few people would reconsider. But it looks like we just don't see eye-to-eye on this one.

Yes, only because it will directly impact my wallet when the insurance rates are adjusted for this car because of careless/inexperienced driving. You're going to have a surplus of idiots on the street drifting their cars and piling them up much quicker than any rsx/tc/si/wrx/evo ever did.

I don't think there will be a problem because it is a rare car out the gate. For now atleast. Hell it seems like half of the people are either keeping it a track car of a weekend cruiser. I doubt that people will see this car driving down the road like they do your average camry. After 3 years I bet people will still be walking up to you and asking you what it is.
