I'd probably still have my MKIV VW R32 or purchased either another Lotus Elise (sold mine then got the R32 for something cheaper) or labored to find a Telsa Roadster that isn't too expensive (sort of trying that now if someone buys my BRZ).

Went to the dealership to buy a 2014 Camry SE. Saw the FR-S and bought it instead since it was the same price and a hell of a lot more fun.

So a 2014 Camry would have been what I ended up with.

Probably would have sucked up the fuel costs and bought another STI. Fun car, besides the lower mpg I loved mine nice having a newer car. Would consider building another GC I just don't have the time right now and there is something about driving a newer car that is so nice feeling.

I had massive reliability issues with it and couldn't afford to have both an FRS and MR2 so it had to go unfortunately. It was my only car and my commute is 80KM each way. I miss it everyday though

Honestly, I had never driven a car with the driving characteristics of the twins.

So the car I bought was a 2013 Golf R even though the BRZ was first on my list to test drive. Problem was, I didn't think I could live with only 2 seats so I never test drove the BRZ. Well, after almost 2 years with the R, I realized I only had rear passengers 3 or 4 times. So, test drove the BRZ.

Now, "If the BRZ stopped being manufactured…" I'd probably get a new Porsche Cayman, now that I know what it's like to drive a car like this, I don't think I could back to anything where you sit higher than 19" above the pavement.
