Great video by Dezoris. Well-shot, with lots of in-depth info about the car, and plenty of V8 aural pleasure.
Kinda surprised with how much he liked it (I find he tends to be quite a tough reviewer).

For the money, weak...and no manual. There are only three sport coupes that float my boat, the BRZ/ FRS being one of them.

I don't think anything in this price class has manual anymore.
And yes it may be low on power (no turbo) but damn does it sound good.

I want this to be my old mans car.

Since when was 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque "low on power"?
Everything doesn't need a turbo.


This sort of comment is exactly why I always say that if they offered a 300HP Twin then people would still scream "NOT ENOUGH POWER".

Oh I just meant low on power compared to its competition, most of them are pushing over 500horses.

The whole horsepower war going on right now is just flipping stupid.
I don't need a car to get me from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds which seems like everything 'has to be' nowadays otherwise its considered slow.....

there used to be merit to some of these power figures but its all just a **** measuring contest nowadays.

Nah. Not a nowadays thing. It has been going on since the first cars hit the road. The numbers are just higher now.

I had to go look up "autronic-eye". That was one I hadn't heard before. Pretty fancy name for autodimming headlights.

It’s a gorgeous car, I remember sitting in the coupe at the LA auto show and the interior was incredible. Sorry to hear it doesn’t sell, not sure why old dudes with money wouldn’t want one. Those looks, that sound, and it’s a Lexus?
