Why can't sports cars be powerful and handle well?

They can, and often do. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

Yep. Fast, light, cheap. Pick two. Although that's a bit biased, as you can gain "fast" by going "light" (aka Colin Chapman), but it's far easier to gain "fast" by putting a bigger engine, where a relationship similar to Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation rules - bigger engine leads to heavier components which lead to more weight, requiring a bigger engine to get the same performance, ad-nauseum.

It looks like it is taller than the 1st gen, maybe it’s just the camo? Also I really like the recycling truck’Clean City Enjoy Recycle’

In this video and performance, Takata wears a wig in the fashion of an ancient Japanese hairstyle and transforms himself into the character of Susano-o, a Shinto god who appears in the Japanese creation myth. The erection between his legs, is in the form of a Japan-shaped penis. The artist believed that the Japanese archipelago looked like male genitalia standing erect towards the Pacific Ocean. From this idea, he assembled his mythological image of creation and destruction.
In 2011, a year after the video was created, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck. Many things have changed since then, such as people’s outlook after the earthquake and the events following. For this reason, this video work is often connected to the disaster and the rising nationalistic sentiments of the time.
I am truly scarred for life.

I doubt he'd be comfortable in the BRZ's relatively tight seats. Ingress and egress would also be problematic.

I was literally about to comment on how much *lower* it looks than the current gen! Looks about "right" to me height-wise, whereas stock current-gen looks as if it's on stilts. I lowered mine based on looks alone, before it became my "track car" as well as my daily.

It is .4 inches lower. Whether that reduction is in cabin height or ride height we don't know. Camera angle makes it impossible to tell real dimensions just from pictures.

I thought official specs were that the new one is 0.4" lower than current...
