^ Don't Subaru's marketing bees realize that the BRZ has a potentially massive English speaking (1st or 2nd language) market? They can't spend a few hundred dollars to put English subtitles on their videos?

And ironically enough it seems that many (on here) that actually do use the car for the track change the suspension, wheels and pads on the PP cars anyway!
