My girl owns a 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8...

There's a big difference between the two in size, and it seems that there is as much of a difference between the BRZ to the Gen Coupe...

I guess its all about design... but to me her car is freakin small... backseat has barely no room (but can fit 2 of her girlfriends in the back with relative ease...) and trunk is pretty small too. I like it a lot otherwise though. Yea the interior materials could be a little better but for what it is, and what the competition was thus far it was definitely the best thing for the money for her and her needs.

Its all good beacuse its supposed to be a small sporty car... but to picture a 2+2 smaller than this is hard to envision.

Closest thing I can think of is about the size of a Scion tC. Would this be about accurate?

Before my Mustang, I had an 04 S2000 which I freakin loved. So I'm not against small cars... in fact it helps me get comfortable with this 200hp number... but I think this is really one of those that have to be seen in person to really grasp.

The tC is 4 inches taller and 7 inches longer. I think it's a little wider as well. It's FWD, makes less power, weighs 400 pounds more and still runs 15 flat 1/4 mile.

SWeeeeeet pic man. Car seems so much bigger in all the pics. I just cant get my head around how small it actually is, this helps me better visualize it. I feel like all the pics of the car with people standing next to it, they must have all been short or something because the car seems bigger in pics.

Besides the dynamic advantages, I'm certainly going to like detailing a smaller car than my current Mustang!

DannyS · 12-02-2011, 12:47 PM

it´s pretty much the same size as an rx7, and i think that is just perfect.

If someone can figure out who made the originals, please let me know.

PM me if you have to.

Agreed. I think I will definitely have to see it in person to finally get my head wrapped around the actual size. The pics make it look so much bigger but then you see the pic above and it is TINY.

If I knew.. I would've reported motoiq for copyright infringement.. but then again.. the original creator didn't watermark it.

Also, wow, the GC is tall, and humongous.

Hence why it weighs 3000+lbs

The BRZ is about the size of a 370z but the BRZ is a real coupe and not a hatchback. Simply amazing! Just about perfect.

swift996 · 12-05-2011, 11:23 AM

It would be cool to see from another perspective, like the front/rear (in comparison)

Soravia · 12-05-2011, 12:21 PM

Seems to me BRZ is pretty much the same as S13 240SX/Silvia in term of interior space. Size is about the same as S15 because of the width. RX-8 probably has more head room than BRZ (thanks to the hump back).

Man, the Miata is tiny!
Think how little the next generation Miata is going to be as it is supposed to be smaller and lighter....Mazda thinks the current generation Miata has grown too large!

It did grow too large, it's nearly 400 lbs heavier than the original miata.
