I am in, I need to wait a bit to gain some positive equity in my current car then Ill get one.

I think the price is good though and not overpriced like many are saying. I dont see how you could of truely expected it to be less (other than by hopes and dreams)... I think it offfers a lot for what you get at the ,id 20K prive point.

Having said that I think the BRZ might have some issues unless they can really market the exclusiveness of their rare(er) version of the scion (which wont be rare so that kind of makes it a mute point when the average Joe wont be able to tell the two cars apart). If they come in at 30K or higher there are too many better options and would make me go elsewhere... Since all the info I have seen state the Subie will be at least a few thousand higher, its limited version may see close to a 30K sticker

First 86er im all in,

I dont see another car like this coming out for awhile
My truck gets 16 mpg and has 168k on the clock
I dont want one of these used because im sure it will be driven hard
This car is exactly what i want and im not worried about creature comforts.


And honda has nothing new that excites me anymore....

The older Prius without smart key was like that. Every other Toyota/Lexus/Scion model isn't.

Other brands are different obviously.

BMW and Mini you dont have to, but there is a slot where you're supposed to put the keyfobs....its more of a key holder so you dont have your fob just toss into a storage bin in the car....plus it'll recharge the battery in the key from there i think.

and they're right next to the push start button so it makes no sense to have them lol.
