I'd love a black BRZ limited however prob will cost $40,000 or more in Australia so might have to go with the 86 or BRZ premium depending on price...its gonna be black whatever it is tho!!!

So I spoke to my MD, he was lucky enough to test both the BRZ and GT-86 back to back in Japan last week.

His comments were the BRZ has a much better handling feel, even pushing it hard you can barely hear the tires. He said the BRZ has a better feel on corners than the 86.

His words exactly "The BRZ has superior handling over the 86"

I heard the Australian market may not get the BRZ, I hope thats not true.

Very Cool.

I don't see the bumper color discrepancy though. In these pictures, all I see are lighting variances due to the curves of the car - which is perfectly normal.

I wonder how a license plate relocation would work with that bumper...
