I think he inferred it by the ending. He talked about the Z, not so great, talked about the Cayman, great but it can get expensive to maintain and ended with super high praise for the GT86.
On a related note, what was the last car that so many automotive reviewers gushed about like this? I have seen so much praise for the car that it makes me wonder if Toyota is sending out checks. I can't even think of one. |

I would like to know where he finds a Cayman S for 16K. I looked at Autotrader and the cheapest one I saw listed within 200 miles of me cost 29K. 29K upfront, no warranty, expensive German parts and German reliability versus Japanese reliability. FR-S/BRZ is a no brainer considering those points.
