the veloster was never going to do any good.... its sloppy and doesnt do what a sports car needs to do well first and foremost, feel responsive/handle well.

my prediction will be:
BRZ 1 Renault 2 86 GT 3 provided they get this bit of info right: Apart from a few minor cosmetic and equipment changes and slightly firmer front suspension on the Toyota |

No one product can be all things to all people. To me it is irrelevant as to where the BRZ/86 comes in this test. Does the car I am buying suit me? Yes it does. Will it suit everybody? No it won't.
