Plus even if it does seem like its built by committee, the blueprint they followed was the first gen, so unless they drastically changed something about the car, it doesn't seem like it'll stray too far off what the first gen represented. |

Agreed. Dimensions, weight, low COG. RWD, NA, LSD, good enough styling, manual transmission. All I need. It’ll me this or a 2.4L swap or a Cayman as the next car. I still have more time on my 2013 with 80k miles.

I respect people's opinions but have u ever heard an Aston Martin DB9 v12?
I tapped the pedal while it was sitting in the garage and it literally startled me. Then there's a 62 resto mod Vette with an LS3 sitting next to it. I didnt start it. This is at my sister's place in AZ.

There is so much we don't know but based on the marketing hype and very limited stats we have seen I am confident that my thoughts will be verified. At least to me. You really need to visit the paper racer heaven "bestest engine ever ever builded" thread for a fun time!

Many engines have the potential to sound better, but I wouldn’t paint a brush that all boxers sound like crap or all ______ sounds like crap and that all V8+ engines sound amazing.

In the end, my next car won't likely be an 86 anyway, because I like to move around, and if I wanted to keep the same car, I'd keep the one I have.

For all those talking about engine note, and will still be buying cars in 15 years, I guess you are going to be sorely disappointed. Let's face it, ICE engine notes are going to get worse, and eventually will do a soft fade into history. Then you'll be able to pick any note you want.
Might as well just get used to it now. That's easy for me because I'm engine "tone deaf". All I hear for the most part is decibel levels, and I'd just as soon not hear it.

Nice rides and nice to know you still prefer your BRZ! A car doesn’t have to be high power or high dollar to be a boatload of fun.

They were all automatics. They all felt huge, but the Aston Martin was a boat. Very comfortable and the power was butter smooth, but it was a luxury GT cruiser way more than a light weight sports car, so it was jot really enjoyable. The weight and roll in the corners was horrendous. The Lambo was powerful but lazy, big and dull. The interior was blocky and bland. The leather everywhere was nice, but it just felt like I was wearing a large leather jacket. Bland. The Lambo was better than the Ferrari in terms of build quality and button layout. The Ferrari felt a little too ostentatious on the inside like someone went crazy with the aftermarket carbon fiber and buttons. The Ferrari felt smaller. The ride was super smooth but sharpened up when pushed, so best of both worlds, but still more numb than I like from a sports car. More GT. The BRZ is small, wraps around me, has sensible controls, isn’t trying to be something wild or what it is not, looks good, has good power even compared to them, manual, slides around, makes me feel connected to the experience, etc. I could go on. To circle back around, I would even say my car sounds better than the stock Lambo and Aston. They were too muted. Not the Ferrari.

"Estimated"? So someplace between 200 and 350 then.
