Age alone still does not mean "classic" and trying to force it to is not the evolution of language it is personal opinion.

This is a very interesting thread. I'm surprised that most FRSs are AT, and wonder why BRZ buyers would be so different. Consider the nightmare scenario when the government won't let us have gasoline anymore It has already created a command economy to force us into electrics.
I read somewhere that a guy converted a 308 Ferrari to all electric. Hideous! |

If anybody can put an actual document showing the FRS had more ATs I would love to see it. Blogs, clickbait sites and other forum posts do not count.

Personally, I wish I could ride a horse and buggy on the freeway. The actual way ICE cars are going to go away is that they will first be banned in city centers (they already have been in many countries). Then in cities entirely. Gas stations will close down thanks to low business. Oil subsidies will fall off, so gasoline prices will rise. The government might also start adding in the environmental costs of gasoline to the cost of a gallon, which would easily double the price. It will be more convenient to get an EV on so many more levels. But then there will be people who want ICE at any cost, just like there are people who love having horses at any cost. Ferriers and mechanics will still exist, but they'll be fewer and farther between. Not so much a nightmare as progress. Also lots of people will drop EV parts into older cars.

Numbers come from here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aut...smission-take/ More WRX bros buying BRZs with manuals, and more people buying the Toyota because they wanted something with 2 doors in the Toyota showroom? |

The big seller for the BRZ in 2018 were the PP Limited and the TSs and I believe you could only get those in MT so it sort of skews the numbers.

Model A? It's a classic car. I'm pretty sure that's what a neighbor of mine has. In black.

Black ones aren't worth much. Was a pretty common colour.
