Why do people know nothing about the BRZ?

Considering it's a bit cheaper... 350Z started as ~$28K originally I think?

I believe a similar group of people would cross shop this car.

Hoping nobody buys it.. I like being the only one around!

Unfortunately, the brz/frs will never outsell the Z. The reason being, the Z is the best selling sports car in history. Its not that its a better car, its just got 40 years of development/evolution behind it. Not to mention, Subaru/Toyota really underestimated the popularity of these cars, so they are underproduced atm.

350z=/=all of the z cars ever. i dont think it will sell as well as the 350z simply because of the state the global economy was in then compared to now.

I saw one the other day. It wasn't just for the BRZ, but they sure did show a lot of it. Granted they mentioned to "Come pick up an AWD Subaru" right when the BRZ was pictured.

I'm not sure about that. A lot of people are getting the BRZ/FR-S due to the fact that they can get a commuter that is fun and still gets over 30mpg. I'm one of them. ^_^ It sucked when the M3 had to go, but I was happy when I was still able to pick up a fun car.

I like it this way, limited production and few people know about. Think about if this is well known like a Honda Accord...I probably buy something else.

Truf. One of the reasons I bought the BRZ was because of its limited availability. I've always wanted a car that was "rare", but they are usually out of my price range.

even if you believe there are going to be well over 150k people looking to do that, there are still many more popular options that are more consumer friendly. we obviously won know until its said and done but in its peak, the 350z was selling over 30k a year and i just dont see this car (or any sports car) doing that in this economy.

im perfectly fine with people knowing nothing about this car

Yea I suppose it is pretty cool having such a rare car. I didn't realize that it would get nearly the amount of attention that it does. Hopefully the resale value is high in six years.

Same here. The more people don't know, the better. As soon as a random person ever refers to my car as one of the "twins", it's time to sell (just kidding, but I really don't want these cars lost in the masses).

Just wait for the new Fast and the Furious, then we will see how popular the car becomes.

Right now it is popular in the correct market, the enthusiast.

There's a blue Brz in a Brooklyn dealer. Been sitting there for two months. I test drove it before thanksgiving. Who wants it??

always be relatively obscure because it's slotted at a very limited market.

this is true! car will always be a limited product,because there are many other cars more practical which get excellent fuel mileage.

correct! it fills a "need" but as always,when something "better" is introduced
the novelty will fade,and what will remain is just another "depreciating asset!"
as much as we love the car,it is STILL just a car,designed to go from point a to point b,however, this one is just more fun to drive.
