Damn the GC looks even uglier next to the BRZ than it usually does.

That photo isn't doing either of them any favors. Is it a weird angle or an odd lense or something else?

I think it's just the darkness of the setting messing with the Silver...


That Genesis is UGLY though.

To be honest I saw a Silver BRZ and I thinks its the ugliest color of them all.

IMHO...

25-30K is very reasonable for this car. At first glance, it seems little over-priced but look closer and there's nothing out there in this bloated and insulated car era that offers this kind of undiluted driving experience. Loaded miatas are over 30K now. Another car with similar goals is cayman. You get most of cayman for less than half the money, and more practical too.

I'm not a big fan of the silver either, but I wasn't really referring to the color so much as they both look like they just came out of a panini press. Very squashed. That definitely hurts the GC more than the 86, but it ain't helping either.

Damn, the GC has one hell of a busy front end. It makes me appreciate the elemental simplicity - the honesty - of the BRZ's styling.

Agreed. It makes the BRZ look simple, non-agressive, cheap, and dated for some reason.
