By god, if there's one thing American's can do better in cars than anybody else... it's cup-holders! NOBODY can come close to matching us in that category!

But then again, there's very few countries that rely on their cars as much as we do. Not a stretch to say some of us live in our cars.

Right on. Completely different kinds of pleasures, but both choices make sense to me.

Indeed, I faced a similar quandary before I ordered my BRZ. I drove a 2011 V6 Mustang from coast to coast last year, and enjoyed it a lot -- was most seriously thinking of buying a 2013 Mustang GT at the end of this Summer. The GT's shove and exhaust note are truly intoxicating -- and therein lies the problem. To enjoy a big V8's power as much as I would like to, I have concluded that I might sometimes be tempted to drive faster than the law allows. Don't want to do, so my goal with the BRZ is to have a different kind of fun -- on small roads, at lower speeds.

Enjoy your car -- it's a great one!

This is the conclusion I have come to as well. Both are good choices, serving different preferences.

You can get ventilated seats in a $32k Dodge? Mutha-f*****!

You gotta spend a minimum of $60k to get an Audi with that option, haha
