I wish there was an option for the Limited trim to come without a spoiler, but I can live with it.

*Shameless Plug* I finished a little long post on my thoughts on the BRZ at my personal blog. Here's a quote:

I’m not gonna say that one car is better than the other. It’s literally different strokes for different blokes. The WRX is a great car, and more than enough car for a great many people. But for me? No question, the BRZ just feels that much more special. I tell people this: the WRX is an economy car with mustard shot up it’s bottom. The BRZ was built from the ground up to be a a machine of “pure handling delight”. And there’s an inherent feeling in both cars that signify this. In the end that feeling the BRZ portrays is just priceless, and something the WRX or any hot-econo-car can’t portray (although the M3 and 1M say otherwise, and I do have to agree with that). Many have comapred the BRZs ethos to the Porsche Cayman and Boxster, and some go so far as to call the BRZ just that: a budget Cayman. I can’t make that claim, I’ve never driven either (anyone wanna help with that?). But if the BRZ is only half as good as a Cayman, then the Cayman must be one HELL of a car.
