Around here they are going for close to 30k for both the FRZ and BRZ. Pretty lame for 168WHP in 2012.

 

Here is a fantastic video review of the FR-S. I'm still not sold on the car mainly due to appearance and the last minute changes they made to the front and rear. Having said that it seems like a great car that I would enjoy to drive on the back roads

 

But would you pay almost 30k for one and wait several months to get it?

 

Not sure what that has to do me wanting to drive this ugly bitch on some back roads

You need to come to the PACNW for some of the back roads I'm talking about

 

I would have a hard time paying MSRP for a car much less more than MSRP. No thanks, I can wait or get something else if I couldn't wait.

 

Agreed. Great video, don't like the front or the back. And I hate the music (tracks with vocals).

 

Yeah PD, northern CA and south eastern OR were some fantastic roads. Once you start getting east in OR the road start turning out more like this:

 

Going East from just about anywhere on the West Coast will lead to roads like that. Does not matter if you go through Utah, Nevada or Montana either. All the main roads straighten out

Seriously though, the PACNW and NorCal have some of the best driving roads in the country The pics I posted above are Rowena Loop which in in Northern Oregon.

I got to test drive one and honestly I wasn't real impressed. I was thinking this would feel real similar to the 8 but to me the 8 seems way better in every way. I never thought I'd say this but frankly, for the price, I think I'd rather have a loaded mustang V-6.

 

Have to say that it does look a lot better than the 86. Haven't got a chance to test drive one yet though.
