In the process of washing some dishes and being yelled at by my wife, I had a epiphany

Someone post this on that other website if what I'm about to say makes as much sense as I THINK it does

So. The BRZ/FRS is what the "Z" was some 30+ years ago

Allow me to explain. Think about it, there was a ton of hype around an affordable, good handling sporty car coming from Asia from Datsun. Same thing is happening here with the BRZ/FRS

At this present place in time, I do feel the Z and BRZ/FRS are not comparable (most agree)

The Z has a Heritage, a large cult like following, the Fanboyism is deserved. Long time events like Z days, Z Nationals attended be people across all demographics, ages etc. Multiple documentaries, a long history in auto racing. It has reached Icon status

If Subaru/Scion stick with this platform, it could very well follow the same path the Z has and get to where the Z is now...having reached 40+ years etc.

So I had to check myself, step back and stop the hate a second. This car is starting off nicely its not in Z territory at the moment, but I think it could really go the same route eventually, time will tell. So at the moment I take it for what it is...something fresh in the market but I can go to sleep at night not worrying about it...for now.
