And if the automaker wants to compare their vehicle to another automaker, thats one thing, but when mags and/or people start making comparisons based on handling characteristics and ignoring everything else then what is the point of even making the comparison... It ends up being just a bunch words not evern worth the paper they are written on. Case in point, you mention the Z being able to hang with the GTR's on a certain track, so why don't we compare the BRZ to the GTR?

I guess my point is, yellow journalism is stupid...

Totally unrelated to the above, one of the first things the article says is this:

We’ve come to the Cote d’Azur to find out one thing. Has the Subaru BRZ earned its place at the top table alongside the likes of the Mazda RX-7, Nissan 200SX and Toyota Supra.

And then it never actually uses these cars as a comparison. Lol.
Id say people are butthurt. Everyones saying its a dumb comparo, that no way the z would loose.. blah blah. No ones mentioned, hey, if its unfair to compare it to the z, why is it fair tocompare it to the miata.??

and the reason you SHOULDNT compare it to the 200sx, supra, rx-7 is that those cars are like 10+ years old... The idea he was trying to convey, is that is this car, good enough to be thought of like those cars, many years later.

but. anywho.

Every article, review has said the brz handles great. That its really awesome to drive. They didnt say its the fastest thing out there. With the concept in mind, and what they were trying to achieve with the car, i'd say perhaps they did it right. I havnt driven one to say from personal experience, but ALL the reviews seem to say so.

I didnt say the z to a gtr is a good comparison, making the brz to gtr a good comparison.. your just reaching there. The point was, that given the circumstances, cars that you didnt think could, can keep up with other cars. DOesnt mean its a better car, or faster etc. Give me a indoor go cart race, and truthfully, id chose to race a toyota iq instead of a z on it. (or a go kart duh)

Does that mean i shuld compare new go karts to the z? ... no...

And if the mags, didnt make comparions against CURRENT cars that are in the same market segment, (not same class) what would they do?

They took 3 cars that are supposed to be FUN, sports cars that reward the driver. I think they picked the 3 right cars to compare.
