Yeah judging a cars worth based on its test track #'s / HP doesn't make much sense unless you buy daily drivers to race them for a living.

If the BRZ / FR-S are as good as the vast majority have reported there's no good reason to think 27-29k would somehow make them over priced.

I personally think it makes a lot more sense to base a cars worth on how it feels from behind the wheel vs. the #'s it happens to produce.

Plenty of cars produce far better #'s than the MX-5 for instance but few are nearly as fun to drive. This is probably going to be the case with the BRZ / FR-S as well.

Bottom line is that to conclude that the BRZ / FR-S are somehow too little car for the money isn't even coherent.

Before I were to decide one way or another I would have to personally drive the car myself. I'm not talking just around the block and back but really drive it.

I would never check off a car and or deem it "too expensive" simply because it's test track #'s weren't as good as some other's because test track #'s don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to evaluating how good a sports car is.

Oh as far as re sale value the BRZ / FR-S are expected to hold they value very well so that's another plus. I'm probably going to get a new MX-5 by around August though because nothing beats a convertible on a nice sunny day. That and text book old school RWD dynamics.

It's ok because all magazines rave about it so no need to test drive.

Yeah judging a cars worth higher because you can reach its limits earlier/easier doesn't make much sense because that is just illogical and dangerous to those around you on the road. We would appreciate it if you just drove like a sane person.

If the BRZ / FR-S are as over hyped as the vast majority have reports seem to exemplify there is a very good reason to think 27-29k would make them over priced.

I personally think it makes a lot more sense to understand that people have different opinions from you and you should understand that there is nothing wrong with this.

Plenty of cars produce far better #'s than the BRZ / FR-S for instance and many are more fun to drive as well. This is probably going to be the case with the Mustang 5.0 as well.[/quote]

Bottom line is that to conclude that the BRZ / FR-S are somehow WAYYYYYYYY too little car for the money is perfectly coherent.

Before I were to decide one way or another I would have to personally drive the car myself. I'm not talking just around the block and back but ON THE TRACK WHERE I LIVE AND DIE BY THE FUEL GAUAGE!!!!!

I would never check off a car and or deem it "too expensive" simply because it's test track #'s weren't as good as some other's because test track #'s don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to evaluating how good a sports car is. I would pick it up in secondary market instead.

Oh as far as re sale value the BRZ / FR-S are expected to hold they value very well because projetions are always 100% correct, amirite!!!! I'm probably going to get a new MX-5 by around August though because nothing beats those BAMF doors. That and text book old school RWD dynamics. I know I have been going on and on about this BRZ / FR-S implying that I might get one when it goes on sale this summer, but nope, MX-5 for me!!!
