Agreed. My understanding is that the entire auto industry is struggling to attract new, young buyers. To this demographic, owning a car may not be a necessity, or even desirable.

INHO, the BRZ/FRS is an excellent entry into the sport car field. Whether or not this platform, or this generation's interest, has any "legs", remains to be seen.

Just sayin'...........

At my last PCA HPDE at Bondurant's West track one of the instructors had one with proper wheels and tires and he had absolutely no problem keeping up with the faster (in a straight line) cars including driver's in the advanced group. Yes on the one longer straight pretty much everyone except for the 944s pulled away but he was able to catch up with most of them in the twisties.

In many ways the FSR reminds me of my old 944S2. That car was front engined, rear drive and had 208hp. Sound familar? I'm sure with wheels/tires and driver being equal the FSR would quicker then the 944S2. How much did the 944S2 cost back in the day? Well into the $40s. Add inflation to that and the FSR becomes a complete bargin.
