F*ck Nissan and their lame ass cars!

They need a BRZ clone to bring the magic back. The Z is nice but it's not practical enough for a DD and is out of the price range for many. And a performance FWD car... please that's so 1990's. RWD is it!
The BRZ et al is perfect in my eyes for someone who doesn't want to break the bank but likes a good performing car - that's not a Miata.

Which is exactly why I'm buying one.

I'm very jealous and I all of a sudden don't like you anymore... That is till the
day I get my BRZ.
And it will be the BRZ as it has a few more features in the base model than the Scion.

I may sell the WRX for a BRZ next year. Time will tell.

More info from my intel at Nissan Manufacturing, there IS going to be an SE-R version, but not anymore with the QR25. He didn´t give out more information, but suggested that may be boosted.

Either way it will have the sluggish, sneeze-that-never-happens CVT in it! How the hell can you Shift_ a CVT????

The new Pulsar coming out here soon is a 1.6L turbo.

I don't see how that article is accurate regarding the SE-R. I heard from a sales guy at Nissan as well as a few others that there will be an SE-R. If they don't make one, I basically consider Nissan a coward. Subyota was very bold in releasing their car. Nissan is having trouble releasing a car trim that has been around for 20 years?

I met a guy today who parked next to me at the super market in a blue BRZ. Beautiful car! He's in his late 60s and just retired. He told me his goal was to buy a proper sports car. He sure got one.
