My Next Car
My 1990 Nissan 240SX was 2,684 pounds, with a 2.4 liter truck engine making a measly 140 HP, with a 5-speed manual. It was boatloads of fun though, with a perfectly chuckable, well-balanced RWD chassis.
This 2013 Subaru BRZ (and its Toyota/Scion sister) looks to come in at 2,689 pounds, with a 2.0 liter flat-4 making 200 HP (about what my GTI does), with a 6-speed manual. And while I haven’t driven it yet, I’ve seen plenty of video to know that I’ll look forward to giving it some opposite lock fun.
Nissan, I don’t care if the 370Z has a lot more power. Hyundai, I don’t care if your Genesis Coupe looks better (arguably). Ford, as much as I once enjoyed one of your Mustangs, it was no sports car. Subaru and Toyota, you may just have one more buyer whenever you get this thing in showrooms…
