IIRC Base price of the BRZ is going to be 22,000-25,000… ive seen some say starting at 22, and some say starting around 25, regardless, base 370Z was ~30k starting out iirc and a LSD was not even standard, the upper packages that included an LSD, sat nave etc was upwards of 35k Sat nav, and LSD standard for ~25k? Can’t beat that From what Ive gathered the upper range pricing is going to come from some styling package options and interior options such as leather bolstered seats etc. ---

I’m not trying to knock the car but I wouldn’t consider it “The most promising affordable import coupe in a decade”. The base Z in '09 was 29,900 (a little higher than I was thinking) and the sports package was an additional 3,000 which as far as performance goes adds the big brake package, VLSD and “syncro rev match” ---

Think RSX type s with the added fun of rwd similar weight and power specs significantly more torque and probably less peaky though. Not a drag racer but I bet it will be extremely enjoyable to drive. ---

When the 370Z first came out the base model was less than 4,000 more than this car for a whole lot more performance and 130 HP more. lol 4k more? Try 9-10k unless you love open diffs. 370 weighs about 500lbs more. Z has a center of gravity of 408mm. BRZ has 460mm. That’s lower than a 458 Italia and other super cars. And IIRC it’s polar moment of inertia is lower than a cayman s. Besides performance and fun factor, it has a shit load more practicality/room for wheels/roll bar/gold bag/groceries/hookers especially for how much more nimble it is Also it looks amazing. ![http://prolifik1.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/stanceworks-86.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/d/5d02c75e3249aad9c8b658c2e83e91d47234dfb7.jpeg) vid: [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/3/a369918175dbb45f21a7102947d6bcc84e56ecab.jpeg "HKSハチロクでD1復帰！HKS 86 (SCION FR-S) DRIFT!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJTr1sQ_Pzk) ---

I love 370’s a lot, but option for option, you’ll be paying ~15k more for a Z over the BRZ, plus i think the BRZ looks better, which I hate to say, but honestly the car looks money. ---

My comment was purely in reference to Vlad’s comment of it being the most “promising rwd car in the last 10 years”. Hence why I quoted it. Also I was refering to base price when released vs. Base price when released, again refering back to Vlad’s comment. Don’t get me wrong I’m looking forward to see what the car can do, I just don’t think it will really be a contender against the current crop of 30k+ sports cars like it’s aiming for and proclaimed to be. ---

On the second hand market these things will be in teens while Z’s will be in the twenties. Genesis coupe is in the same category, Z is not.
