Re: BRZ vs Miata
I couldn't wait for the BRZ to come out. The next car would have still been subie had they hurried up

Re: BRZ vs Miata
Quote- That depends on how you've adjusted the seat from the owner's position. This is another shortcoming of the BRZ - 6,000 projected available?
Incidentally, Miatas are also available today... End quote. And how many SVXi did they make per year? Eh? There were plenty of those to go around. |

Re: BRZ vs Miata
Anybody else notice the compression ratio? 12.5:1 that's nice. With direct injection gasoline engines (2 and 4 stroke) starting to make headway I wonder if in 20 or 30 years the BRZ will be in the same boat as the SVX, I mean back in her day 10:1 was HIGH.

Re: BRZ vs Miata
I'm 99% sure that I will pre-order a BRZ this weekend. 1% is deciding what color.
Gonna retire the svx from daily driver duty at 300k. I will hit 297k tomorrow.

Re: BRZ vs Miata
Babies don't walk they crawl.. Is that what Subota is doing to catch up to old technology?

The article's comparison is a bit of a desperation measure, though - there's nothing any shade of close in the market otherwise. I just hope that... Quote:

Re: BRZ vs Miata
Is anyone going to hold off judgement on the BRZ until they see what the Scion Fr-s is all about?
I'd be more interested in a comparison between these two. .
