Wow ... Who would have thought it ... :0

Wheels car of the year 2012



Nice One ... !

I would've thought it... haven't driven one, only seen in showroom, but for the price they charge they're jaw-droppingly good. Could easily have asked $10k more without problem.

And they've left themselves room to move on performance and price (read:profitability). With only a naturally aspirated engine, can't wait to see what a factory forced-induction does- hope they don't overprice it to compensate.

A classic of our time.

Now, just to wait for Subactive (if allowed) to start his blah again...

if that is the Toybaru ....seen one in a showroom and had no time to give it, seen two on the road - last one screaming......if not, just ignore me - that link did not spell it out to me

I saw a BRZ over the weekend in melbs, looks super mean and slick from the front and with the tail light design as they are, well, it's pathetic I thought

I think you're right though Patrick, a classic of our time!

Cheers

Tim will be stoked...

Well, more stoked.

Gotta be sweet having one of those.

Ha - No problems here, not that you'd notice anyway ...

P.S. - I've added bit more to the header for your gratification ...

Cheers, Bantum.

OK - that Wheels ! Gratified They must have done a good job with the engine development - word is one of the rally guys has one to play with and I'm guessing his association with Toyota, it is not the BRZ badged one, rumoured to have only extracted less than 10 kW with exhaust changes.
