If it had a bit more storage, we would have grabbed one last week for my son instead of the tC. Enjoy your ride. Gold CCW wheels would look nice.

It's shallow, but it's purely cosmetic:

I just like the looks of the Subaru MUCH more. The changes are subtle, but sometimes that's the difference between "Ohhh, and "ahhhh".

Didn't realize I was -- it's priced right at it's competitors, so I wouldn't say steep.

Gotcha, I don't think Toyota or Subaru are known for making good looking cars. The hype wasn't a beautiful car, it was a cheap light weight rwd, so I was just wondering.

Yeah it is super tight inside, Gold CCW does sound like it could be sexy.

Makes sense, was just curious The Subarus are hard to find, they are releasing I believe 6,000 of them this year vs. the 25,000Scions. I wouldn't mind a WRB BRZ Limited though

I dig 'em.

You mention FI, how have they responded in the field with just bolt-ons and that high compression?

I want to like them. But they're just so....meh. I'm sure they're great cars, but they just do nothing for me. Maybe I need to drive one, but being a person who loves a convertible, I'd have a hard time choosing one of those over a MX5.

All the charactoristics are there for an amazing performer but I'll reserve my opinion on that until I drive one.

As far as looks go, I have seen the Toyota version and the Subaru version side by side and I think I like the Subaru better. Both cars have pretty decent lines. Nice purchase.
