If the BRZ was available in AWD, my parents would probably be on the waiting list for one... Been looking at the blah G37X coupe. I think I talked my dad into an early/used GTR as an alternative though, time will tell.

After close to 20 years of "wanting"/talking about getting a driver 911, and the full build of his old Vette, my dad dropped the idea of getting a 911 as the maintenance isn't worth it to him. Now he's thinking Japanese luxo/sports coupe.

The BRZ is about half a foot shorter. There's a pic floating around comparing profiles of BRZ, Miata, Genisis coupe, Mustang - the Genisis and Mustang being nearly the same length, while the BRZ and Miata are close. BRZ is also about 4" narrower that Genisis/Mustang.
