BRZ's look awesome.....your 128 looks like it has a makeup mirror for sorority girls to do their lipstick while texting while driving.

Sometimes the jerk likes to look pretty, too.

How about a 280z from the late 70s, before they messed the model up with electronic crap and GT trim. Dad's was yellow with tuned suspension and Mom didn't like how fast it went around corners.

and if i go full on bimmer owner, i can probably use the mirror to blow coke while the sorority sister inspects my sterling silver belt buckle.

not too closely, though. "hey, this isn't sterling! it's only plated!"

[davids]

Ok let's not get crazy now. They both have: two doors, four wheels, and an internal combustion engine.

I think you made my point. I didn't mean the details - I meant the overall shape.

i did buy the 1 series with the smallest engine....you expect me to swing for the real deal belt buckle? oh, and that isn't cocaine either baby. it's bath salts and baby laxative.

The 2000GT is shaped to encompass a straight 6 while the BRZ has a boxer engine that is almost wider than it is long. The shapes are different unless the likeness is "car with two doors."

which is why they should have looked to lancia and bmw and even audi and people that have made wide and squat super fucking sexy.....and not tried to incorporate shapes that only work for long lean and low cars....the car begged for an angular muscular look because of its engine and suspension lay-out. it should have not tried to hide that but embraced it's wide low engine architecture.

As Jalopnik knows, the answer is always Miata - more entertaining at all speeds. The only other competitor seems to be the Abarth. No, the Subayo needs to be wrung out, a la an M, to get any enjoyment outta it.

You know the hardest part about owning a miata?

Telling your dad you roller blade.

(My dad actually owns a miata and loves it.)

[jerk]

A fiero?

Wow.... Can I ban you for life? Even Steve Pucci wouldn't drive that if you payed him.

[AJPM44]

Yes he would, we did hot laps at Hampton Beach in it last Friday.

A dude I went to high school with bought one of the last Fiero's ever made. Had it put up on blocks. He was convinced it would be a collectors item. Fucktard.

My dad drove an AMC Matador with one functioning door (passenger side) and Honda Express scooter to work, wearing a suit and bringing home the bacon for 3 retarded kids. He'd love it.

Rollerbladers can change their lines an infinite number of times late braking a corner; there's only one line for a car that weighs 3200lbs. or whatever.

[lukasz]

A friend and I drove a Miata from San Diego to NYC once. In two and a half days. The engine exploded once in Denver.

[Mabouya]

I once drove my Alfa Spider from St Louis to a wedding in Minneapolis-St Paul and back. (Two days each way, because I stopped on the way up to see a Frank Lloyd Wright in Iowa, and to see Taliesin on the way back)

The engine did not explode.

Fiat now owns Alfa. Get the Italian.

I always thought these were cool...
