I just read the Car and Driver review, they rather liked it. Apparently it has in the vicinity of 200-220 hp, about 170 ft/lbs of torque. It supposedly handles very well though, they raved a bit about that.
"At this point, the BRZ appears to be the car we’ve been waiting for—the inexpensive, rear-drive sprite the industry has somehow managed to avoid making for generations. It’s the spiritual descendent of the old-school Z, BMW’s 2002, the rear-drive Celica, and all the other lesser saints of bygone days."
Gonna make a hipster claim here. I remember when the original toyota ft-86 concept came out.
I though it was pretty damn sweet, and the new one looks pretty good, though I prefer the original concept's styling. I personally don't want that massive spoiler, its pretty distasteful. Also, they originally said it'd be in the low 20k range, which seemed awesome, but now it's 28k. I guess the scion'll be a bit cheaper, probably have less options though.
