They do have great presence, and eat the BRZ/FRS all day long for breakfast in a straight line. But neither are known to be great at handling. I am talking strictly straight out of the box.
In that the 86/BRZ is again, closer to a MX-5, but then the MX5 is a 2 seater
So while we can say that the car could use more power, really it is unique in the market. Someone shopping for an American coupe isn't shopping at a Subaru/Toyota dealer, and someone buying an MX5 is buying a MX5

Are you really comparing a Challenger to BRZ???
I owned the BRZ for 6 years while i had my F80 M3.
Compared to the M3 even it feels like a go kart. It’s hard to explain how GOOD the car drives - you really need to experience it yourself. The inputs - steering, shifter, turn-in etc are some of the best in any price range. The seating position, outward visibility etc are also some of the best and all for under $30k.
The only downside of the car is the engine. I like that they kept it NA but i wish it had more torque and better sound.
I looked at MANY cars to replace the BRZ and couldn’t really find a nimble dedicated sports car that doesn’t have huge compromises. I upgraded to 911 as that and Cayman are really the only cars that give u that feel of small go karts.
