I say: I'm glad I have my '14.
Ford has lost focus by putting their tech development and green agenda above their QA department and client base's desires. They would rather eschew reliability and their customer's wishes of a V8. A survey here revealed a 90+% V8 consensus, and their joint build of a POS transmission shows they did little in the way of research on joint builds, such as the BRZ. Joint builds save money at the cost of reliability. Ford is moving further into a position to only celebrate themselves, brag solely to their competition, and leave their base clientele further and further behind. Few millennials can afford a truck like this, and I venture to say the hard working Americans that can, will soon begin to realize that too much reliability is lost for the sake of tech gimmickry and Ford's green agenda, thus turning back and revering these Raptors that are normally aspirated, V8 driven, and devoid of overbearing technical nannies. While some will look at my Raptor today and immediately acknowledge a first gen, I will see something first and foremost, entirely: A farewell present.
