Do we have a video review list started anywhere? If not, it'd be nice to have and throw this one in there:

"The engine and exhaust notes are actually pleasant to hear, unlike dubstep, but I’d be interested to hear what it sounds like once you’ve opened it up with an aftermarket exhaust."

Hi Hachi would you mind adding SUPER STREET Magazine's review to the list in your OP? Thought it's a very good one too!

Have any of the reviewers who have driven both cars noted a difference in the driving characteristics of the FRS v the BRZ? Are we to expect any difference in their configurations?

A few have made mention of the different configuration, but until there is a side-by-side test on the same track under the same conditions, no one can really say what the difference is.
