This might sound stupid but sorry....

me n my friend keep on having arguements over this car lately, ALOT. He tells me Scion FR-S is a piece of shit, Subaru is better and Toyota. I keep on telling him Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86 are the same car, there is hardly any difference between them. I know Subaru uses a different suspension on there BRZ that makes there handling better, but whats the difference between Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86. Why doesnt Toyota sell the car under there name? i know this is a stupid question, but forgive, i want to know alot about this car and so far doing a research doesnt help, i havent found a perfect answer that i can use against my friend theory lol.

Your friend is an idiot, and you need friends with better things to do than argue about cars.

I'd tell him to do some actual research before talking out of his ass. If he's talking shit on a car based on badging he is truly not an enthusiast. BTW how old are you guys to be arguing about such petty stuff?

There are a lot of little differences.
The short answer is - "Nothing"
The longer answer is - aesthetics such as the headlights, corner lenses, rear housing reflectors, knee pads, rear view mirror, navigation, keyless entry and start, interior colors, name, wing, etc....
The longest answer is - probably in this thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8954

Yea, your friend is right - these cars are pieces of shit. Time for you two to move on to your next point of discussion - McDonalds or Burger King or which company makes the best video game controller.
See ya!
