I was there, it was the silver FR-S, but it was roped off so we could not get in/play with it.

however at the Cobb event I got to sit in a BRZ, I was very happy with it. 6'1" 155lbs, plenty of room. my friend 6'4" 190 also fit fin with ~3" or so of headroom.

Im feeling better after getting to see both of them in person. Would of been nice to sit in them.

I am becoming torn bewteen the two. I asked on the Suburu reps about the price and I was told "Mid" 20's, Unless they were just guessing like everyone else, It may be closer in price to the FR-S than thought.

My friend and I both sat in it on Friday morning, and got to get a good feel on the interior and exterior. That hood had to be one of the lightest hoods I've ever lifted. I'm 5'4, so this car is the perfect size to me (for my height anyway). If there was anything that I may have not liked, I'd say it had to be the steering wheel. And that says a lot if my only gripe is that. Other than that, I feel like it is going to be worth the price tag just by going on what mostly everyone predicts will be the final pricing.
