This is the next car in line to replace my WRX when it eventually happens.

Without seeing the final production model, I'm going to have to hold off on making a deposit...until I st least see what the BRZ looks like on Sept. 13th. That will give me an idea of what to expect..i hope. I will say that the guy who already made his deposit is a brave soul.

For me it all comes down to the FR-S and BRZ specs then stack them against the Accord and WRX to choose which one I really want most.

@MannyO
Clearly the Toyobaru is gonna have better weight management vs. the accord. I'm just saying as a cautious buyer when all the general facts are finally displayed I will choose which I'll favor most then proceed on from there to see how they perform. I don't plan on tracking either Subaru or Scion right from the start and the Accord (4cyl. coupe) I simply like as a casual car thats all.

I know what you mean. The lack of info is maddening but on a lighter note, there's only 75 days left until Tokyo

"Remember when BMW 2002 and Datsun 510 rewrote history on how small cars should also be fun? And remember how 65 Mustang was smaller but oh so pretty to look at? How the Beetle redefined how easy things should be to maintain and keep running? How shocked we were to see an MR2 appear out of nowhere from Toyota boasting a DOHC engine midship? When CRX redefined how fast a FWD can go? When Lexus LS first came into being and set in stone how a V8 sedan can be economical, ultra silent, and unbelievably fast?

Thinking back on all these events from product design and advancement of how we think of certain cars, how it's invented lifestyles around them...

Well Tada san and his team, CEO Akio Toyoda, and many passionate souls dedicating their time for 5 years. TOYOTA SPORTS CAR IS BACK and from the details of what I got in a 4 hour meeting over dinner, every specifics, every detail... I witnessed the final production version, last night, over 4 hour talk with Mr.Tada.

This car will ROCK YOUR WORLD... FT86... I will bet my soul on it. There I said it!!!!!!!!!!!" ~ Moto Miwa
^^I have a feeling it won't disappoint.

Just let Falmouth Toyota know about my interest in buying an FR-S, they are gonna call me about a pre-order after the Toyko Motorshow when they get more info and I finally decide if I'm gonna get one. I'm so excited.
