I hope Scion sees this and builds an FR-S comercial around it.

Thanks for that.

compared to an frs/brz, the McLaren is way too heavy and lacks road feel. Handling for the 12c is SLIGHTLY better than the frs/brz. Definitely not worth the price tag.

No interest in the new Mclaren. After the F1 they bore me.

yeah

i mean any car over $100 000 is pretty much crap

lamborghini = draws too much attention
gtr = just a nissan
porsche 911 = too much brake dust

i can go on and on

for $30 000 buying an frs or brz, it's just as fun as most exotics

Came up on them so fast I had to get the pic before they were left in my dust! Probably the first time ever my phone came out of my pocket while driving.
