FRS is barely larger than a Miata?
i was at my local Scion dealer today inquire about the FRS, the guy there told me they already received 15 refundable deposits for the car. the car will arrive late spring early summer, no idea on final pricing and dealer allocations. anyway, i asked him whether the FRS is similar to TC in terms of size, he said it's definitely smaller than TC and barely larger than a Miata, can anyone confirm this? from all the pictures i've seen so far, it's a good size 2+2, definitely noticeably larger than the Miata.

I think the tC is about 9" longer than the FR-S. 174" length vs 165". 106.3" wheelbase vs 101". Willing to bet that 5" comes straight out of the back seats though so there won't be much room for passengers.
