Serious question-- what makes you think a Genesis Coupe driver would be bitter? I believe they have a better-performing car, no?

I'm just wondering why it seems as if TC owners hate the FR-S. For me today was the tipping point as a white TC sped past and cut me off when there was no logically reason to switch lanes. Then slow down, wait for me at the light and rev...
i've noticed that ever since the FRS became available at dealerships there has been an increase of people selling used scion tc's.

this guy who just entered a 4 year lease on a tc a few months ago is looking for someone to take over his lease. he refused to reveal the reason.

the end of the video says the Lotus is As Tested $28000 and Base Price $20,000. WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU GET A LOTUS FOR $20000?

I've only had my car for about 3 weeks. So far I've had a few mustangs and hondas rev at me. Male TC owners will give me death stares at a stop light almost 90% of the time.

I feel like someone is going to throw a brick through my window. I try to park my car all the way in Narnia whenever I go into a store.

Coming from a Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track, I can assure you that it is not the better car.

Now I doubt Gen Coupe owners would be bitter. It's actually a very nice car, just not the same type of car as the FRS/BRZ. I still hate that there is even comparisons with the two, they are completely different beasts IMO (grand touring sporty car vs light weight dedicated sports car).

We saw the TC when we were shopping for the FRs and it looked interesting, we drove both and even my wife agreed the TC was not an option...

I have had a few TC's try to give me shit on the road. Most of the time the drivers are breaking their necks checking out my car.

I have a 08 tC now and love seeing the twins on the streets, they both look sexy as hell even in there stock form. I plan on getting one of the twins once I graduate in May.

Yeah I don't think it's universal. One of my friends used to own a 1st-gen TC (now has a 128i) and she LOVED my FR-S when she saw it.
