What have people thought your FRS/BRZ was? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I was stopped at a security checkpoint on my navy base and the rent-a-cop asked if it was one of those 100k nissan things. GTR? I'll take it. Most of the time people just ask what it is.

they just ask
im surprised that theres people that still dont know what this car is/never seen one, its been out for over a year already!
this car gets way more attention than my last car that was almost 60k

Kostamojen · 10-13-2013, 02:54 AM

Celica, Tiburon, new Z car, and a Ferrari.

I had a guy and his son in a 911 convertible today staring at my car wondering what it was... I'm curious what they thought since they were looking more at my car than I looked at his $100+ Porsche LOL!

Ninjin · 10-13-2013, 03:14 AM

I was asked today if it was a Tesla.

No really, and by a guy manning the gate at a local track. I was kinda dumbfounded.

Sent from my GS4.

Somebody thought mine was an rx-8... smh...

At night from a distance following, the tail lights could pass for a Ferrari 458, from what I've had more than once. The guy who pulled up at the lights next to me was disappointed to see closer up that it wasn't the 458, but still liked the look.

Anthony · 10-14-2013, 12:57 AM

Well, at least he was disappointed about it not being a 458. I've seen several people on the Lotus forums say people have been disappointed their Elise/Exige wasn't a corvette.

I have customer come in my shop the other day and she found out that I got rid off my 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa for a sports car. She told me that it is a nice looking car and told me it kinda looked like a Mitsubishi eclipse that is in production now. I'm thinking bitch this the legendary reborn Toyota e86 dammit. Lol.

Celica

Enraged21 · 10-25-2013, 07:55 AM

"Is that the new 370z?"

"I thought that was a new lexus."

"That genesis coupe is sweet bro!"

"It looks like a baby ferrari."

"WHAT?! THAT'S A SCION?!"

Lolol. I had a guy in the new carrera 911 breaking his neck while looking at it. I was breaking my neck looking at his car.

Enraged21 · 10-25-2013, 07:55 AM

It's crazy how much attention we get, even if we are still bone stock.

Two weird ones, I had the first of these in a Pennsylvania hillbilly town:

1. This was the local Toyota/Scion dealer (who I didn't buy the car from cause they couldn't get one): took it in for the warranty CEL flash and my invoice said SCION SUPRA !

2. The local convenience store a guy stopped me and said nice car is that the new BMW? I was confused and speechless. Then later I see what I learned was a Z4 M Coupe frequents that station. I was unaware that model existed having given up on BMW 15 years ago. But I guess they have similar lines.
