Curb weight is always how Toyota lists their weights. That's the exact way you pick the car up from the dealer.

No I completely agree that it is still lightweight, but the JDM spec model is reportedly 1220 kg (probably dry), which is 2689.

I guess I was hoping for something closer to 2700 instead of 2800. We aren't too far off, only 50 lbs or so.

So, then what was the important announcement? That some people can be selected to buy FR-S before the official release????

Hachiroku 01-09-2012 04:13 PM

Someone asked if the silver FR-S has push button start. It doesn't.
