I took the opportunity to jump in the back seat of the FR-S. Your feet will definitely be pinned down under the front seats, but otherwise there's a comfortable amount of knee and head room. Back seat of iQ also not terrible.

Scion is really taking care of us...all the free schwag, excellent food, straight vip treatment all the way thru, and they answer any questions we have

I thought the car was down on power but i also had 2 people in my car, 2 nd gear all the way to 60 they scionguy inthe car with me was just laughing as i was tearing down the street haha,

Rear seat has zero leg room but who cares, in my short drive the car seemed really responsive, also the interior layout was just simple and to the point, very easy to figure everything out quickly, the seats are very supportive, and the steering wheel had a perfect thickness, they really thought this car thru

As im typing this i just got a knock at thr door, more free stuff,

License plate frame and a litle racer figurine, haha it never stops

For those who test drove it know if the tach/speedometer needle sweeps upon starting? Just curious!

Car was already running when I got in so didn't think to shut it down and start it. Maybe someone else noticed?

No needle sweep, I played with the black one indoors.
Im slowly uploading pics, fucking SLOOOOOOW wifi.
Drove the manual and I ripped on it, once you get it above 3700rpm its all smiles. Very different clutch, but the steering feel and shifter are spot on. Its actually more similar to the NC MX-5 than I thought it would be, but you do sit lower in relation to the hoodline so that takes a bit of adjustment. Seats are very well bolstered, but I feel like anyone larger than me (6'1'' 200lbs) would feel uncomfortable on moderate-to-long drives.

I talked at length during the bus ride with the scion dealership overseer guy (forgot his exact title) but he said the SUGGESTED retail price is just that. They expect the dealers to and strongly want them to stick to MSRP, but ultimately, even for first 86, they arent obligated to anything, and yes, they can sell for UNDER MSRP too (eventually when demand goes down).

He said that we should talk directly to dealers and get things straightened out with them.

Also saw the fiveaxis kit :P

Please post pics of five axis kit please

May not be any. I believe that was during the no camera/cellphone period. At other times it was covered.. Could be wrong. Looked great though.

Could have been turned off. There's a thread showing photos of the on/off options for it on the display of a BRZ, as will as the shift indicator.http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...078#post177078

None of these cars were production cars either. Someone needs to remember to just aslo tomorrow.

I liked at dinner how one of the first things Jack said was, "Thanks for not wreaking put cars!"
