Yup, but I'm probably going to need to see an FRS first I haven't decided between the two. I just want the most affordable one don't really need the extra of the limited for me. SO BRZ premium or FRS :)

Yeah. both BRZ & FRS going to have different suspension setup, so it'll be different feeling for both cars.

Yup and I'm in no hurry to buy, I hope some of these guys will take me with them during their test drive. Even in sitting in it I could learn a thing or two. I might be the last of the older members to get a car.

I just came back from the show and it was pretty much empty so I asked the guy if I could check out the inside and he unhooked the velvet rope and I felt like I was going into an exclusive club, the BRZ club. I sat in the car while we talked about the car, even though I read everything about it already. The guy was really cool and laid back. The seats were perfect as was the low seating position. The car was an auto but it was still nice inside, alcantra seat inserts and no buttons on the steering wheel. The guy said the price was going to be around 25k.
I also went and talked to the Scion reps and they were just as po'd about not getting the FR-S for this show, he said it went to the Chicago show since they get more
press coverage there.
Anyhow, I'll post pics later when I get them off my phone. They're pretty much like all the ones that have been posted.
In closing, I have to say the interior was really nice and the c0ckpit was perfect for a track car, everything was perfectly in hands reach. I'm 6'1 220 and fit perfectly. I can't wait to get this car!!!!
