Who thinks the FR-S looks like a Maserati?
 

Does anyone else think that the 2013 Scion FR-S looks a lot like a 2012 Maserati GranTurismo (worth $150,000.00 US)?

I do. :burnrubber:

I have used the Thumb app to see what others think our car is worth, and many think it is worth well over $50K. It drives like a $50K+ sports car as well.

Even the black part that wraps up around behind the car is there. Interesting. And, the spoiler looks a lot like the FIVE:AXIS design in the pictures. Cool.

Oh. See the bumps on the sides of the hood. Those are the same on the FR-S (almost identical). The shape of the car is nearly identical as well from a side view. The FIVE:AXIS front lip kit is going to add a wing to the front that looks similar to the center part of the front bumper on the Maserati. Perhaps we can call the FR-S a poor man's Maserati? I know the performance between the two cars has no comparison, but they sure both look high-end to me.

I saw a white GranTurismo about a month ago at one of my regular lunch spots. Given the kinds of cars driving around my area, I wouldn't rule out seeing it again. Hopefully serendipity will kick in and I'll have the opportunity to park my white FR-S next to it.

Please take pictures if you ever park next to it (for comparison purposes). ;-):thanks:

Yeah this thread needs side by side shot of 86 next to one.

I think in multiple aspects of the body are similar (almost too similar). But some aspects like the lights, front fascia, side skirts and such are too different. Very interesting to think that it's plausible that Toyota looked at the Maserati and ran with it!

So...who's going to be the first to attempt a Maserati headlight conversion?

:lol:

I have had two folks mention that they thought either it was or looked like a Maserati.

Ill get a side by side soon as i get my car. A owner of a local restaurant has one that i know well.

I could see why people would think it was made by them but it looking like a GT id say no.

Who's willing to bet at least one person will put Maserati emblems on there FRS/BRZ?

:drool: The lip spoiler makes it look so much more aggresive!

Just need to order Buick portholes from JC Whitney and your there.

I wouldn't put it past some 1. A local guy has Ferrari emblems on a NSX :bonk:

I want to see that White FR-S with blackhousings... Or BRZ headlights...

People were saying the same thing about the Gencoupe and Aston when the gen's first came out. Companies made the wing emblem for gencoupe guys to put on. /failboat

Totally similar, right? Maybe if you squint a little, drink a couple shots of vodka? Looks just like an F40, right?

Poor mans Ferrari :bonk:Similarly -

Sober:

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth... hahahaha

I need to drink Vodka.

I'm still taking the one on the top in this pairing. Much better car IMHO.

i think its similar to the jaguar xkr also

i remember a review (long ago) that mentioned the FRS/86 resembling a Maserati.

I have seen a lot of girls in Hollywood that look like models from across the street. And mid way thru the cross walk it appears that some one just hit them with a right cross.

The cost of the FR-s wouldn't by the wheels, tires, and brakes on the Maserati.

F40 best super car ever......says top gear?

Fenders/hood do look similar but that's about it

I'd say they look similar from a distance. Of course, one is quite a bit bigger than the other :)

Yea I remember that too..

It's called the 40yard Fakeout haha

Either that, or those girls are actually males. Given that it's Hollywood and all haha

The side view is very similar (on a smaller scale)
Classic GT line.

Good from far, far from good? Haha

I like this comparison because someone in my complex has a brand new Mas, so if I come rolling by in my sub-$30k car and can compare favorably that would be nice :)

We should all start comparing how Japan is shaped like Italy. Personally I think is a better debate. LoOk!

I always thought the body shape looked more like the Ferrari California than anything else.
