hahaha according to him the only thing wrong with the FR-S is the lack of satellite radio

hmmm now if only one of these cars had it standard... :)



pssssst...BRZ does....



but joking aside he had nothing but good things to say about the FR-S which is music to all of our ears...or eyes

I'm pretty sure it is on the BRZ, at least the tuner part. That makes the BRZ perfect. :thumbsup:

haha i know :) I just added that to my post. HD and satellite radio come standard on both trims!!! :D

A cute puff piece. Now I think the magazines are just fishing for FR-S hype attention. We aren't going to stop reading your blogs for non FR-S content just because the car is out. I am already sold fellas, you can stop now.

I hope it's more because these journalists really just genuinely love the car.. maybe I'm naive though :)

That the Bespoke is $849!!! I think a rip off for what you are getting.
Oh and no option for the HIDs..(This is really the only thing the FR-S needs!)

That's really is all I don't like about the FR-S but radios can be swapped out...can we say pioneer app radio 2 for $399?

But you can't do bluetooth audio stream with this unit, so be forewarned...

But if the FR-S is really 6.2 secs and the BRZ is 7.2 secs....hmmmm

Somebody needs to do a side by side USA test.....

?!?!? Where'd you find these numbers?! Was the BRZ an automatic? I saw that the BRZ was slower by about a second around a race-track (Tsukuba, I think), but to 60 mph? They need to redo that test, because that can't be right.

-TuxedoCartman,
(who just passed up an opportunity to get in a dig at those damn BRZ drivers who drone on and on incessantly about their HID's and navigation! :thumbsup: )

I was semi unsatisfied with my radio, the bespoke was tempting, but after seeing this I might just go aftermarket. I didn't know headunits like this had drop in price so much.

That BRZ number is incorrect. Although, I believe it was Insideline who got that number. The BRZ is in the low 6 second range.

Figured it had to be. I mean, there's no way there can be THAT big of a difference in acceleration, not when the biggest mechanical difference between the two is a relatively minor suspension setup.

I've seen 6.3 and 6.4 for the BRZ.

7.2 was Edmunds I think.. They tend to be slow :)

Honestly, I'm going to be replacing the stock stereo immediately, anyway, so I really don't care about that. The only thing I would have liked to see on the FR-S would be the HIDs.

The only thing OEM sat radio ever gave me was never ending sales calls from Sirius.
