Somebody is bitter...

Yep, jack has just resorted to trolling because he didnt get picked for the first86 contest. And then furthermore, Toyota refused him a car. Im pretty sure Jack is a 20-something go-nowhere-in-life blogger with little in the way of social life anyways. That blog post of his made me honestly laugh out loud.

Probably my favourite part so far:

But this personal, grudge-holding paragraph came close:

Apparently personal preference/driving style is irrelevant in his world? And he considers personal-biased-based-journalism superior to facts and personal choice, of course.

Some of his metaphors had me laughing. :clap:

"I can buy an STi for similar money, crank the boost, and humiliate the FR-S"

ahh.. really? because last time I checked, the STi was a lot more money.

2007 STi's here are selling for the same as a new FR-S is. I'll take the new car with 0 miles.

I think that's what he was going for, this article was just entertainment!

Ohhh I get it now, he's a comic, not a journalist of any sorts. :clap:

As a recent college-grad living with his parents and leasing an FR-S while paying student loans, I take offense to this review >_>

Does he post on here at all. I've got a question or two for him.

I want to see what he said but I don't want to give his website any traffic if it's as bad as you guys are saying

Eh, it doesn't look like he gets alot of traffic anyways. One more clickthrough probably won't matter.

I get what he's saying though. My old '88 Toyota truck had a 22R-E and damn I miss that thing! Popping the hood to see the foil sticker too! He is right in that matter, those engines were bulletproof.

I too wish it was 100% Toyota and wished Subaru had nothing to do with it.

I checked it out, not worth going

The guy says too many negative things about the car and the people he perceives to be driving them for me to consider this an impartial review. Clearly he has a bug up his ass, and the previous posters have provided a plausible explanation. He doesn't HAVE to like the car, but at least provide an impartial review.
Oh well, I'd say the overwhelming majority of reviewers loved it so I guess I won't second guess my preferences.
