Two types of people buy FRS, but only one type buy BRZ
 
There are two types of people who buy the FRS:
1. the ones that like the FRS
2. the ones that can't afford the BRZ

There's only one type of people who buy the BRZ:
1. the ones that truly like the BRZ
(... and maybe the ones who can't afford a Ferrari)

I only bought it because I'm waiting for my koenigsegg to be delivered.

I can't afford either, so I'm sticking with my family car. :P

something about a mustache?

I'd say that's somewhat accurate...but I think you need to add to the BRZ crowd, people who wanted the BRZ upgrades and were lucky/bold enough to negotiate the price down to the FRS territory.

I bought an FR-S because the BRZ's front end is ugly as hell, and so is that thing they call a spoiler.

Not to mention overpriced HID's I paid half the price for in an entire kit for my car with a ton more useless interior options. The list goes on.

Heated seats.. in Texas? Nope
Fog lights? Eh, I'll get the aftermarket kit when it's available, no big deal.

Easily swapped, plus the GT-86 comes with the spoiler whereas the spoiler is optional in Japan for the BRZ.

I want an FR-S front bumper for next winter. Then I have to get the JDM fog light kit and all those fun parts. It would be fun, though!

Also, the HEADLIGHTS are expensive, not just the HIDs.

Puddle lights, lit vanity mirrors, dual-climate control and leather/Alcantara are nice.

Personally, I didn't want to be associated with Scion, but wouldn't have minded if it was just a Toyota.

If I lived somewhere warmer and was mostly planning on taking the car to the track, I would've been more tempted to get the FR-S.

You need a third kind who bought the FRS...Those who know bullshit when they hear it and don't like getting screwed.

I started my search at the Subaru dealer but it was so slimy that I just slid on over to the Toyota lot.
