Consumer Reports Top Picks 2013 - Sports cars
 
I usually don't care about what CR says, but anyway:

Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ
If you take your driving fun seriously, these almost identical twins were built for you. Co-developed by Subaru and Toyota, which builds Scion vehicles, both are exhilarating to drive, with super-sharp handling, excellent braking, and ample acceleration. Other draws: impressive gas mileage and reasonable sticker prices. Yes, they are purebred, rear-wheel-drive sports cars, with a jittery ride, noisy cabins, and small rear seats. So Camry lovers might want to cruise on by. FR-S $25,025; BRZ $27,117.

Is there anyone who doesn't love atleast one of the twins. I don't think so and if so its prolly just cause the dont have one and their wife won't let them get one. Lol.

Consumer Reports really has changed. They used to write car reviews as if they were comparing laser printers.

This car has racked up accolades and rewards like I've never seen before. I'm still in disbelief sometimes that they made it.

I saw that on the news last night, it's great (especially for resale) to make the list in spite of all the finicky little fixes and TSBs.

Pretty impressive. Of all the magazines out there, I thought CR would have the hardest time "getting" the FR-S/BRZ. I thought they would have dinged it for missing rear doors, being RWD, small rear seats/trunk, noisy, stiff, and low. Basically all the reasons we love it.

Times are changing I guess.
