Picked up a mkiv TT supra last week, its wrecked so gonna be my summer project.....still gonna pick up an frs though, with less down payment now, haha

I did, I bought a used '11 STI. Mod bug hit fast too!

I NEEDED something come June and there was no guarantee the FR-S would be available, or any left for the matter without waiting. Not a single regret though! I've wanted a WRX or STI since they came stateside years ago. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to get the FR-S eventually. I will be getting one in summer 2013, preferably a used one. And i'll definitely be keeping the STI!

For me its going to be between this and maybe an 07 or 08. I never like to buy a car within its first year of production considering the kinks that will need to be made. I just really like the design of the Z and the fact that its a two seater so I dont have to drive more than one person.

I've been really eye balling the GenCoupe, It came to a point where I almost bought it. I just love the interior and performance it just feels like I'm getting a better deal out of it since its the same price as a FR-S. But I'm trying really hard to hold off until summer to hopefully test drive the FR-S.

I'm on the same exact boat as you. I was also really, really close to buying it after I test drove the 2013 a few weeks ago. They even offered $500 below MSRP. But I kept telling myself, I need to test drive the FR-S before I make my decision. 6 more weeks to go!

i wonder if this is going to be the cave in car for what his hopefully a new wave of sports cars (come on nd)

I went to test drive a GenCoupe too, 2012 3.8 R-Spec. Really nice car and they took like $4,000 off the price just to try and get it out the door with the 2013's just now coming out. But I can't justify settling for a car that is (admittedly fun to drive) not what I've been lusting over for almost 4 years now.

I have to at least test drive the FR-S before I can even think about other cars.

Well, that and I have to question Hyundai's reliability.

I've been thinking about the Gen. coupe as well. I go on to other car forums just to talk about it. In fact, I have dirty fantasies about it. I spank it to the Gen. coupe brochures in the bathroom...oooh, just so sexy.

I mean, the only car that even comes close to the pure magnificence of the Gen coupe is maybe a Lamborghini, or god's gift to the automotive world, the Acura RSX. :bow:

What was I talking about again?

Yeah I ended up with a VW TDI. Two different vehicles I know but with Gas Prices rising and other things going on in my personal life I had to get something fuel efficient. Hopefully this car is still around when I'm done paying this ride off.

I think a clean low mileage RSX-S is still one of the best options on the market. I'd pick it over the Civic Si or Gen Coupe any day, especially when you consider the cost savings.

um, BRZ lol

I gave up on the hype and just last week got me a '12 Lexus IS250 with the F-Sport package in Ultrasonic blue mica. I could not be happier, I won't be missing on sunroof, automatic head lamps, HIDs, etc. The car is actually worth the money compared to the FR-S' lack of features and the crappy Scion dealers here in South Florida.

CoryUyede 04-23-2012 05:05 PM

More just for fun, but in the past 3 weeks, I've had Lengthy test drives with the Mustang V6/V8, Genesis 2.0t/3.8, Civic Si, MX-5 , '13 328/128.

For ANYONE thinking of the genesis coupe...and end up getting it, do yourself a favor and NEVER drive an FR-S after..you will regret your decision very quickly. I've had some pretty sporty and/or refined cars...the Genesis Coupe came off as Neither of these...very disappointing.

The V8 mustang had a fun factor to it..the Brand new BMW's have lost a little in "Driving Feel"...the MX-5 Was just a blast...but too damn small for a daily car. Civic was a little disappointing too.
