Motor Trend "staff impressions"

Positive to say the least. Sample comment:

Would I buy an FR-S over a Miata? Absolutely. It’s just that [much] more grown-up and easy to live with.

This one is my favorite so far!

....The more i read quotes from opinionated journalists..

the more incorrect information i find..

Can someone explain to me, how 23,470+dest is more expensive than 24,200+dest?

Or is this guy just an idiot? granted it's close enough to really not matter but why say something that's just plain incorrect to end it on a "Wow you look like an idiot now" note?

A 2012 Miata with a Limited Slip Rear Differential is $26480+dest.

KeepGuessing 04-25-2012 05:25 PM

so a 2012 + options = more expensive......

Amazing..
.
because this car + options = more expensive..

fancy that.

Are you mental? This car comes standard with an LSD. If you compare to Gen Coupe you need to add the Rspec since that has LSD. If you want to compare to a v6 mustang you need to add the track pack to get the LSD. Same with Miata, Elise, s4...

Dont compare other cars based on one option. No lsd in gen coupe, so what, no turbo in FR-S. See how pointless that is.

I'd rather have the LSD.

Lol, turbos and LSDs are very different things...

that's why he posted what he posted. no point in trying to configure a gc with things an fr-s has or vice versa because on a base level, they're too different.

Indeed and the FRS does not have one of those.
The same way a base Gen Coupe does not have one of those.

Genki is spot on. The Gen Coupe can get both with the check of an option provided by Hyundai. Which of Scion's current options get you that turbo ;)

Yes, this statement is true.
