The right opportunity came along...
 

First, I'd like to point out that I normally hate to make this sort of thread, but I wanted to take a bit of time to thank everyone for their insight over the last year or so that I've been a lurker and a member of FT86 club.

As the title states, the right opportunity came along and I very painfully opted to trade out of my FR-S at no loss and picked up a new Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-spec.

I don't intend to justify or argue about why or how I ended up making that choice (partially a financial decision), but I do want to make a note regarding the fact that I loved every minute that I proudly owned my Raven Black Scion FR-S.

If you have any doubts regarding the purchase of an FR-S, believe me when I say that it is truly an incredible car, and if you can learn to appreciate it for what it is, there is no better sports car out there. The FR-S delivers on everything it promises, that is something I will never forget.

It's your money and your life so you can make your own decisions. I've barely had my FR-S a month and I'm already loving every moment of it. Congrats on the new car and I hope you enjoy it as much as you did your FR-S!

I pity people who don't have fun driving. As long as what you drive is fun than enjoy it!

Not a bad change!

As long as you can live without cruise control, that is... ha

Well, @R.S-HawK ..... sorry to see you go.

I've always enjoyed your posts.

I don't understand the "(partially a financial decision)" part of it .... but that's none of my business.

Enjoy that new machine ..... :thumbsup:

good bye, and congrats on your new car.

Trading in a year old car for a brand new car for financial reasons?

I do like the 3.8 Gen Coupes though, hope you enjoy it!

Now I'm curious about the deal you got. I like the 3.8 Gen Coupes, almost bought one but didn't like how "detached" from the road it felt. But heck on a bump in HP with the trade. Hope you enjoy

Not even one picture...

Good luck with the new purchase.

what's this supposed to mean? there's really no cruise control in the GC?

I wanted a 3.8 GC myself.
Test drove it but it was too big and heavy for my taste.
Not a bad car at all if you want more power and still need a back seat though!

Not on the R-spec!

e: That's only a small complaint unless you do tons of highway driving. Plus, if you get desperate you can have it installed for under $500 or so by a reputable shop.

I like the engine sound on the 3.8 R-Spec. Reminds me a bit of Nissan's VQ35. I bet the power is nice too, congrats!
