Where are all the LADIES?
 
So there is a lot of males on here talking about these vehicles and owning them....I am just wondering where are all the women who are interested in the FR-S or BRZ? When I bring up this car to my friends they literally have NO idea what I am talking about, therefore I only speak to my guys about the newly released vehicles.

I plan to buy within a year or two, after I pay off my Scion tC. I am just waiting for the best timing on my financial schedule to purchase the FR-S. What can I say - I like to shop and pay off other bills (college) before I just get stuck in a loan once more.

Alright, so all your girls.....do you own one yet? Plan to? Can you drive stick? lol...and guys - what do you think about females owning/driving one of these cars? Too much horsepower? HA- not enough for me...but that's a whole other topic. Let's just say my left leg has more muscle then the other.

I want the manual whiteout FR-S. At first I preferredthe Raven but I think white is just more classy. Plus - it will match my other vehicle. I don't really plan to take it on the track or anything, just drive to work, events, other places and have fun living my life (while looking good in my new FR-S).

I just pointed two girls on different occasions, to the dealership for their pre-orders. Both are getting theirs sometime in July.
One even ordered a manual too. :D
One in Whiteout, and other in Ultramarine Blue.

So I know in Southern California, there are at least two I know who are female owners of Scion FRS.
Soon to join us along this epic growing group of owners. :D

Following are photos from our Club4AG's first FRS meet at a local gathering, where 7 Scion FRS did show up.
Unfortunately, the girls who ordered the FRS were there in person, but without cars yet...

4 whiteout, 1 Raven, 1 Firestorm, 1 Hot Lava.

Nice! Too bad I can't see the photos now (blocked at work) but I will definitely check them out later. Tell them to come join us on here!

My girlfriend is dying for me to get my BRZ! She drives a manual Impreza and loves my Audi S4 and Toyota MR2. Maybe I can talk her into getting one someday!

I would love to do one too.

there aren't any women on the internet

Bristecom 06-02-2012 06:49 PM

Let's face it, girls typically aren't the type to obsess over cars like guys do. But I think this car will appeal to many women. It's sporty looking, not overly powerful, fun, compact, and affordable. It'll never become Miata status with women though as it is that little bit more aggressive. But yeah, I think it would be cool to see girls driving this car and I would be interested to hear from them why they liked it enough to buy it over other new cars.

The FR-S in my profile picture is my wifes daily driver Monday thru Friday. For the past 5 years she drove a 2006 Miata. She said once you go small it is hard to drive anything else. As luck would have it her name was drawn as the First86 winner.

I doubt we'll see too many females gravitate to this car. It's not a convertible, so it's not going to pull anyone from the Miata, and Scion already has a car that's extremely popular with young women - the tC.
