Yesterday I attended Industry Day at NAIAS. Unless Scion and Subaru decided to change up their attitude, the FR-S and BRZ are strictly off-limits to mere mortals. The cars are up on turntables with plexi-walls and there was no way in hell to get access to the car up close without getting thrown out by guards.

I'm kinda pissed right now. I did take pictures, but you've already seen Hachi's shots and there's nothing new to show you. For what it's worth, the body lines look great and have good flow and sex factor. The wheel gap is hideous and the wheel offset results in "Mustang Tuck". Correct ride height and wheel offset is mandatory immediately off the showroom floor. Why can't so many OEM's get a reasonable stance correct?

I can't even tell you how the car feels in terms of size because they were elevated and out of context.

Also, the Ken Gushi drift car is nowhere to be seen. Gone.
