Had the opportunity to sit in the FR-S yesterday. It was much nicer than I had expected with soft touch materials everywhere. The buttons by the transmission had a nice matte brushed aluminum that surprised me. Aluminum pedals and door sills were a nice touch and a surprise for a "low spec". One bummer was that the red accents (all the stitching and the red areas on the seat) are being removed for the Canadian production model. Another nice surprise was the font used for the climate controls didn't look as bad as I thought from the photos. Overall I came out of there impressed and feel better about getting the Scion vs. the Subaru. The grade of materials used is far beyond the rest of the Scion lineup so I won't miss my Lexus too much when I trade it in.
