I was pretty much on board the FR-S train until a few days ago, when I saw pictures of the FR-S and BRZ interior side by side. Plus rumors that the Scion wouldn't include HIDs turned me off (seeing as Scions are monospec, I don't think they'd be able to install HIDs outside of the factory). My current car has HIDs and Navi, so I don't want to buy a brand new car and downgrade, so I'm probably gonna go with the BRZ now.

I had really hoped that we'd have gotten the Toyota version (meaning the JDM 86/Euro GT86) since I wanted all the nice interior amenities + HIDs and I strongly prefer the Toyota 86 headlights and bumper.

Now the harder decision is between SWP and DGM...

suspension doesn't make a difference because it is VERY likely that I'll get coilovers.
