The prices are a bit higher than before, but for what your getting... its a good deal...
However, the FR-S is suppose to be cheaper than the new gene... so base prices on that
I'm gonna be buying the car as a daily commute, so i'm leaning more towards the gene cause its also a bit more roomy (hardly) ... but if i'm gonna tune it out... FR-S Hands DOWN!!!... i'm guessing the price difference would be around $3000 min due to the difference in the tech and BHP... and if i spend that on tricking out the ride... track days against a gene would be like a race between the roadrunner and penguin!!
