It almost leads me to believe they will can the scion version on the next gen frs move it to toyota and do their own engine....thus no desire to fix this one......just seems they wouldn't want to lose sales if they planned to keep this around for 3 more years. Sheesh, I can't remember the last time a toyota/scion was listed as unreliable by consumer reports. I'm so sorry you guys are going through all this.
It is a shame. I've been waiting about a year for this issue to get resolved before pulling the trigger on a BRZ. Not waiting any longer - getting a 2014 Mazda 6. (The BRZ was going to be my mid-life crisis car, the 6 is much, much more practical).
