First time posting, but have been lurking for a little while. Im not sure why everyone is complaining about the price of the FRS. The 2.0 T Gen coupe might have more HP but after test driving it, the handling is nothing to write home about and the interior is not that spectacular. I felt my MS3 and wife's Infiniti G25 handled better for some reason. The weight of the 2013 Gen coupe was also a factor, it just feels and drives heavy.

For anyone thinking of getting the Gen Coupe just because of the HP, I suggest a long test drive. HP isn't everything, I learned this a long time ago when I gave up my Protege 5 for a more powerful car. Anyways, I think I am going to end up putting a deposit down for an FRS.

For the price, I don't think the Gen Coupe is that great of a value. The FRS/BRZ IMO is priced correctly.
