the difference of ~$1,300 *
could be enough for me to want the BRZ more than the FR-S for the extra goodies (xenons- love the night time clarity these lights give you while driving in the dark. Nav comes with a few cool features, and I won't need to use my phone). as of right now I'm shooting for the BRZ. while i do like the styling of the FR-S a TON better (front end treatment of the BRZ seems to change in every photo i look at- you can totally see they got Toyota's left overs and had to throw something together), I have issues with the FR-S being a Scion (wasn't always like that). i'm afraid if they decide to shutter Scion for poor sales numbers (which seems like a distinct possibility) then I'm stuck with a car with a badge that nothing good came of. if the FR-S were a yota then without question that would be the one i'd go for. this is my line of thinking for now, but after an eye full of the Scion Racing/GReddy FD FR-S that could change...who knows..???

all comes down to individual priorities in what you want/can live with. in reality the BRZ has barely any more extra equipment over the FR-S. I think the FR-S Release Series 1st edt. will come w/ equipment that will make it seem like a worthy alternative from a content/packaging perspective.
