Also if you gonna talk about FR-S, prob better stating SCION instead of Toyota. Because, Toyota ver do come with ACC & push start... but not SCION ver. Autoblog is a famous auto blog site. Not only US ppl read the article. Good idea to make sure UK or other country ppl won't get confused between Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ & SCION FR-S.

That's just my 2 cents.

As for the rest, it was an interesting read
Yeah... That is one of the interesting issues that come up when writing for the "Internet" as the stories are read all over the world -- I tend to write as if only North Americans are reading the content (I'll be more mindful, as that is a good suggestion).

I drove the FR-S/86/BRZ in Tokyo in late November (test mules, including the Nurburgring car), so it was nice to spend time with it again in the States. Please let me know if you have questions, as I may be able to answer them. Don't ask my why Toyota has so many names for it, as it frustrates us too.

Whatever you call it, it's a pretty kick-ass car that is a blast to drive (I wrote on my personal Facebook page that it is one of my favorites under US$30,000).
