OK, fair enough. But did you read the quotes I posted in the thread from the recent reviews? I'm not relying on some kid on the interwebs or some fanboys trying to make themselves feel better about buying the FRS. I'm talking about these FRS reviews from these reputable (?) online sources saying that the FRS "may even surpass its Subaru twin", is "just a bit more fun", "a bit better-suited to those with as much taste for a well-carved apex and corner-entry tossability as for outright speed", "more playful", "more neutral at the limit", "notably quicker and faster than the BRZ", and that "more experienced drivers might prefer the Scion", and that "the Subaru...trails right behind".
These are quotes from these reviews, not from forum discussion.
And in response to uspspro, I don't see how the thread is ridiculous...if anything, wouldn't it be these reviews that are making these claims about the FRS>BRZ?
