Yep, I can confirm this. I got a chance to run the FR-S on a small course today (think autox). Its handling felt in between an AP2 S2000 and NC Miata. Softer and less nervous than the AP2, but cornered flatter and more willing to rotate than a NC Miata.

If I had to describe it, it felt like a 2+2 Miata with a fixed roof, a bit more power, and sharper handling. I was impressed. If you like driving Miatas, I think you'll like the Toybaru.
