It's just too bad that those things are not available on the FR-S. It would be nice if they came up with a limited edition like the Series 10 or the TRD although yellow would not do it for me.
I do prefer the front bumper design of the FR-S and that it does not have a wing.
So I am not focused on owning a Subaru. A Scion would do fine too although I would rebadge it to a GT86.
I have been to the Toyota dealer in Kingston once and I was not impressed either. I usually deal with Toyota in Brockville for parts. A shame they do not offer Scions. I can order everything for the Lexus and a lot for the Land Cruiser. The HiLux is too old so I have to source the web for it. They are decent although they dropped the ball once with a recall service performed on the FJ Cruiser.
I also know someone at Tony Graham Toyota in Kanata. I might pay him a visit to see what my options are there. They do Lexus too but I have no experience with them. I am overall not very impressed with Lexus dealerships in general. They push the wrong buttons imo. I am more tech focused and they concentrate more on the luxury experience. They also look down on you if you didn't purchase the vehicle there, at least that is what I experienced at Lexus Kingston. I guess Kingston and I don't get along in the automotive scene.  |
Should you decide on a FRS, I purchased mine at Whitby Scion and the entire process was painless and got a great deal to boot. There's also a Subaru dealership down the street should you want to take a look at the BRZ as well.
