Yea their acceleration tests are way off. They had an automatic Scion TC smoke a manual FR-S.

At sea level a manual FR-S at does 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. A manual TC does 0-60 in 6.9 seconds. I don't know what the automatic TC does but I highly doubt it's faster than the manual TC.

I'm not saying the FR-S is really fast but they should at least drive the cars at sea level before they tell the world the car is slow. Especially when the FR-S is more affected by the air pressure than the lower revving TC. Most people are not living in the mountains.
