In a way, feeling "targeted" kind of annoyed me.

I ordered a BRZ because I like the added features and the brand as a whole has interested me since the days of the 2.5RS. But if the FRS was sold under Toyota's brand in the US, I probably would have saved a few bucks and bought that.

Forgive my honesty. I still like all variants of this car.
If it was sold under the Toyota brand (which I wish it was) it would not have been any cheaper than the BRZ.

And the BRZ is actually the same price as the FR-S if you add the bespoke to the FR-S. Well almost the same price, but you get the idea.

Toyota will see the light and kill scion....or they just might kill all the crap in Scion and make Scion the performance brand for Toyota in North America....sell the new Supra as a Scion.....and RWD sedan based off the FT-86..

Scion SR-S (Supra
Scion FR-S (86 coupe)
Scion FR-SS (86 sedan)
