To the OP... Every Scion owner I have come across has loved my car and given tons of compliments at the shows it has been in. Only people trying to race me have been in older Mustangs and 4th gen Camaros and its not from a lack of ricers around here.

My wife is a tC owner and its a wonderful car. I love driving it and always have. She was gracious enough to even let me autocross it because I didn't want to drive the bimmer hard since it was 10 years old. The last event I competed in, I beat everyone except the regional champion in a Cooper S (actually he handed me my @#$%). That little AUTOMATIC tC beat two RSXs, Focus SVT, and two Honda Civics among the "faster" H stock cars.

Is it in the same class as an FR-S? Absolutely not. Is it fair to even try and compare the two in an intelligent manner? Nope. Different cars built for different purposes purchased by different people. I understand how, as enthusiasts, people endow thier cars with powers that are more perceived that actual, but lets be real.
