Do people in the middle east stop maturing at 16 or something (street racing)? I can't believe that is an accurate description of all enthusiasts over there. There's a race track in Bahrain, one in Qatar and two in the UAE. There's nothing wrong with drag racing if you are into that sort of thing but keep it on the track.



Which is fine. Different people have different needs, wants, etc out of their vehicles.



Maybe in Japan, but in the US at least SCCA or NASA may eventually have a Spec FR-S type class, Toyota won't (they can't have the liability, just as Honda can't sponsor the track portion of NSX Expo or ITR Expo, but can (and does) help with other parts). The closest you'll come in the US to a spec autocross would be the Subaru Challenge but that's not really spec and would require a BRZ I guess :P



I can see turbo kits happening. I don't see SC kits happening as much. Not by Toyota either, but someone will.

This car will succeed, or fail, on it's own merits, nothing else. If Toyota/Subaru screw up the driving experience, it will fail. If they pull it off, it'll be a huge success (but it will NEVER sell in Camry numbers and I guarantee that Subaru/Toyota does not plan on it selling like that either)

The 2012 370Z with the sport package and 6 speed manual revmatch is $35,240...that is gonna be over $10,000 more than a loaded Scion FR-S. You have to get the sport package to get the Synro Rev Match...
