There is apparently a big anti-FRS crowd. Then there's people who don't like Scions and people who don't like imports. The videos where people are complaining get more attention anyway. Whether it's pro-FRS people saying "hey look at this asshole" or anti-FRS people who watch it because it supports their beliefs, a video like this will get around.
I believe the word for a video like this is "trolling" lol. The reason why it offends so many people is because it comes across as bullying the car. If I made a video where I talked about only negative points of a Mustang or Camaro, of course those communities would be offended too. FRS owners aren't mad because what he's saying is true, they're mad because he's being a **** about it.
I'd also say that he has to work on his delivery. As a viewer who isn't familiar with him, my first (and only) impression is that he's just negative. I don't really have any reason to be on his side emotionally. People are saying that the video is sarcastic, which is fine, but in my opinion a video that is just one long sarcastic joke is just annoying to watch. Imagine if someone from the Top Gear trio made a negative review about the FRS. I imagine that would still be enjoyable to watch because I have respect for them and they understand delivery of jokes and use of sarcasm.
