I'll give it another go next week, just to make sure I didn't get a bad one or drive it on a bad day, but I took a BRZ out the same day, and found the ride less harsh then on the scion. I haven't chosen yet, and I'll take them both out again, but right now I'm leaning towards the Brz.

So, my question is, do they use the same paints? I went around back home and looked at the scions in all shades, (have a fine arts degree. Shades of colors are important to me.) I noticed the asphalt shade had a textured feel. I was leaning towards black. If I go to the BRZ I might have to rethink my color choices, and there don't seem to be a lot of BRZs in the LA area.

Different paints for each? Or same factory/same paints?
Same exact paint for BRZ and FRS, they are made in the same factory, the only differences are the colors which are exclusive to each car like Ignition Silver( not to be confused with Argento) and Hot lava is only to the FRS, the BRZ has it's World Rally Blue. Scion just likes to name them differently to differential themselves.
