Left Lane reviews the FR-S

Poor test driver needs to go on a diet - he complains of getting jabbed by the parking brake handle, and claims it is where it is because the car was designed for the right-hand drive Japanese market lol. He also feels the auto tranny suits the car better than the manual.

wow, lots of haters in the comments. They're all doing math comparisons (hp, 0-60 etc). I wonder why they don't get that someone would actually want a small, fun, nimble car? There is no set formula for the perfect car.

What an insightful comment.

Wow... Why do I get the feeling that even if the FR-S was trimmed in unicorn hide worked by cherubs, a soda-fountain was installed in the govebox with a straw that reached the driver's seat, and the car, umm... "gratified" you at stop lights, they STILL would have hated it.

Also, judging by the tone of more than a few of those comments, I'd challenge anyone to look me in the eyes and tell me racism's dead in America. Of all the stupid reasons to hate a particular car, that's gotta be one of the dumbest.

I... don't even... the comments... I...


Do those people actually exist? I mean the one guy tried so hard to call the design team "feeble-minded" but turned it into Feeble-mined. His follow up did the same thing. lol

The anonymity of the internet can bring out the worst out of the population. Though, its a rather sad day to see that even in these "modern" times, we're not too far from just 50 years ago. Oh well, bigotry is bigotry; I cringe every time I scroll down to read a few comments off Yahoo's news...

Ahh, Yahoo news commentators! Nothing else makes me think, "Hmm... maybe total annihilation of the human race isn't all that bad," like reading those.

Well to be quite honest he wouldnt be lying..

On a side note, why do people bitch SO much about the interior? Its not like your going to go out in your car sit in it and read a newspaper while drinking a cup of coffee.. jesus christ.
