Breaking: standard Scion FR-S / Toyota FT-86 model and aero kits revealed

[adprokid]

The mk1 was just perfect for me, but now i am disappointed with the production model, i won't force my self to accept buy it, i am glad that most of the you guys dig this car, but i am still confused after all the hype that was made.

Is it just me or does it not look exactly the same as the brochure (minus the audio unit)...

PS - I liked the brochure and I like the actual pic, as well

It looks like they did include the ability to use CDs too. I'm also sad it's not a flat bottom steering wheel but I'm just nitpicking cause it's so good!

Looks like the same stereo in my wife's 4-Runner - I think it was manufactured by JBL. I hope there is an upgrade since I never had much luck with aftermarket car receivers.

Looking forward to test driving this in the spring!!

Of course the BRZ and FRS will look similar except for some minor changes. No reason to think they would look drastically different as we have been told they would basically be the same car.

Leeky already knows that. His comment is something else.

The interior looks good!

As for the comments that mentioned about the smoke fiim on the tailights, I concur!

One little dissapointing thing is how the seat has no later support for the legs... Kinda expected it, so it's justified to buy the recaro seat!

[Dave-ROR]

The taillights don't bother me. I agree with the other poster about not caring what my cars look like though. So far I like the interior (save for the stupid white tach instead of the black race car tach and maybe headrests depending in what the final ones are) and I like the exterior.

Yep minor cosmetic differences.....

So what I am really hoping for is the one thing that would make my decision between the FRS and BRZ easy.......... POWER.

Will the BRZ have more HP, or can it be tuned for more HP?

I bet for many here, that will also be their deciding factor, if indeed there is a difference in power. We are going to find out soon!

I know it will be the same car. I'm just hoping the front and rear end have some major differences. I also hope the interior is different. I'm happy with the FRS interior so far but for the sake of variety.

Oh and I also hope the BRZ has Unequal legth headers for that trademark Subaru Sound

I prefer the white tach because I've used both the black and white tachs before on my previous track cars and found the red niddle more visible against the white than black? (maybe, I'm getting old and my vision is going away)

What's your reason for calling the white tech "stupid"?

[Geard]

It looks much better without kit, maybe the lip but that's it,
I'll take one in black with red tails trd brake kit and coilovers!
Oh yea and some agressively fitting wheels! "not hella flush" just some badass fitment!

[bsivoljr]

WTF? Gross! This!


looks nothing like this!




Way to lead us on Toyota/Scion. BS. Don't expect me to buy this new watered down garbage. My community will no longer be interested either now. Congrats you just lost thousands of potential buyers.
