HECK NO! If the FR-S came with a supercharger stock, then yes.

For BRZ STI, yes.

But for no power increase on a scion....absolutely NOT!

Even if it was free I wouldn't trade my FRS (w/ 10k miles on it) for the 10th FRS.

No, I do not like the FR-S's front end. The headlights and the black mesh material are not appealing to me.

Gotta love Subaru nutswingers. "I would never trade my beloved BRZ for a car that is pretty much the EXACT same car but with a different emblem. Everyone knows that the emblem makes the car faster." lol.

Sorry, I think all this brand loyalty is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY on a car that's heart IS A SUBARU! I don't think I've pulled a part off this car yet that didn't have the stars and/or Subaru stamped on it. "But, but, it says 'Scion' on it" lol, this argument is the dumbest of them all. The BRZ is not a better than the FRS and visce versa, they do have their subtle differences but not enough to nutswing from one twin to the other. Most of these little differences will disappear with mods anyway, but the emblems will remain. I didn't care which care I got, I went with what was available when I was looking. I could have gone either way and been happy. Price difference wasn't enough to justify waiting if I could have gotten a BRZ faster.

Get off your pedestal (I'm speaking to both sides here) and just enjoy the f-ing car already!!

Your reading comprehension is horrible. Reread the thread title and then you might want to edit your reply. Hint: it doesn't say would you trade your BRZ even money for an FRS 10th Anniversary model.

All I want from the Series 10 are the headlights. Otherwise, my FR-S is fine the way it is, basic, simple, less things to go wrong with it. If I had a BR-Z, I wouldn't trade for it either. I grow attached to my things.

You already have the car...why in the HELL would make a lateral move that's fiscally irresponsible? Not a lot of nutswinging, but a lot of common sense up in here (up in here).

I gotta disagree with you there. I leased just to be able to get the car sooner, rather than waiting to have enough money for a down payment that my loan would be affordable.

to the OP, HELL NO ITS my car!
