If the BRZ/FR-S didn't exist, what would you have bought? - Page 16 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JonAvalon · 11-18-2013, 02:29 PM

2013 Subaru Legacy - Which was going to be the car i was heading to the dealer for. But i took a detour to Toyota to see what the FR-S was like in person and ended up making a deal for one :P

13 Ford Focus Titanium hatch, Scion TC or Toyota Camry SE were my other choices at the time. Otherwise i would of kept my xA and do repairs and performance upgrades.

Either i would have put up the money to repair my 2005 Supercharged tC motor and keep it instead of selling it, Or a Genesis coupe.

It would have to be either an s2000 or a SRT8 challenger

daiheadjai · 11-18-2013, 04:27 PM

On my wishlist:
Celica GT-S, older WRX wagon, MR-S (we finally get to import them in Canada), or (in my dreams) S2000.

Dipstik-sportech · 11-18-2013, 05:47 PM

Probably a white e36 m3 or an evo8-9

All interesting selections here. I'm in the same the boat... whilst I haven't bought the FRZ86 yet, I am seriously trying to shop around before I pull the trigger sometime next year if all goes well.

Mustang, WRX, used S2k, maybe a Genesis Coupe, MX5, Focus ST...

So many except the MX5 don't really go head to head with the FRZ.

Used to be saving up for a Lotus but they packed up shop and left North America (at least the Elise and Exige did).

Lol indeed, very opposite ends of the spectrum but I think it comes from my earlier childhood.

My dad has an 87 trans am that I grew up with all my life. I'm a small guy which is why I like my compact cars and I love handling curving roads, however deep down inside I always had a love for a loud, roaring v8.. It's like a monster waiting to be let go and when you drop your foot down and pop the clutch, anything can happen.. love the thrill !

I can definitely see your point! Ive never been in a V8 beast so I can't even give my opinion on that scene, the cars themselves are just car too big for my taste and will never own 1 myself I don't think.

JackSmiley · 11-21-2013, 05:29 AM

A '87 corolla GTS (which i have) and a mk 3 supra with a 1j swap, or an FD/FC with a 20b.

Meehow86 · 11-21-2013, 11:58 AM

Fiesta ST or I would have waited until the next gen Miata came out and traded in my NC for it.

Soclose09 · 11-22-2013, 06:08 AM

2009 Corvette
2012 G37s vert
2013 STI
2012 Tahoe
2012 F150 EcoBoost FX2
2012 Tacoma TRD package
