Because the other 50% is devoted to how slow and how unreliable the car is..
and about the noisy HPFP..

They look so great and handle so well that it's really hard to NOT compare them to more expensive cars. At the same time I do feel a little butt-hurt when my friends point out the car's flaws.

I don't care. I waited a long time for someone to build a fun innexpensive coupe. Hopefully they will cost less to maintain than the more expensive cars we are always comparing them to. :-)

My excitement comes from stepping out of a car that cost more than twice the price and enjoying it so much!! That's plenty to be excited about..

I talked my son into buying a FR-S. If he had bought a BMW I would have disowned him. Well, maybe not disowned him but I would not have worked on the damn thing.

Buy a BMW is you are more concerned about your status than driving enjoyment!

My son has a 335i and loves it.. I'm not dissing the Z4.. Just stating how happy I am with my purchase and what I enjoy about the FRS..
It was a good choice for my friend who bought the Z4.. As he travels a lot and needed a good highway cruiser.. A better choice than the FRS for his needs..
Less is more in my book when it comes to sport cars..

Fun to drive... Just not fun to own...

It's an enthusiast car, so ofcourse the typical person who buys this car will be more excited than the typical person who buys a honda odyssey.

I don't know... My son and Dinlaw was pretty enthusiastic when they got their odyssey and the boys were not on top of them anymore with lots of room to spare.. Lol..

You can also get hooked with a girl, or marry one through Any forums...in this age.

So be polite, and you may get one, rather than being ignorant ?

Twice the money? Many vehicles are as fun, better in all areas, but the FR-S only wins due to fuel economy.

Wise sir. Very true. Incoming Lexus RC will be just as good, if not better.

Wut. This doesn't make sense. Would you really rather have people circle jerking about how bad the car is and how stupid they were for buying the same car? Use some logic here buddy.

I also heard that, but even if it is released, I don't think I have the money to afford one. The IS-F is in the 60ish. Twin Turbo it probably going upward to 100k figure as the GT-R, or even more

So far I hear Lexus is having new L Turbo engine 4. I think it is going to be in the NX. But it would be an awesome one to have in the RC also.

I do not think Lexus would make a baby version 4 turbo and the father version twin turbo 8 on the same model. If they do, god bless them, and their next...next....next generation LOL!!!!

At twice the price I'll take a c7 or a Chevy SS.
