I like bright colors

I see an occasional Fr-s (usually white) less the once a week and once in a blue moon a BRZ but never a 10 series. I don't think there are any Monograms in NY yet.

I see one about once a week. It's kind of funny because shortly after they came out, I was riding my bike around the neighborhood and noticed a BRZ in one of my neighbor's garage. I haven't been able to talk to him yet and he doesn't seem to take it out too often but I occasionally see it as I'm going in or out of the neighborhood.

I'm actually more surprised that we are not seeing more of them.

- Available in auto
- Less than 30K
- Scion/Toyota brand, so rich parents approve

Don't seem to be very common in Tampa Bay. Besides the two or three I've seen in my surrounding area, I might catch a glimpse of a straggler once or twice a month.

Hell, now that I think about it, I never saw a FR-S on the road until I bought mine.

Yep.

I've seen an FRS or two but no BRZ's in this area.

Couple months later and I see 4-7 twins daily. I mean my commute isn't much, maybe only 20-30 miles of daily drive, just wondering if people are experiencing the same thing in other cities? THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! I mean I'm happy that the car is getting popular but damn lol
I am up here in Northern California, and I still don't see THAT many 86's around. Give or take maybe 1-5 per week. Southern California is way more dense of a population however, and your guys' car culture down there is way more active than northern California (in my opinion).

Here in Middle Ga the FRS and BRZ are still rare. I've seen less than 5 on the road in the past year. They are just now starting to keep 1 or 2 on the lots of the major Toyota dealers and you're lucky to see a BRZ at the lone Subaru dealer.

The twins won't ever be anywhere near as common as a civic... and that is a good thing. I prefer it that way. I would like to see the car find a niche market like the Miata - keep it fairly exclusive.

In fact, truth be told, it would not hurt my feelings to see them stop selling the twins in a couple of years - makes our cars all the more rare/desirable.
