the scion fr-s and the subaru brz i was there last night, the LFA is also there its pretty

at 5'10 in my driving position a 5'11-6' person could fit in the back, or at least i did with about an inch or two of head room, the back seats were more comfortable than i though

steering wheel feels nice, the dash is soft, paddle shifters are about the right travel when clicking them

the auto box shifter is really nice

everything clicks like its supposed to, the trunk, you can put a couple suit cases back there, it opens ever so smoothly, engine bay looks easy to work on

seats with the alancantra are nice and snug

Both of them were there. I must say it looks smaller in person than in picture. It resembles my personal ae86's dimensions save for the height, which is much lower.

I'm planning on driving down to see them on Saturday. I hope they let me sit in one since I have a deposit and would be driving 5 hours to see it. If not, oh well.

Went today and gotta say I was impressed. They were both silver and the FR-S looks a lot better in person than it does in pics. I have pics but I'm sure everyone has seen every picture possible of this car but I'll upload a few later anyway. Some things to note, the Scion rep said the FR-S would be on sale in June and will not be limited production like the BRZ. She also said to expect many accessories available for this car and they want everyone to customize this car as much as possible. I went over to the BRZ and it looked great, just wished it was in another color besides silver though but anyway I asked the rep when pricing will be released she said she was told from SOA yesterday the BRZ Premium will be $25,500 which if holds true, would be a great surprise. Like I said I'll upload pics later on tonight.

Wonder if $25,500 includes destination? If not, looking at somewhere around ~$26,250 with dest.

Btw, that $25,500 is very very very close to the $25,300 Edmunds quoted back in Oct. And they were basically spot on with their FRS pricing. Seems like this could very well be it.
