But I really like the small styling differences of the FR-S. My practical side says, "Just buy a BRZ Limited and call it a day" but my emotional side says, "The FRS looks better and you'll never be satisfied with how the BRZ looks."

Do what I'm thinking: Go BRZ and if you're unhappy with the looks swap in an aftermarket bumper or stock FRS one.

Concerning the rear, I'm pretty sure the taillights are identical but I could be wrong.

The price difference will also be influenced by the limited quantities.

IF the limited quantities invite a market adjustment.

I think if you are still having trouble deciding on a car based off of price, then wait until you actually see dealer costs.

We act like the dealerships are going to use the Internet price

Things ive learned about this car while on FT86club in the last little while:

-Scion FRS is a cheapened uglified version of the 86
-Subaru's version is way better inside and out
-Subaru is way better value
-The rear end of the Subaru is way better than that of the Scion
-Scion is not the same as Toyota and the cars are totally different
-The car is overpriced because its super easy for a car company to make this car have 250-300hp and weigh less than 2500 lbs all for less than a Scion tC.
-Its way too slow
-HID's, NAV and Auto HVAC are dealbreaker features.

What i miss?

You realize the BRZ people will vote and skew the voting, right?

Should've had more options.

2 year maintenance plan is like $200 to me, unless they add brake pad service too. We don't know if Scion/Toyota dealer performs oil change service using sync oil or not.

I'm sticking with the FR-S. Can't get past that ugly beak on the BRZ. HIDs are not that important to me. Only thing I want to add is the fog lights.

zdc · 04-06-2012, 10:21 AM

The BRZ is about $25 more a month for 5 years of financing for most people. Is nav and HIDs worth $25 a month? Then the BRZ is for you. If not, then the FR-S is a better fit.

The rear ends are exactly the same? What are you people talking about?

People just find stupid reasons to justify why the brz is better. Same damn engine! Maybe since I'll be in an frs on the track I'll have a weight advantage over the brz since I won't have a trunk liner

Vanity mirror lights are cool.. If your a girl who needs to put on make up
