Agreed!!!!

I'm surprised the Scion IQ isn't in the VS section too.

Funny because I'm looking at the FR-S so I can buy a Cessna (probably a 182 though). My second choice of autos is a Camaro ZL1 so for the price diff I can get pretty close to a decent C-172 or C-182.

But yea, if I had to pick the C-172 is a better overall value than the FR-S if considered as a secondary (weekend) vehicle in my mind. Not as practical as a DD though unless by air is how you commute (and yes I know folks that do that).

Dodge Fart?

Just read the Motor Trend article on it and didn't find it very interesting. The specs aren't very impressive. I say this cause when I was reading articles on the MT website about the FRS/BRZ, a bunch of people were commenting, "wait for the dodge dart, it will kill this car". I was like, you serious, it's a fuggin dodge, you know, they make them ram horns.
