Maybe it's more fun doing it than watching it.

Definitely more fun to do than watch. Scion's marketing for this car really sucks compared to Subaru's. Then again, Scion's marketing in general really sucks.

While I agree somewhat about Scion's marketing, in another sense they are creating demand by letting forums like this create a mystique about the car substantiated by all the rumors circulating about release dates, options, etc. Why spend money on marketing when you can let the car community do it for you!

Or let Subaru advertise for you.

I'm so tired of hearing Ken Gushi tied to anything Scion FR-S related, guy crashes at first event, please just promote the car.

If that's the case, Hibino can't tied to anything Toyota 86 related. Cuz, Hibino crashed the 86 harder than Ken.

seriously, chill...

Not defending the guy but come on, things happen. I do not even get the whole drifting thing, but I can appreciate that it is a big deal for a lot of people. I have already gotten some feedback from one acquaintance at a reliable source who attended the event in Vegas. He really enjoyed the car, he said it had amazing balance as had been mentioned several times already. His only complaint was that the car could use another 20-30hp and it would be just about perfect. Hope to find out for myself soon enough.

I know drifting accidents happen, really its inevitable, I'm just saying I'd like to see the car promoted without him always being tied to it, everything i see on scion's facebook is like "Hey Ken Gushi Took a Shit while drifting, do you want to buy the car now?".

Thats a joke dont freak out

Anyways, will look forward to lift on embargo.
