And I'm torn on the Area 86 issue. On the one hand, it's a freakin' awesome concept, to have a place to go to discuss parts, performance, and race events solely for the 86. But on the other... do you really want to see how Scion would handle this? <shudder>

^^^^^Is this what you seen at the Japan dealer? ^^^^^

Yup. They had two GT's (red and the white TRD), and one GT-Limited (orange).

I would get a GT ASAP, dont care much for the spoiler... Well if it was the lip spoiler yes! If they brought it here I would buy it in a heartbeat & not make me join the Darkside buying a BRZ. LOL!

Oh, I was making flirty-eyes hard with that GT-Limited. More red leather than a brothel, with navigation and fog-lights? Mmm...

That spoiler I don't care for, but seeing as how I'm looking for one to put on mine anyway, maybe I could get the holes to line up. Moot point anyway, since we don't get the GT-Limited... we get the monospec FR-S. <sigh>

I think its awesome you got to see the Jap version up close & personal. I could only imagine the feeling you had... I get to test drive the FR-S on June 2nd at the Meadowlands in New jersey here in the states for the Scion first drive, so I'll see how I feel bout being in it & driving the vehicle.

And if I hadn't been retarded, and actually gotten my car driver's license here, I could have driven the TRD version. <sigh> Excuse me, I have to go cry in a corner now...

Actually only $3000 more than the FR-S gets the the BRZ limited which has everything. Actually kinda worth it. I admit the FR-S does look better than the BRZ, but those FR-S cheap looking halogen headlights....damn you Scion.

Actually I think there needs to be a even more stripped down version of the FR-S\BRZ, you know the one with the 16 inch steelies and no LSD and no AC. Let you add these as options if you want it.

To make the FR-S the deal of the century it really needed the HIDs as standard. Those are going to be a biotch to add later. AC is AC, sure the FR-S and BRZ premium AC looks like crap but it will not be worth it to try to add it using parts, unless its a plug and place replacement. Proximity\Push start will be easy to add, there are some aftermarket systems that use Toyota parts that sell for only $300. Custom covering the seats won't be too expensive either. But you will do none of this if you are leasing the car...so....

Damn you Scion!

But yeah I still love the FR-S for what it is (especially in whiteout!) But a black BRZ limited is probably what I am gonna go with.

I agree. If they just added the HID/LED's for the same price, the FR-S would be a much better deal and a heck of a lot more attractive. And then they could offer Alcantara/leather seats as a dealer option. I'd be so happy.

See if the FR-S had the BRZ Limited options for the interior, I really wouldnt be complaining one bit. I could live without the HID's & Foglights for now. Just want where Im gonna be in & see while driving to my liking. Wish Toyota aka Scion did a G version & GT version here in the states.
