I had the opportunity to compare mine (SWP BRZ LIMITED) to a scion frs at our local dealership! The sales guy there called me about the arrival so I came in with my BRZ. A lot of their salespeople went out and took pictures. Fortunately I got a couple! Trying to figure out how to post it here through phone

Hate to say it, but if the GT-86 was in place of the FRS, it'd be a closer contest. The FRS ain't got XXXX on the BRZ imo.

I want the Scion for its exterior but I like the subi's interior. Tough choice!
Why did Toy and Subi choose to have the same rims?

It costs money to produce two different kinds. Also, they come off of the same assembly line, so it's just easier.

I really wish the FR-S came with the BRZ Limited's interior lol

Thanks! I've been waiting for a picture like that... I saw an FR-S in person for the first time yesterday and I like it in person more than I thought I would. It always looked so plain jane to me in pictures. I might be able to live with one if for some reason there's an issue getting my BRZ Limited...

Comments like these get me mad.. I'm not mad at you in particular lol, but let me explain myself....

A front bumper which is held on by barley NOTHING is what drives people away from a BRZ than an FRS????? I'm mean common, you can modify the front bumper, get an FRS one, get an aftermarket one, etc. The rest of the car's exterior is THE SAME except for the fender, lights (WHICH ARE BETTER), and badges....

/rant

Interior is what should matter in deciding, since it's much more difficult and more $$$ to change. Also of coarse driver feel, engine, tranny, but it;s all the SAME..

Once again, this rant was not towards you, but for those who took the FRS over the BRZ ONLY for looks, and constantly rant on it's 'stache = Not you

I think it's quite marvelous, don't you say Windsor?

yeah im with you there. but love them both. it will come down to what is available power wise in upgrades from the factory by the time i can actually purchase. the brz is certainly a more polished car.
