Yeah that whole Subaru WRX fanbois --> BRZ hatered thing is basically just people either incapable of seeing past what they personally get a kick out of, or insecurity IMO.

anybody else find it odd that the Scion took 5 days in May but wasn't on sale officially until June?

Yeah... although I know that there were a few dozen legit sales in May on top of the First 86 program.

All the turbo and AWD talk reminds me of reading "Night Imports" photo comments whenever the site admin puts one up.
The sales figures and demand shows the up. Still annoying to read though.

went to my first car show at a toyota dealership this past saturday and I couldn't believe what i was hearing from the sales guys at that dealership..
Sales guy "excuse me! did you change your front bumper?" Me "no why?" Sales guy "Oh cause we sell the FRS and i thought that the FRS was the same as the BRZ, so i thought that was an aftermarket bumper" Me " ohhh no no the BRZ is alittle different from the FRS" Sales guy "I'm sorry but your BRZ looks like it WANTS TO BE A FRS!" Me "hmmmm OKAY THANKS!" Also heard from there sales manager that walked by my BRZ say "no wonder you dont see that many of them.....they look ugly!" After hearing that....I was just thinking in my head! yeah there might not be a lot of there but there's a reason! the BRZ beats the FRS with looks, interior and MOTORTRED Magazine haha

I personally like the FR-S better than the BRZ, but by no means would I say the BRZ is an ugly car... They look too similar that the small differences are hardly noticeable. Heck, if it weren't for the grill insert on the BRZ I would barely be able to tell a difference. Sounds to me like the salesmen were just being jackasses.
