The first time I had to do a double take because I didn't know if it was an FR-S or the 370

would never mistake a frs or brz for one of those. the genesis coupe on the other hand.... definitely see the resemblance. i wouldn't like that feeling if i was driving a gen coupe. like i was driving a tiburon 2.0 or something haha.

The first Frs I saw actually driving was about 200 feet away from me and I thought it was a white lfa. Then it drove closer :o

Before I even knew what an FR-S was some months ago, I saw a white one driving near a dealership. At first glance I thought it was an LFA, realized it wasn't, and then was very confused.

LOL, no! There's a burnt orange one right down the street from me, maybe since I see it all the time I can't be fooled anymore? The damn thing doesn't even have space for fog lights, and the butt is... disturbing somehow. Never could figure out why exactly I don't like them.

BTW, some lady at a gas station came out and asked what year my BRZ was, I said 2013, she said "wow they look a lot different than mine!" I said, what do you drive? She said a WRX...

Took a few seconds to come up with a response to that one.
