I've come up behind them a few times already, the rear looks great. Front looks weird.

Saw a C8 Vette the other day, now that thing is fugly from the rear. Looks like it melted and someone squished it inwards.

Personal preference.



I like the looks of it and others may not. I would pick one up but want 2 things to change.


Fake Vents: You can't even make them functional without hacking up the bodywork.


Manual transmission.


Hopefully by the time I save up some funds they'll release a manual or Gen 2.

There was one in for servicing when I took my car in the first time. Looked OK but not stunning.
My car attracted more attention and all the sales guys thought it was custom wrapped. They asked me who I had make up the "seat covers"!

No no no no
They are all very clear that the only reason they don't want one is because there is no MT. They would have sold millions of them on here if it had a MT. No true enthusiast would buy an auto. Only MT. THERE IS NO MT HOW CAN ANYBODY DRIVE IT? Really should have a MT. Maybe they will build one with an MT soon then everybody will get it. MT MT MT MT MT MT MT

100%. I'd trade my FRS in happily for one if I could justify the price tag, for what the car is. But, FRS is also "more practical" so it's very hard to justify $60k+ for something that's going to be less functional than what's already in the driveway.



To be fair, a 4 door Civic SI is legitimately contending to replace the FRS.

A friend of a friend brought out his Supra for a Sunday morning drive a few weekends ago. In pictures, I never liked the bulbous front end of the Supra. In person though, I actually thought it looked much better. It's growing on me. I also like the double-bubble roofline and blacked out A-pillars.

One thing I don't like about the launch edition Supras specifically are the red mirror caps. Reminds me a bit of tiny wings on an elephant

Fun cars though and they sound great. Agree there should be a MT option.

With no other red on the car it looks like the mirrors got broke and those were all he could find at the auto wreckers.
