Is it? I've only read 2 BRZ wrecks vs this one & other FR-S wrecks are iirc 3~4

There might be one more that I can't think of, but overall, now that I think about it, FR-S accident numbers are higher, but I think they're equal as a percentage of unit sold since there are more FR-S on the road.

Meh...just needs a bit of a touch up..

To some of our BRZ brothers who like to pretend they sit on high-horses: I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where the Subaru badge became synonymous with maturity. There's a reason why WRX's have some of the highest insurance rates around...

Seriously. I'm getting tired of hearing it as well.

Great points, hence my call on more frs being smashed! But it is not that the six starts indicate maturity (much more mature line up of cars, yet used wrx attracting the worst kind of ricers) but that Scion is so closely associated with *hold your breath* immaturity *gasp* that makes me lose faith in this twins longevity.

No, as robo robb stated 2.8 FRS =1 BRZ. And + scion demographics.

Another one for the high and mighty brz owners

I liked how this turned into a post with a damaged FR-S in it, to a ego battle between FR-S owners and the nonexistent BRZ owners on the thread.

From what ive seen the only people who talk about BRZ owners as if they are better than FR-S owners are people that own FR-S's. Never see anyone with a BRZ talking down, or talking bad about FR-S owners ever including myself. But I guess you guys get butthurt on the internet easily

I'm more curious as to exactly how these cars have gotten that type of damage, minus the blue one that got hit by the jeep since I read that thread. These don't like normal fender benders either...
