The FRS smoked the VT on the curves and I explained to my gf that it's because the FRS handles MUCH better than the VT....(or it could of been the driver..but that story's for another time)

This past weekend we swung by a Scion dealer and there was a white FRS for test drive. I let my gf test drive it and afterwards, she told me "I understand why you love this car..because I love it too now". She loved the handling, the size of the car, the car's feeling of being planted, etc.

just wanted to share. Cannot wait to get a FRS...hardest choice is which color...


/end rant
Thanks for sharing. I was looking at the VT, but I could not wait. But now if I drive anything else but my FR-S, everything feels weird. I drove my sister's big ass boat like Toyota Solara and man I felt I was way to high off the ground, the car was way to big, and handled like a boat!

Go Flashy or go home!

White/Black on Coupes look good, and the bright colors.

Silver/Grey are more lower profile IMO, doesn't bring out the "Flashy Sport Car"
