Who built it? Who stamped most of the parts? Who gets the blame if it breaks down?

construction workers build buildings but i think we all credit the architect. who was the chief engineer? ill give that guy just as much credit than the person down in a factory stamping out stars on a brake caliper or control arm. i think when a car brakes down, the company they bought it from takes the blame. im not saying was in any way subordinate to toyota throughout the process. im just saying thats a weak argument.

depends if it's under warranty lol

Depends how hard I drive it and if i put a turbo and/or other "stuff" on it, then it's probably my fault if it breaks down and also depends what kind of problem it is but I think under normal use a Toyotabaru is the perfect match made in heaven; it should last me a long time.

But usually I'll try to get the dealership to take the blame first of course and hopefully by then, it'll still be under warranty (p.s. iGarage, gave the best price so far for an oil change and filter, no I don't work for them).

i think the most important question here is, "will it blend?"

one thing that's wrong is that the rear suspension isn't true double wishbone

What I've been hearing more recently is that the BRZ is essentially a higher trim level for the FR-S

Yes it is in terms of paying $2500 more you only get the toggle switches, push button starter, aluminum panel (interior, quite annoying, doesn't match), spoiler (bit old school), and a usb in the glove box (not practical).
(all that is only worth about $1200, over priced)

Plus people pick the Scion FR-S/GT86 because the front looks more aggressive and because of the heritage (the reason they made the car) and the side fender (86 emblem).

I'd rather spend that extra cash on a HKS exhaust and intake and AXIS spoiler which is a better upgrade
