eh it's possible the comment was based on a past conversation (inside joke) they had where your friend said he didn't want people to bash him for driving a Scion/Subaru...let it slide...people refer to the BRZ extras in different ways. *2 cents*

I always was proud to have a car with a "cheap" reputation, cause that way everyone was more impressed when they see or experience the car. Dont know, call it "humbleness"

Also you know who really knows that they're talking of and who just "reads" some internet blogs and pretend they know something about cars.

I had sooooo may people making fun of my "crappy toyota" untill Fast and Furious came out and featured the Supra.

So, just dont give a shit and enjoy your car

Who cares what badge is on the car?

Branding/marketing is overrated.

Look inside the door jam of your FR-S...."Manufactured by Fuji Heavy Industries". So, his comment is null and void.

I don't think you have to worry about the opinions of someone who added "eezy" to their facebook name

And is it just me, or does it seem like BRZ owners care way more about this stuff than FRS owners?

What I think is kind of laughable is his implication that BRZs are classy. I own a BRZ limited, and I wouldn't call it classy. These aren't "Classy" cars by any stretch of the imagination.

Here, whenever I encounter a hater in anything I do, I just remember this:

Didn't you hear?

BRZ's are the Saab's of the JDM world, clearly only the brightest and most intelligent drive BRZ's....

Haterzzzz

BRZ to FR-S, well honestly, its simply put that haters or gonna hate, and like Kat Williams said, let them hate, lol! That video cracked me up! Anywhos. I could of simply got the BRZ for the extra amenities, but honestly, it was the nose that scared me off! I was like, oh nooooo what has Subaru done? The Nose on the FR-S is just simply what I call sexy! Its also more aggressive. I mean if you want to get down to the bones of it, its different strokes for different folks. What I find ugly someone might find attractive, ya know? Im in the Army and the first time I saw one of these cars in person was a guy at my unit who owned a BRZ. Although I asked how much he paid, and then I was like, "really"... didnt have the heart to tell him that he got suckered. It was way higher than I thought. But I mean he loves his car right? So now there are two cars at my unit, my FR-S and his BRZ. Its kinda cool if ya think about it. The Truth of the matter is that the partnership came out of the necessity to build something unique. Toyota's idea was trully original, plant a boxer motor in the front and lower it a bit to give it lower center of gravity! But where oh where will we get this boxer motor? Oh Fuji heavy Ind will have one for us. Fuji said, you want motor, we want your design. Does that sound fair? Obviously Toyota said "yes". Thus the partnership was born and now we have a subaru clone car driving around, lol. J/k. Just remember Fuji Heavy industries may make the car, but they are not the ones who created the AE86, and didnt come up with the GT-86 either. They just saw that toyota was gonna make something great and they wanted in on it of course.
