I have the complete opposite. I have seen 2 different BRZs driving and 1 at te dealer (which is now not there cause someone bought it) and have not seen 1 FRS yet. I know there is at least 1 due to a coworkers brother has one.

As much as I love my FR-S there are several areas in design that I feel are less than desirable. Small things like the seat belt attachment to the seat, tail lights are just plain ugly, the third brake light should be incorporated in the deck lid, etc. My thinking is that if Toyota is on the ball items like those will be corrected. I also would hope they could add a few colors to the line-up (remember the baboon butt red?). If by chance those items were corrected I'll be making a trade.

I'm still hoping they don't soil the car with a turbo. Maybe a few go-fast bits to get a little more power from the factory with some better wheels/tires thrown in would work out, but don't kill it before it has lived! Everything else that needs work seems to be cosmetic to me.

I think Turbo should be an option like that TRD supercharger on the SCION TC a while ago, if you don't want it. Then you don't have to buy it, if you do want it you can have it installed right before coming out on the streets with your new car. A Limited Number STI model would be nice as well, that possibility with the convertible is there too. Since we're not sure how America is going to get it, but definitely leaves Subaru the option to just change the front and sell a convertible version. That's something kind of big for Subaru if you think about it, I don't think they've ever had a convertible.
