I'm really not worried about fitting in the FRS/BRZ. I'm 6'3" but I can fit in all three generations of MX5. The NB Mazdaspeed was really close to being too tight, but it was still doable.

The same steering wheel as the TC? I dont see them sharing anything with the TC or any other Scion's. I personally dont want them to either. The more they innovate specifically for this car the better IMO.

It's not the same wheel.

they will not be rollin together in the same performance bracket


2012 911 82k
2013 GC V6 31k

Yeah your right bro..but nobody has tested the 350HP version of the GC...its could get into the upper 4 sec range.....

I never said they would be rolling in the same performance bracket but they will be running the same power...oh and the current GC V6 is around 3400 pounds according to the hyundai.com site. So 200 pounds more and $50K less...hmm. I would still take the porsche 911 if i could afford it but I will still give respect to the updated GC...
