Woah.. besides the fact you're quoting a post from 3 months ago, I heard from my girlfriend's cousin's best-friend's ex-friend that the FR-S has one more cylinder than the BRZ. So they're not the same!!!11!!

I told myself I didn't need all the interior options since I like the FR-S front end a lot more. But the moment I sat in a Limited, I knew I was wrong. Navigation, push to start, dual climate, heated seats, etc. I traded my previous car in and my next car is going to be my DD, so I got a BRZ Limited.

Exact same situation as me. Front end of the BRZ did grow on me though.

Yep, the front end of the BRZ looks better in person than in pictures IMO.

It's my new DD rather than a track / weekend toy, so I figured the proper headlights, nicer interior, and things like heated seats would be nice things to have in the long-term. I also think the BRZ front end looks nicer, particularly in WRB. Basically everything seems a bit nicer on the BRZ.

FR-S = better project / track car base
BRZ = better DD

Couldn't be happier with it so far. The car is even more livable than I anticipated, even if it does smell a little plasticy (hopefully this goes away in time).

The interior and my wife didn't like the red wings on the frs seats. I also think the BRZ is more for adults with the dual climate and keyless entry.

The headlights. If HID headlights were an option on the FR-S and still kept the price lower then the BRZ I would have picked up that car.

They look identical.....sans the wing.

failed sarcasm attempt.

Front end styling was a HUGE factor in my decision. Others were:
- HIDs
- Brand loyalty
- Interior (seats, nav, HVAC controls)
- I cringe at the thought of owning a Scion (I know, it's stupid, but I refuse to own a car from a manufacturer that also makes the Xa and Xb)
