But I don't want people to start thinking that the car decides how mature a person is, BRZ side of the forum already display that they are more mature, but I don't think they should get into an elitist attitude.

Besides we don't know all the information yet, and according to that one SCION sales manager if the difference between the Premium and FRS is 1500$ you might get a better equipped FRS for less. So far alot of the argument to getting the BRZ aside from the fact that it looks a hell better then the FRS IMHO is the Limited features.

How many here would actually get a LIMITED and not a Premium? because I'm under the impression most people here aside from Zgrich who declared he's getting a limited is a premium buyer. How many will sway if th FRS turns out to be better equipped then the Premium BRZ and is 1500$ less.

From what I heard the premium BRZ does not have push start and dual zone hvac and has cloth seats. 17 inch rims are standard in the us for both models.

So the premium BRZ has nav and hids over the base frs.

I am going limited BRZ since I want everything. I will go frs if I can get hids and push start and it's substantially less than the premium BRZ.

You ain't lived till you had alcantra coddling your backside!

But I heard the cloth seats are good too.

All the pics your have seen of the BRZ are the limited trim.

I feel alone.... hello is anyone there?

I am with you...why get the base model? Limited is the only way to roll in the BRZ!

The idea that "rich" people will buy the BRZ and "poor" people will buy the FRS is beyond dumb...This is an economy sports car, truly rich people will just buy a 911 or a LFA ect...

The whole idea that one of these cars outhandles the other is just as ridiculous... We don't know...

We will have our answers soon enough so lets not spread all this mis-information...It will make the forum seem a whole lot less ignorant and a little more mature. It would be a shame if the idiots took over. I just hope we have enough smart people who won't put up with the lies and trolling to make this a good forum.

Agree with you 100 percent!

I totally agree with every point you made.
To use what if's, class warfare (rich vs poor) statements, and isolationists tactics, when every single person on this forum has different views and wants, is both disrespectful and immature.

Totally agree. And the original immature closed-minded comment about rich vs. poor has been deleted.

That kind of attitude won't be allowed to pervade here. I encourage everyone to report those types of posts.

very much Hachiroku.

[Boxer 86]

The reason I am going with the BRZ is because Subaru is sporting the GT300. I find it beyond cool to own a car that has a race car to the level of Super GT based upon it. Also, given the fact that it will be in the GT300, I believe that it will have a lot of nice factory performance parts from STI to choose from.

I also am a supporter of the fact that Subaru did the engineering on this car, and that is why I wan't to own a Subaru built by Subaru, and not a Toyota built by Subaru. No doubt that this car shines in every aspect of continuing the heritage of the original Hachiroku, however I just like the Subaru badging more than the Scion (since I cannot get the Toyota in the states :/)

[Want.FR-S]

Since there is no firm pricing and options/specs set on either side, I would just wait and see. We do not know if base on the same options Subaru would be cheaper or not. Price/options aside, I like the front end of fr-s, but I also like the interior of high-end 86. If I can put all the options just like that in 86 (scion high end or Subaru limited) whichever is cheaper is the one I want. If they are the same price, go for fr-s for personal preference.

I'm planning on going Limited provided the price isn't a huge leap from the Premium. Once it starts getting close to $30k there are other cars out there I would consider.

I like that this type of attitude isn't acceptable here on the forum. However, I think that deleting individual posts in a thread isn't a very positive action to take towards this behavior. IMO leaving the post and giving a warning, 24 hour ban, or thread lock if warranted, would better illustrate to future users that the behavior is not permitted. How can users know what's out of bounds if it's all swept under the rug? Additionally, any mention or quote of the previous post later in the thread becomes pretty out of place and confusing to people who just jump into the thread. Just my option.

Newbie question........since they both came together to make this car, is it feasible to buy subaru parts and put it on the fr-s?

I am sure there will be parts that are going to be swappable..do we know which ones exactly? No, just going to have to hold tight (just like people keep saying Subaru Impreza parts, or IS (dif parts) etc.. have to see. If they do and there are "stronger" parts/options I am sure people will do them.

This makes sense. Maybe have a three strike and your out rule. I guarantee after a couple warnings, some the repeat offenders with several hundred posts under their belt would think twice because they would hate to lose their user name and start back with a noob status.
