You have confirmed my feelings about this car.
I'm a FR-S Lover not a hater.
I can't wait to drive and own the FR-S!!!

Mad props to Scion for doing this. So happy they are leaving the 86 badging on it. Truely a great tribute to the AE86. Can't wait to get mine.

Congrats to Titus and thanks again for all the great info. I am always concerned about interior sizing since im also a big guy (6ft 320lb) but I carry me weight well. My main motivation to lose weight for the past 2 years has been to buy this car.

Now I just have to pray we get some good TRD parts. I will buy one stock and then start changing things out myself after warranty. Hopefully we will see a supercharger in the future.

Thumbs up for Initial D!!!

Ok guys I just sat in a premium BRZ in Shoreline, WA at Carter Subaru. It is still there today. PIctures and specs don't do the car justice. This car is the sexiest most sportiest/Track type car I have ever seen and sat in for $25K price point! I have been contemplating between the Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec and this and I have been following the BRZ/GT86/FRS on the web for the past 3 years. It was definately worth the wait. I can't wait to drive one and buy one!

That's how I felt when i saw it in person. It's better looking than a ton of cars under 50k. I think in its small sporty class it's the best looking car.

Mx5
Mini Cooper
500 Abarth
Cayman
Veloster
Focus ST
TT

I found it more attractive than all of these other small offerings.
