Then go w FR-S, simple as that.

Why spent extra $ that has DCC, PSB or other feather that isn't necessary for the track? Use that $ to upgrade suspension or other mods.

What ichi said. FRS = Barebones build to your liking.

Simple, tell your wife, instead of buying BRZ and going w FR-S, you guys save x amount of money. With that, wife can buy new shoes or purse!

It worked on my friend's wife LMAO

Also, most dealers have enough cars that you can walk in and get one. If anything, the most is a few weeks you would have to wait

That is true is it so easy to get a FR-S if you really want one....but damn those stock headlights. The only thing it needs is the HIDs for the Toyota 86 and the FR-S would be perfect.

But you got to remember the BRZ premium has the HIDs and slightly better seats and a real Navigation system for only about $1300 more, depending on which color FR-S you choose. I heard there are some subaru dealers selling BRZ at invoice. The VIP discount will probably kick in by this time next year...(2014 model) so you will be able to get the BRZ cheaper than the FR-S this time next year...

My wife isn't a shoe buyer, but I get your point. I'm trying to be on my best behavior now, I just hope she doesn't see through it and question why I am being so "good".

Hmmm now I am kicking around colors... love the whiteout, but it seems many people are getting it. I might go hot lava or ultramarine. Blue is my wife's favorite color so that would help things a bit. Then again she might be misled to believe I would let her drive it. Kidding... (not really)
