The car is a unique combination...the people who choose to own it, imho are bold characters who don't put up with lip from fan boys...we have plenty of threads here about jerks who put our car down but I can't recall one of one 86/BRZ/FR-S owner saying another put them down. *2 cents*

I dont give a rats a$$ what people think about the car.

Actually once I get my FR-S I dont plan on advertising for Toyota,Scion, or Subaru. I will strip every single badge off the thing and put on something custom. (well I might keep the 86 badges on the side and put one on the rear, but at least those dont have an auto maker emblem on them).

As far as I am concerned its still Subaru anyways. The manufacturer placard does say Fuji heavy industries. That's all I need.
I don't know if you've checked out the Gensis Coupe forums, but apparently we're all idiots for buying such an underpowered car and that if you adjust the camber bolts of the "GC" it will handle better than the Toyobaru. They basically think any review that favors our car was "paid for" by Toyota. It's just how it is. We're going to get shit on either way because of pure jealousy.

Anytime someone attempts to give me any crap about whatever badge is on my car, I tell them to "grow up" and walk off to find someone more intelligent to talk to.

Tell them when they help you pay the $25k+ for the car then they can have a real opinion. When people ask why did you get an auto or why did you do this, I always look at the registration and I point out it doesn't have their name on it.

Your first mistake was hanging out with "Scion" folks. Not bashing the FR-S, but tC owners probably have the worst community ever -- barring maybe the SRT-4.

This just tells me that you havent really hung out with many tC folks. Just like with the twins, there are segments of the crowd that give the rest of the group a bad name. Most of the tC crowd I hung out with were good people that didn't go crazy with their fanatacism.

You are mostly right with the Skittle groups, though. Everything was straight line speed with them, nothing could beat the rainbow.
