And for us 20-year-old business owners with companies generating over $100k in yearly revenue and could potentially pay a car 100% (not that it would be prudent to do so)? We're still BSing you because of your condescending stereotyping?

i dont want to sound like i am sterotyping anyone and in noway is it all 100% but i notice Asians checking out my car more then anyone. The wife works in a asian populated area and there was people daily circling the car in the parking lot taking pic's.

its a pretty good feeling tho when someone in a muscle car like the new challenger pulls up next to you and gives the car its props. another good feeling is seeing a 90k aston martin pull up next to you and start checking it out. The guy looks at me and says... "its real beefy looking... i like it" HAHA makes me feel richer then i am.

Some punk hoodlum kids yelled.... "that car is DOPE"

Filling up at gas station..Some 8 year old kids walking by, one says "wow that's a cool car"..then his other shirtless buddy goes "ya, that's the new FRS" I was like holly cow how in world....

[SocalBurt]

I walked up on some kids taking pics of mine and posting them on Instagram. And on another occasion a guy in a brand new Scion tc was like, "i F****d up man i should have waited and gotten an FR-S like you"

[Splat]

I stopped at dealership...to check on my floor mats that did not come with my car. I come out and since no frs's on lot 2 guys are at my car going google eyed. One says I came down to see it but they don't have any. Mind if I sit in it... I said no, he pulls a 9mm out of back of his shirt and tells me not to freak out, "I don't want to damage ur seats".

+1 Glad he didnt wait. I want sales to stop...lol

Had the FR-S at the local auto parts store, some kids in a 2.5 RS stopped to take pics on their way out.

Have had people point their cell phones out windows while driving by.

I don't get it. It's a good looking car, but hardly an exotic. Glad I didn't buy a more vibrant color like I initially wanted to.

Almost every time I drive it someone asks about or people are looking at it when I come out of a store. A couple weeks ago I came out of a restaurant and one of the waiters was taking pics and a few of the kitchen staff were outside looking at it. LOL!

I had a Dr appt on Friday (my dr I've seen for years) and I mentioned I got a new car... I told him what I got and he says, "is it outside can I look at it"? He has two Subaru's and was thinking about getting a BRZ He spent 10mins looking at it.
