I like the Scion because it seems more basic and sporty.

Too bad you'll still be driving a Subaru.

Yeah, you'll be reminded every time you pop that hood that it's a Subaru!

I thought the Subaru interior was bland until I saw the Scion. But honestly, because they are supposed to be low in price, it's not that big of a deal. That looks like what the BRZ Premium @ 25K MSRP will get you and judging how how the FR-S is a step down in quality, it could be a couple grand less than the BRZ Premium. That might help sway new buyers, especially the younger ones.

Lol did you guys see over at Autoblog? the BRZ is winning the poll by about 300 to 400 people. it's totally the opposite of here it's funny apprantely they don't think it's the same car XD!!!

OMG!! This reminds me of the Eagle-Talon and the Eclipse Back in the day

I have switch sides to the BRZ because of the cheapness of the FRS, not because of the styling.

Performance
FR-S > BRZ (why? Because FR-S should be lighter)

Cost
FR-S > BRZ (obvious reasons, doesn't come loaded with everything off hand and therefore cheaper)

Interior
BRZ = FR-S (because it comes with everything loaded, but if you are like me, you think dual climate in a little ass car is stupid so I like the simple layout of the FR-S. It has the tC2 dash basically.)

Exterior is subjective

You don't have to do anything but get in and out to have that thought.

Only half the motor is Subaru, but ALL of the design is Toyota.

According to Subaru, Toyota did nothing on the engine but supply the DI tech.

Am I the only person here that thinks the FR-S interior is better than the BRZ?

You know thats not true, or cant be confirmed. But if you look at the other drivetrain components you will see the subaru parts bin was used as well as its technology from other models.

The point here is there that there is no ignoring the accomplishments of subaru in the joint venture.

blur · 12-03-2011, 01:25 PM

Damn subaru fanboys. Tell me the last time Subaru made a RWD coupe.

BTW. I like the interior of the scion more too. The steering wheel, CF dash trim, and white face tach all look better than BRZ's.

Zaku · 12-03-2011, 01:25 PM

Im bout to switch to FRS side because, I like BRZ for it's exterior but Im a practical person and I really don't need all that extra stuff like Standard NaV inside ;/ thought I really want to try putting a BRZ front on a FRS Sileighty style ! I really don't like paying so much for things I don't need :/
