I see a lot of older sibling rivalry over on spyderchat and a lot spyderchatters don't care for the FR-S probably because the cars are too similar. I think this car is a MUCH more seriously engineered car than the MR-S from the core on out!

Yeah. I post mainly on SpyderWeb these days, but check both forums on occasion. I think this car has potential, but it definitely won't excite me in its stock form compared to my current old car. My idea is to possibly get one of these as a daily driver and REALLY try not to modify it. I would have to remove the scion badging though and slap some cowboy hats in place. hahaha.

I'm sure there are a few other ex-MR-S people over here as well. I don't really check much on the forum since I'm not in the buying phase for it just yet.

Back on topic, I think this car is how the celica should have been. And, IMHO, the celica should have never switched to FWD. That was the thing that kept me from buying one. So I would view this car as a definite upgrade to the latest gen celica.
