Would you ever sell your BRZ for a 10th Anniversary edition FR-S? [Be Honest]

For what it's worth, I actually like the frs front end better but it's all the little things that make the car an obvious non-choice for certain target markets.

16-23 year olds will go scion, older people and more mature are picking up the brz. This is a pretty obvious detail that I've seen hanging out with all the local guys.

Mature...haha...hilarious...Like resorting to petty insults to justify your car purchase?

Let me explain this so everyone can stop bantering.

Anyone who owns a scion pre frs is 90% most likely to be an ass clown.
Anyone who bought an frs did because they wanted a gt86 but couldn't get one.
Anyone who got a brz did because they didn't want to be in the first group.

I actually had a deposit on a frs 10 series but I ended up picking a WRB BRZ last night.
I have to admit at first I really preferred the frs's front bumper but the BRZ really grew on me. What really sealed the deal though was the WRB paint, alcantara/leather interior heated seats, and navi; for only 70 bucks more! The series 10 comes with a new touch screen head unit but it's only nav ready. You'll have to order the module so another $650. Maybe more if you want it installed by the dealer. I figured I was essentially paying more and getting less with the series 10.

This makes sense.

Scion's average buying age is the youngest in the industry. I personally don't care about the badge on the car. Whether it by Scion vs Subaru. I picked the BRZ because it had the features I wanted and the FR-S did not. Simple as that. I am 42, so I guess that makes me old.

I clicked on that link and it is a blank Wikipedia page.

I'd assume that most of that data was compiled prior to the FRS. I don't think most ppl buying the FRS are in that 16-23 age range. Even if the data was compiled in the last year, I'd venture that less than 10% of it would be FRS purchases. There has only been one model year of FRS sales...so the data wouldn't be able to speak to that. Additionally, the cost of the FRS is considerably more than the tC which used to be the most expensive model. I can't imagine what insurance would be like on a sports car for a teen driver... :

lol. I guess I could ask for more fun little switches (speaking of autozone)....or are we talking about the "carbon fiber?" Guess I could paint it silver and look like yours. This is my first car without leather seats and I much prefer it to leather.

As far as the age is concerned, it might be where you are because I have yet to see an FRS owner under the age of 23. I know they are out there, but I haven't met one yet. I'm 31....I bought the wrong car. Damn.

Edit : You do realize this is a never ending banter right? What is there to win? It's not a mustang vs camaro fight, it's a twins fight....key word is "twins"

Yeah I know it's never ending. but when in life isn't it fun to fight with your brothers and sisters over silly shit like "you moved my ninja turtles".




I'm not insulting, I'm making opinionated statements based on observation and comparison. Scion does, in fact, target 16-23 year olds as their sales demographic.

An insult would be "you don't have a real job, so you bought an frs".

The FRS is better because it has fake carbon fiber, that's not fake carbon fiber.

Or, "Yo mama's so dumb, she thought Blues Traveler was a smurf on vacation"

I get it, I get it! I could have been happy with either car. Both have things I like and both have things I don't. Oh well. :happy0180:

I love my Whiteout FRS, but if I could've gotten a WRB BRZ MT Limited at MSRP when I bought my FRS, I would have. Love the HIDs and WRB. There were dealers in LA trying to charge $7500 over MSRP for the BRZ when I bought my FRS... I thought to myself no fricken way.
