FRS vs BRZ pricing. Are you In or out?

[86fanatic]

Are the speakers different between the FRS and BRZ?

If given the option I might actually order one without speakers

That's true and tbh, I actually like the FR-S front end more than the BRZ. My ideal purchase time frame is when there are several FR-S' sitting in the lot with a nice layer of dirt on them.

Randomly point at the car and be like, "mmm, I've never seen this car before, is it new... looks like it's been sitting here for a while!?!" Then the hustling starts!

I don't mind too much if the Scion doesn't sell. It's kind of nice to drive a rare car. I would be disappointed if it doesn't inspire other car makers to follow Toyota into this market and if lack of sales causes a lack of aftermarket support and factory car development overall.

If this car doesn't wake Nissan up to make a new S chassis, I don't know what will.

What's with all of the QQing over all the "my penis is bigger than yours" talk. Are you guys buying this car to drive it or to show it off as a status symbol? Both cars are THE SAME. Subaru does NOT make great interiors. They never have. You want award winning interior quality? Go buy a BMW. You want a fun to drive car? Go buy a BRZ or an FRS and stop trying to say yours is better than someone else's. It's the same car.

Agreed, we are in this together, FRS and BRZ owners unite. We both need this car to be popular to ensure future potential.

One side note, BMW has never been known for their quality interiors either.

I'll get the FR-S, and slowly get the GT-86 parts from German headlights\fogs\ to jdm GT86 badges.... I should be fine... I want to keep the car looking clean.

FRS "dash panel" (not the silver BRZ one)

just for the lulz

Exactly what I want

I agree as well. Yes, there's differences here and there. But it's ultimately the same car in the end.

Me, I'm staying with the FR-S because fanboyism and favoritism and pride with Toyota. Never thought once about getting the BRZ over the FR-S![/QUOTE]

i don't know if this is true, but i feel like i read somewhere that the subaru price does include destination, while the scion does not. if that's the case the difference between the 2 is only like 600. that would make the subbie the better value imo, but i still want the scion. sorry hopefully i'm not spreading false info!!!

Other way around. Read the press releases. Subaru's doesn't include destination, the Scion's does.
