Yes it does look like the Gran Turismo
Where's the video of a older dude who parked a Maserati in a parking lot and as he was walking out he look at the FR-S?

Me and my wife own both a 2011 gran turismo and the FR-S and one of my neighbors asked how we liked our second Maserati I laughed and told him it was a Scion 3 weeks later I saw him pull up to his house in an FR-S. They were parked in the garage so he only saw the back of mine when he asked but it made me feel good that the cheap car looks good enough to be confused with the expensive one.

The thing that surprises me the most is the number of "older, 50 and up" people I get asking me about the car.

Yep. Some dude in an old SUV asked me a bunch of questions at a light. Seemed interested in buying one, might have been in his late 50's.

I'd say 80% of the questions so far is from middle aged guys.

Had a cool reaction today after work. I was going to get in my car and I see a guy heading towards his car which is just behind mine. As he's walking past me he looks over and says, "Are you the owner of this car, sir?" And when I said yes he said, "I want you to know that that's a beautiful color. I see it everyday and I always think how that's a beautiful color."

It made my day. I thanked him, told him I appreciated it and to have a good night.

Had a woman jump out of her car in a parking lot leaving her husband to deal with getting the kids out of their car. Looked as if she was about to drool over it...had to look inside as well. I started laughing while my g/f had a look of confusion lol.
