Hi everyone, my name's Brian, from Los Angeles. Just recently moved out here for school. I brought my Chevy Aveo with me, mainly because my parents wanted me to have something to move around in. I pretty much hate the damn thing. It dies randomly, and it's pretty much everything I don't want in a car, (FF layout, 4dr, hatchback, automatic, and American). I've had it since highschool, it's a 2005 model. Anyways, I heard about the FR-S/BRZ back when it was just a rumor, and then I started seeing actual concept models, and from then on I was hooked. I knew this car was going to be an amazing vehicle. And I promised myself it would be the next car I would own.

Hi, i'm Jamal from South Florida. I currently drive an '05 Dodge Neon SXT. I've had it since High School. I love the car & what it has taught me about driving, from grip to acceleration to steering and so on, but it's time to move on.

Scion FR-S, Here I Come.

Noob here!

Hey guys n gals? (prob not). My name is Travis and I'm from Temple TX. It's right smack dab in between Austin and Waco. I'm 28 and hoping to get my FR-S or BRZ (still undecided) this June. My coworkers and friends call me Big T. I'm not a fatty though. Just a family guy who is finally now getting the chance to purchase a fun car for himself after having to give up my camaro z28 after our son was born. Been creeping around this forum for a few months and finally feel guilty about it.

Can't wait for this car to go production. 2011 seems way too long away! But hopefully we can all pass that time together by sharing info and discussions until it's finally on the streets.

Be sure to bookmark the homepage blog. I've been a blogger for years so will be updating the blog with any new FT86 developments, info, and news.

Again, welcome and looking forward to chatting with you all.

Hello I'm Massimiliano and I come from Italy. I'll be 21 years old this April and I'm looking forward to changing my Alfa Romeo 159 with a GT-86 as soon as possible.

Don't take me seriously, but randomly I might post something worthwhile.
No kidding bro, me too.

Hello everyone!

I officially joined the club today. I went down to the ol' dealership and plopped down some cash to get on the list! We even had a first 86 winner out of the same dealership so the salesman is going to call me out to take a look at it when it comes in!

I currently drive a Dodge Neon SRT4 so to people who aren't getting the FR-S just because its a Scion...... I've driven a Neon for 6 years now so a Scion is an upgrade lol. And the front of it just looks better than the BRZ IMO.

My name is Ian, you can see my current ride in my signature. I am jonesing to get back into SCCA solo II. I havent done it since winning the regional STX class with a Mini S in '04, and FS with an Evo VIII in '03. Since then I have had everything from a turbo'd '04 GTO, to an '04 AMG SLK32, and last car before the Shelby was an '02 Z06.

On the fence about going to a car with maybe 1/4 the wheel horsepower I have now, but the small size, gas mileage and handling are calling me.

Guess we're both in the same boat. I drive an SXT & i've lost my enthusiasm for sports cars over time. The FR-S is bringing back my enthusiasm now more than ever!

Hey there, names Ruben up until recently I hadn't truely been following the FT-86's progress other than what I saw in magazine articles. Now that it's months away from being available I can't wait to get an FR-S of my own. I just wanted to say this has been a great source for information and I truely admire the ones that have been waiting for this car since 2009.
