Saw My First FR-S Today
On the 405 going north. It was red. Saw it almost entirely from the rear.
Impression: It looked big. Bigger than a MINI. Bigger than an S2000. Big like a Genesis (although I am no expert on the Genesis). By "big" I mean wide, since I only saw it from the rear. Feeling: Disappointed about the size. But will wait to see the whole car and drive it. |

Umm .......That's really cool.
I assume you don't have any pics. But you we're definitely not seeing the FRS right, because a Genesis Coupe is bigger than a Camaro. And the Camaro is massive compared to the FRS. That means the GC must be humongous compared to the FRS. Haha |

Glad to hear ya caught one in the wild. Actually its much closer to the size of a 370Z or the S2000. Check out the dimensions, many of the cars are within inches of each other.

^^You're undoubtedly right. But the impression I got from that brief look was that it was wide and tall compared to what I expected. I'll have to get a better look when I can test drive one.

That's interesting to hear because most people say it looks SMALLER in person than they were expecting
