back on topic: the FRS/BRZ looks cheap because:
- its tiny. most supercars are GIGANTIC on the road to have presence.
- cheap headlights and tail lights, no LED accent lighting
- small wheels and tires, huge wheel gap.

once you upgrade all those the car does look more expensive than the sum of its parts. The actual shape of the body itself is pretty nice.

The one thing that throws this car off for me is how frequently I hear fellow Twins owners complain about all these features that I love! For example, I think the shark fin antenna fits the lines of this car better than any other car on the road, and the boxer piston fender garnish is one of my favorite details!

Tcoat. I am not asian either, and I am not young. It appears you have been influenced by your affinity/addiction to this site, obviously. Now you see us ALL as asian? Wow, dude. You need a break.

I am an old German/Irish descendant. I do not fit your (Asian) billing whatsoever. But if you saw my 86 you might think I'm asian. Please don't lump us all into the same category. We are vastly different, though we do enjoy the same car.

I enjoy most of your posts, Tcoat. You have made me laugh and have entertained me. I respect your opinions, your knowledge, and your candor.

Seriously!

That falafel hat is on point. Accessories are everything.

Ha... Didn't even notice the hat! I would say that she looks naturally beautiful in the pic on the left. In the right pic, she's trying too hard. Kind of like some of the wheels people put on these cars...

For me, I find the FRS should come with a wing standard like the brz. The rear seems like its missing something without one. Like even my accord has a small OEM wing.

Nah I am not out to offend anybody and like I said I know that it is not accurate nor that everybody is the same. Just a strange visual I get now is all. Sort of a subconscious stereotyping due to all the anime, new music and culture that I have been exposed to or something.
I may need to seek professional help soon.
