You mean apart from the obvious aesthetic, monetary, and feature content differentiation? Because the suspension tuning and perhaps exhaust [sound] tuning is likely to be different between the two brands. Slapping a foregone conclusion on the matter will only leave you ignorant.

Considering they will be the same I will decide based on price, will give scion the edge by a few hundred $ though because subaru bumper is kind of ugly :\

Test drive each one and the one that gives me a boner the fastest is the winner. Oh price and looks will help also since they are basically the same.

I plan on getting the BRZ, just because I think it looks better and it is a better fit for me. Plus, I like the people at the Subaru dealer that is near me.

Classic.

Imagine getting out of the car after test driving it, and the salesmen just staring at your junk.

Article also says it will have around 205 HP in America, and the Subaru will have different suspension tuning than the Toyota.

All about weight for me. If neither meets my weight criteria, then I won't purchase.

suprachica79 · 11-30-2011, 06:23 PM

I will not buy a Subaru. Scion by default! And price is a factor and we know Scion will be cheaper than Subaru and I have to go with the cheaper one. But Subaru is not an option for me. Scion or bust.

Depends on if Scion screws up the front end of the car...Spy shots already show that the car will not have HIDS or LED running lights...but its a mule so that don't mean anything till tonight...

Go Scion! Don't screw up!

The more I look at the BRZ the more I likey! Especially in that matte white!

I just want the FRS to look exactly like the 86 are better...

coyote · 11-30-2011, 06:40 PM

Subaru Australia have said they might not import the BRZ, because they'd have to change some wording on their website.

So I'll likely have to buy the Toyota, but we all know that under the badge they are all Subarus anyway.

FRZ 6sp manual. Blue, High spec, TRD options... all of them. I have never really like Subi's so Scion it is, I have always own toyota's.

But remember all the cool stuff you have to buy as options.. they will have it, just you have to pay for it.

I've always had toyotas, but I've always been a fan on subaru. I was leaning toward the scion, but Subaru blue is soo nice...
