Cool Are you getting the FR-S or the BRZ and why?

I know in the reveal pics people were clearly stating the vehicle they're getting but I wantedan individual form for that. I'm going with the frs because it's cheaper therefore leaving extra money for upgrades. The interior is just fine to me.

That sucks man. I didn't know the cost was that high for Singapore, but Singapore sure does have beautiful sights.

Hi,

I am getting the SCION FR-S because its almost stripped(hopefully) so it will be the cheapest.

Im not saying because I wouldnt be able to afford the BRZ but because I can upgrade the FRS to my liking. The VP of SCION said, it will have the most options compared to other SCION's.

Going with the FR-S for multiple reasons, some of them being: 1) cheaper 2) stripped down (upgrade what I want) 3) trading in a scion tC (better deal) 4) better looking (IMO) 5) <3 Toyota

^not in any specific order

I picked frs because of the heritage from Toyota and the fact that scion is a tuner brand, it will have more options than the brz.

Thanks man.. pros & cons I guess.

Anyway, if I have to choose from the above choices, i'll get the FR-S.

Reason : I'm getting 2 deals for the price of 1. Toyota body with a Subaru boxer engine !





I call Subaru's boxer engine the Harley Davidson of cars

There's really no difference in the dash center between the frs and BRZ. The BRZ just has different materials and digital hvac controls. I can use that extra money and buy a new intake, performance chip, new exhaust, or suspension upgrades. While all you got was nav and leather panels and seats and digital havoc controls. But each to their own

Nah, that's the way it is. We also pay 10% sale tax(rounded up number).
