Autoweek Review of FR-S

Didn't see this posted yet, another review from the Las Vegas event, includes a video segment by Mark Vaughn of Autoweek magazine.

Quote:
"It's everything you'd hoped for. Remember, this is not a Porsche 911/Ferrari 458/Porsche Cayman/BMW Z4 competitor. This is at the lower end of the sports-car spectrum in both power and price. But it will remind you of the great sports and sporty cars you had in college, such as the Datsun 510, the Mazda RX-3, the Alfa Giulia and the BMW 2002tii. It is nicely balanced, with 53 percent of its weight on the front wheels, which chief engineer Tetsuya Tada said he preferred to a 50/50 balance. We drove it all over Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in beautiful, sunny Pahrump, Nev., and never got tired of it. In fact, we stayed on the track all afternoon until they finally kicked us off at about 4 p.m. or so, such was the car's sway over us."
