What do you guys and gals think about this new car?

I personally think it's sweet, especially after watching video reviews of it. Give me your input! :thumb:

BRZ is slick! Hopefully pick one up in a couple years.

200hp and 151 pound-feet of torque. It's not TOO crazy, but it's still enough to get moving. I bet Subaru will end up making a STi version sometime in a couple years.

I thought it was going to be a heavy car, but it's actually a good weight. I really want to test drive one. If looks were all that mattered, I would swoop one up right now, but I gotta drive it first.

I saw this a while back, don't know if it's real or not. Looks good but a bit too much camber for my taste.

I read somewhere that that pic was photoshopped.

I wish the toyota got the same rear end it had in the concept version. Looks way better IMO and would have made it different than the subie.

All of them have the same drivetrain, so I'd assume that the FR-S gets an LSD, as well. No factory navigation though. The Subaru is about $3000 more than the Scion and it's pretty much all in that navigation system.

I'd really like to own an FR-S. I will eventually.

just saw some on a truck the other day...small little things. But they are nice looking and I personally love the sound of a boxer with exhaust...so with some boost and other mods these could very well be little brutes!
