Speaking of FR-S...I rolled up behind one today entering the gate to base. Downshifting caught his attention. I caught him snapping looks through his driver's side mirror. His girl snapped her neck fully spinning around in the pass seat.

I love having a car that very few people here have!

The BRZ and FR-S are a dime a dozen here like Chargers, Camaros, and Mustangs.

When Toyotabu comes out with the BRZ STI, it would be a game changer.

Subaru teases the future classic BRZ STI; what about the Scion FR-S? | Digital Trends

To enthusiasts for sure, but it's a bit of a harder sell to the general public who will look at the hp numbers and the price, and compare it to the pony cars.

Default 390z....240zt

Wonder sometimes how the division no cyl (displacement) of Japanese RWD Sports Cars versus American will grow...

390Z to have a 4Cly Optional?
