Got to inspect the Scion FR-S today...

Nice write up! A Subaru dealer by me just got two new BRZ's, a white and grey one. I will definitely have to stop by and check em out. From what I read the BRZ is the better car vs. the FR-S.

They are literally identical cars aside from the front fascia. The Subaru offers a version with an upgraded interior, but as for performance the difference should be negligible. I know a lot of people are tuned off by the Scion badge, but who really cares? That shouldn't mean anything to a true car enthusiast.

Personally I think the Scion looks a good deal better

An article I read compared the two head to head. It said the only noticible difference in performance was that the suby pushed more and the scion oversteered more. The difference being slightly softer springs in the scion.

I prefer the scion front bumper to the suby, but would get the suby over the scion because of the interior upgrades available.

Either way, they are just a little too whimpy for my tastes and I felt it would be a downgrade from my S2000 (god I wish Honda still made them, best car I've ever owned hands down!!!!)
