Both are "officially" becoming available at the end of April. i can't speak for the FRS, but the first BRZs are supposed to be at the dealers starting in May.

I went by the Toyota dealership today and asked about the FR-S. They don't even have any slated to come to them yet. For their list the release is still 'Late Spring'.

Haven't had a chance to get to the Subie dealer yet.

They are extremely limited in year one, my friends Subaru dealership is getting two for now, three at the most. Its a smaller dealershop though

My Subie dealer is supposedly getting only 8 all year.

That makes sense, from what I've seen with Subaru's performance lines historically. The first WRX came with that limited canary yellow color

If the model does well, they'll step up production in successive years.

Sounds like this car is a "Z wanna be"...

Price is going to drop like a rock after the hype of the car goes down

I really like it at $25K OTD but anymore than that I would rather have a used 370Z

Again, it's okay looking, but it warms me about as much as a Genesis, which means luke warm. In the looks department, the Z, and hell for that matter, the Camaro and Mustang blow this away. It's not "bad" looking, it's just not good looking either. Scale of 0 -10, this gets a 5 to 6. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Performance is another animal, and one I'm sure we'll all hear a lot about shortly.

That's not a particularly flattering picture. It's not a good angle and there's no real sense of scale. In the picture it looks chunky -- like its the size of a two door Impreza or something.

To put it into perspective its (in inches) 165.4(L) x 69.7(W) x 50(H) That about 8 inches longer than a Miata, about two inches wider and about an inch taller. It's shorter than the 370z couple by about 2 inches and the roof line is about two inches lower.

FRS manual MSRP is almost $25k, I bet BRZ will be more expensive.
FRS does not have LSD but BRZ has LSD with more option.

I would rather go with WRX...

BRZ need to come out with a F/I like WRX.

they are trying to seperate the wrx line from this, its why you won't see this in AWD either
