I read that the subaru is supposed to be the same as the Toyota but different wheels but has a target price of $28k, 200 hp, 28 mpg, 2900 lbs. Wtf?

hummm... the max i would pay for the FRS would be $22K for the base, maybe $25K if they offer a sport model.

200hp would actually be plenty for me as a dd especially if it runs on regular.

On the link Isamu provided, they have a comparison chart attachment that indicates the FRS will be running on premium fuel. It will get 12.8 kilometers/liter. If you compare that to the 370Z combined fuel economy of 10.5 K/L, then the FR-S should get about 26 MPG on premium fuel.

I'm really liking the specs. 2700 lbs, RWD, good mpg, and one of the lowest center of gravity cars. Pretty much all it comes down to for me to buy it is how much it will cost and magazine/forum reviews. That and if my Z will ever sell.

"boyracer" always refers to kinda fast... so


premium fuel, huh? oh well. but 26mpg is not bad at all. my G's doing about 16-17mpg on surface roads per my gallons vs actual milage... not that it's a show stopper or anything for me but lower operating costs is always welcome.

(im in and out between meetings so skimming through these articles very quickly).

I don't know guys, I had high expectations for this car, and it seems to be late to the game for what they are bringing. Compare it to the Genesis coupe, which has more hp, a turbo, and is cheaper. Granted this car is lighter, 2700 vs 3300, but with an oem turbo (read easy to upgrade) and a v6 option, the Genesis justs appears on paper to be a better car, and it is already in the market, with tons of aftermarket support. I just think this subyota is late to the game, and doesn't bring anything that makes it stand out. Now if they Sti it, different story.

Just my thoughts, but I will still go drive one to see how it drives

Zaggeron

The 2012 2.0T Genesis Coupe is rated at 210 HP. Now that's just 10 HP more but it weighs 500 lbs more. Very big difference. The Toyobaru will feel and handle much differently. What's the conversion rate per 100lbs ... something like 10hp. So the Genesis would have to be running something like 260 hp to get the same power/weight ratio as the FT. You might be able to get that by increasing boost, but you still have the inertia of the larger mass to cart around in the Genesis.

Really, they are different sorts of cars and not really meant to be compared (though they obviously are and will be)

Not at first, a "300hp" version might come later.
