The dealership told me last month that it really depends on how well the FR-S does. When I was buying my car I was the only single, realatively young guy in there. Everyone else was either 60+ years old, or multiple kid families looking for a family truckster. Being that they are partnering with BWM seems like a good…

The FR-S is kind of a weird case since the Toyota 86/GT86 comes with options not available on the FR-S (aside from the 10 Edition). It's not as if they are rebadging to a higher performing model, just a better optioned one. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I don't have the Scion shame some FR-S owners seem to have.

Do you know id that's a fender badge made to fit or is that actually made for the rear deck lid? I'm not going to rebadge mine a Toyota, but I would swap the Scion logo for that Boxer badge.

THIS! I've had mine for about a month and a half and I'm nowhere near bored with it. It's not hard to find that extra 40 horsepower in the aftermarket at all. I'll still be well under the cost of the S2k new. I don't know where the complainers have driven FR-S/BRZs, but I doubt it was anywhere like the mountain passes…

As a FR-S owner, I don't need the extra 50 horsepower. It's very peppy, rarely needs a downshift from 6th climbing hills on the interstates, and balanced better than nearly anything set at it's price point. Probably the only thing I'd change is putting unequal length headers on it from the factory to get rid of the…

Whoa! Chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature Dude! Now mark it a zero, he crossed the line!

My 84 Toyota Pickup (of all things) requires heel toeing when I'm wheeling. The previous owner didn't see a need for vacuum lines, fuel return lines, and a bevy of other things. The aftermarket Weber without vacuum and proper tuning (I'm sure), and best guess timing settings result in a 22R that doesn't like to idle…

I'd be interested to know more about it. I'm by no means an engineer, but I do know my way around a small block Ford. Mine has the 400 horsepower, but the only way it will get 110 miles to the gallon is to drop it to Earth from 110 miles up.

Boy you sure do assume a good many things. I'd be interested in what you would be able to do to affect the actions of the US military. Are you perhaps the collective E-voice of congress? I've seen a good chunk of this world, and judging from your need to be "right" on the internet your world view is formed by Gawker…

None of the things you have stated are fact. I spent 8 years as an infantryman and cross trained with Japanese, Korean, German, British, and Iraqi military. I don't know where you saw them, but I'd wager it was on Youtube. You see the world through a very narrow prism. I pity you. The US has done a lot of wrong in the…

I'm not sure about the mill in the Maser, but I know Ferraris of old needed 20,000 mile services to the tune of $15-20k. Not entirely affordable.

The Aurora is supposed to be the plane that replaced the SR-71. You know whatever it is, it has to be pretty damn cool to have replaced the SR-71.

I see someone doesn't have a grasp on the concept of deterrence. The truth of the matter is, nobody has what it takes to win a stand up fight with the US military. Maybe someday you should make a trip to west Afghanistan or east Pakistan and see what wonderful people are hiding in the caves there. As for the whole…

Very cool!

It would be in a different category, but as the salesman told me when I was buying my car, a lot of people come in to look at an FR-S because it's pretty, then back out because it's rear wheel drive and end up in a TC. As enthusiasts, we are in the minority of the car buying world. A small Ford coupe might even suffer…

I'd say dust off the Capri name. I'd be very surprised if Ford would risk eating into V6 Mustang sales with a small rear drive coupe.

Well, I've gotten a lot of compliments on my FR-S from the ladies. The Fiesta ST was on my radar as far as a new car went, but as soon as I test drove the FR-S I was sold. They had exactly what I wanted on the Scion lot as far as color and transmission, the local Ford dealership didn't know when they'd have a Fiesta…

I suppose I'm not worried about it because I'm daily driving it, and aside from it driving like a dream, it's been averaging 34mpg. When I do have a need for horsepower and torque I have a 70 Mustang with a 331 stroker motor thats putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 400-450hp. I suppose that helps me be…

I'd say it's fair to say that people who haven't driven one, yet complain about "only 200hp" really don't get it. I got my FR-S a little over a week ago and I love it just as it is. It certainly doesn't feel underpowered by any stretch. My 94 Mustang GT will walk away from it on a hard launch, but it won't stand a…

The portion west of the Urals is in Europe. Did your high school geography book come from one of those ultra Christian home school courses?
