Hey, it's like I said. They'll try markup right now, because the vehicle is hot. There is buzz about it. A fool and his money are soon parted.

it happened with370. mustangs too..

thats a good point. Scion is supposed to be no haggle no price changes dealerships. IF any dealer attempts to mess with the prices, you can call Scion corporate and they are "supposed" to do something about it.

reminds me of the scumbags who tried to add a mandatory $1000 paint sealant charge Toyota tried to charge me when I bought my Prius. I reported them to the DMV right after

my mini cooper S can beat that plus it's a front wheel drive.

The FRS/BRZ are great sports cars for budgets under $28k. They should be be in the same class as the Miata (RWD and same performance).

IMO the 370z is in a different class of cars than the FRS/BRZ.

Comparing the FRS/BRZ to a 370Z is like comparing the 370Z to a C6 Vette. Different classes all together.

I think the Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec is more comparable to the Z. But thats just my opinion.

And the GenCoupe 2.0T is comparable to the FRS/BRZ

But people compare Z's to C6 Vettes here all the time, or Mustangs, or Miatas... I see nothing wrong with comparing performance cars.

Please don't judge a car by power alone, the rx-8 was the best handling car i've ever owned. Sure the power sucked, and I used to get like 14 mpg, but i'll be damned if I say I don't miss that car. Don't regret it one bit.

Oh and yes, it's the only "sports" car in which the back seats were actually usable...

I'm not. I wouldn't say it was better though, the RX-8 def felt lighter and was much 'easier' to drive. A lot more balanced, that's for sure and def handled better than the 350z. The 370's steering feels heavy by comparison. The lack of power and torque really put a damper on an otherwise great car. I see them racing the RX-8's on the Rolex Sports Car series and makes me wonder what could have been had they used the 20B like in the race cars.
