Yeah, he bought the BRZ as his daily driver with the Z staying as his toy. How lucky is that guy?

My office building now has 2 Scion FRS's. Got to speak to one of the owners, female, late 30's, bought it just from the brochure/never saw it in person or test drove it. Had no idea what it was or the hype, just loved the looks. Said she was going to buy the TC, but thought it was too much of a young kids car. Not a real good person to talk to about handling or power.

She likes the car overall, but said getting in & out of it is a pain. I chuckled when she said that, because when I test drove a FRS, that was my first impression. Not sure who owns the 2nd, but hope to meet that owner soon.

So far, FRS 50% chicks car in my office building. But in all fairness, she said her first choice would be a 370Z but couldn't afford it. So does that make the Z a chicks car as well

lol, this reminds me of some fat middle aged woman back many years ago at an auto show sitting in a S2000. she needed help getting out. at the end, she basically fell out of the cockpit. at least the car didnt tip over with her.

i was just joking about BRZ. im not interested in getting that or the FRS.. used STI's...ive only spotted a few. Other than the one that was at the dealer the private sale ones were all modded. i dont want a modded used one.

im also looking at the new impreza hatch (non-turbo ones). i just need the utility, not power. but the sti's looks nice.

I totally understand I would love to get one, and keep my Z but it doesnt make sense since i only drive 100 miles a week.

I am a 2000 Celica GTS owner and was totally into the the FT-86 concept. I was hoping for at least 300 HP. Kept an eye on the car for two years.

When it was finally released, I was chocked that it was not going to be sold as a Toyota, was totally chocked that it was only 200 HP. I test drove it and thought to myself - "Self if you get this car you are just trading one Celica for another. While looking good either way, your years of getting your *** kicked by some Subaru or modded Civic will continue".

So I turned my eye toward a 370Z, for just an extra $10000 over what I paid for the Celica you can have a car very few could beat and looks just as good.

Actually I did that with my Z because it was in storage away from the dealership lol

BUT I had done so much research before hand and just general Z knowledge I blew away the sales guy who barely knew a thing.

I've gotten to see a couple of FRS/BRZ's now...they look smaller and light...the finish is a bit cheaper but not bad...seen some at Time Attack too...seem to do alright...Like I said in an older post...it can be what the Z was when it started out
