Scion FRS or Subaru BRZ? Not that I am getting one any time in the near future.
Which one is a better looking car inside? Outside....they are the same?

Been auto-crossing on and OFF for a while now, yet I find myself driving more OFF than ON.

Steve, everyone knows Toyobaru is the fastest. Even old harda$$ Clarkson agrees and he nearly despises everything from the land of the rising sun.. http://m.jalopnik.com/5962786/jeremy-cl ... socialflow

Personally I'd take the Scion sans the extra gadgetry and keep the change versus the Subaru for a set of 275 A6's. :thumbsup:

Rob...that is the lomg term plan....keeping the car till it is beyond old and tired. Right now it only has 71K since I drove it off the delivery truck in 2006. I ordered the car and had to wait 6 months for it.

This covers a lot of the slight differences.

I actually think the FR-S looks better from the outside. I like the front bumper on the FR-S much better than the smiley face the Subaru has. The interior on the FR-S is a bit more "boy-racer" and the BRZ is more grown up sports car in my opinion. I picked the BRZ mostly based on the extra gadgets (keyless start, nav, leather/alcantara seats, navigation, etc) you get for a small price increase

FYI from a Lee Grimes of Koni post on Roadraceautox

"Just as a follow-up on the OE struts and shocks questions, we had them here from both cars here and we could not distinguish a difference on the dyno or on the bodies themselves. The struts and shocks from the Scion do specifically say "SUBARU" stamped on them. Same-same."

This was post 198 in this thread. http://roadraceautox.com/showthread.php?t=40927&page=4
