It really depends on how tall the front passengers are. One person said there was about 2" of space behind the driver seat when he was in it.

After watching this video, I'm having second thoughts on the wing. It's bigger than I thought lol. The car sounds good though, both stock and "TRD" equipped.

That thing is pretty massive, reminds me of the previous Celica wing...still on the fence. I'd probably go no wing until a nice enough aftermarket spoiler comes out

I'd rather get the GT headlights with the LED drl but that would be a pricey and hard to come by upgrade I'm sure, looked good in the video towards the end when the car came to a stop.

I'm opposite on that. I don't like the GT's LED drl's. I like the way the BRZ's LED drl's are though. However, the BRZ's headlights are not the same shape as the GT/FR-S. So, I like the FR-S without it seeing as how I don't like the GT's.

Not sure if I posted this photoshop here of the GT86. This is my current desktop.

^^ Yeah I doubt I'd ever actually spend the time/$ to do it but I think it would be pretty dope. I'm just looking forward to getting my hands on one of these next year sometime.

^ Nice comparison, thanks for posting.

Quite a few FD veterans at the Scion FR-S reveal

http://speedhunters.com/archive/2011...r-s-event.aspx

Even current champ Dai was there. Hmm....sneaky suspicions? I'm pretty sure Gushi will be piloting an FR-S in FD. But some of these other FD guys might be on board too...who knows.

You know it would be quite neat if Subaru offered this type of coilovers and then Scion offered this type so the choices could be wider for the buyer.

Damn once again I'm going back to the idea about getting another car! :0
I hope Scion will have one on display that I can play with during Chicago Auto show!

it will kinda be like that anyway, a lot of the parts should be interchangable so whatever included or optional parts should be able to go into either model if you want to pay for them.

the suspension is tuned different on the BRZ then it is on the FR-S, if you prefered one over the other you could, in theory, swap it out pretty easy.
