whoa......exterior is pure sexy, but interior has too much going on. It need to be smoother to match the exterior. Did Subaru touch the interior?

I definitely want to test drive one.....when will it available??

A much more detailed engine bay photo. I added some notes for identification/interesting bits:

Can we get a mirrored image of the interior?

If this costs under $25k, like, fully loaded, or with at least 1 package, that would be nice.

Engine bay looks like a mess.
Any space to add turbo?

Here is one - I also resized it to be a bit smaller.

very compact

the interior looks weird with the placement of the central air vents though
id prefer if the NAV screen went up there instead of below it

Strange dash. Looks like it's bursting or exploding on each side. =(

I really like it! Both exterior and interior rocks.

The FR-S is like the cousin of the LFA.

The steering wheel is almost just like the one on the LFA.

The two toned seats, the stitching, and the red on the door handle reminds me of the LFA also.

Great job Toyota, now give us a price and the car already!

btw, ggravant, thanks for flipping the pic

^Well, yeah the steering wheels are completely different, I meant that the red on the steering wheel as well as the red on the door handles reminds me of the LFA. Same with the stitching.

Might look better when you get a nice and shiny 2-DIN headunit in there
