I just test drove the FR-S today and I was amazed at the precision and performance of it by the way.

did you read the review or read the numbers? doesnt seem like you have read the review, because it said what every review said for Genesis (and Mustang).

Then the thread title is misleading

Booooooo

To me its just great these cars are offered and again I don't find any a bad car to own, they are all winners in their ways. At least some brands are building sports/sporty cars.

Too bad they offer it as Scion here in the states, that means less option level than Subaru, I would get the BRZ over FRS in a heartbeat, and wouldn't mind paying more for it since it's better equiped.

you're wrong, the title of the article is "28k high performance two doors". it does say the vehicles are 'for well under 30 large' so maybe that's what you were thinking.

the interior and wheels on that gti are laughably ugly and a fail compared to the rest.
interesting how they like the subie a bit more than the scion for the included gear in the model they had plus less twitchy handling setup. freaking awesome. i want one.

Ah, so that's why the WRX isn't included. I would really, really love to see how it would fare against it's new sibling. Same price but AWD and +60hp...but also 500 lbs heavier.

read the full article... they say you can get Mustang for 25k with track package and no extra options theirs had. No selective reading!

Great crowd. Toyota/Lexus has been kicking *** in comparos and there is hardly a peep. When Lexus/Toyota doesn't offer sport or gets beat in a comparo everyone and their momma comments.

Awesome!
