Re: Pics from FRS/BRZ meetup in Torrance

Am I the only person who doesn't really care for the FRS?
I mean they're nice cars, that black/grey one especially, but they just seem rather uninteresting to me. It reminds my too much of a Hyundai Genesis rahter than an old AE86 Corolla to which it pays homage...

Re: Pics from FRS/BRZ meetup in Torrance

I think its the nicest car ever in the NON luxury class. Its a real stunner in person. Even looks better than any current Mercedez, BMW or Audi on the street.

I agree with you. In fact, I have to say I find the Genesis way more intriguing and better designed.

They just look like modified TC's to me.

And they look way better in pictures than in person.

Don't get me wrong though, I still think they're nice cars.

Re: Pics from FRS/BRZ meetup in Torrance

Mmmmmm love this car so much. Definitely agree with the above comment about a nice set of aftermarket wheels too. I really hope this is the car the revitalizes the tuning scene. It looks like it so far with the number of well sorted BRZ/FRS demo cars already out there.
