I sat in it and played around but I'm not sure for the public opening. I would assume it'd be open but it looks like they locked it and the BRZ up for the VIP event tonight.

I think it was cause we bought a Caravan from them 7 years ago, quite a long time for them to be still sending us promotional stuff. A+ for trying that's for sure.

It's locked at the auto show
Even buttered up the guy before asking to unlock it but he said they don't even have the keys down there...BS or not, you can't sit in either

I like the headlights. They look more aggressive angular rather than circular.

Saw it at the autoshow and it badly needs a drop. Can't believe the stock height is so high, I fit five fingers in the wheel gap.

I was looking at this at this thing at auto show and noticed a couple things:

-bolt pattern is 5x100
-exhaust hangs really really low, and even at the tiny stock diameter, it had a bunch of dents / restrictions in it to clear various things under there
-with the front seats set to a fairly average position, the back seats had zero leg room

Scion rep also said the stock offset was +43. Was kinda hoping for lower than that.

Still, for $26,000.. really tempted.

^ yeah, definitely not a car to get if one actually plans on using the back seats. Interesting about the exhaust...Hopefully it's just been driven carelessly and it's not gonna scrape every pebble when lowered

I kinda felt like switching allegiances to the BRZ after seeing both at the AutoShow.......... that front eggcrate grille on the FR-S looked soooooooo cheap in real life

The rear diffuser looks nicer on the BRZ too.

BRZ pricing here - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB

US pricing for the BRZ released:


"We now have the US price for the premium MT at $25,495 - $1315 higher than the FR-S. If we assume that gap will grow to say $1700 here (a generous assumption given WRX markups) that will give a CAD price for the Premier MT of $27690. For that extra $1700 you get:

- HIDs
- different dash
- different seat fabric
- LED DRLs
- EDIT: nav now INCLUDED (see press releases from today at Subaru Canada)
- different HU (TBD)
- black tach
- interior trunk lid lining
- auto-on headlights"
