Just read the whole article. Very nice write up by Jeff! "Space Invaders or Carbon Fiber?" hahaha
Very subtle differences that I would've never known about otherwise since I don't associate (yet) with any FR-S owners. |

Well, I'm sure they didn't mean "performance-wise". I'm assuming aesthetically since they mention it helps break up the plain-ish wheel. I could dig that. If they weren't so busy hating on each other they could've taken design cues from each other. I think the FR-S has some nicer touches, especially having "FR-S" on the mats. Why no "BRZ" on the mats, Subaru?!!?! WWWWHHYYY???!!!

Nice to have the differences listed in one place, but why did they keep swapping the pictures left and right? Would have been better if they kept them consistent.

I'm glad someone else brought this up. It was annoying having to double-check pictures to make sure I was looking at the correct car sometimes.

Wow. I didn't realize they differed from one another so much in the cosmetic department. Good to know nonetheless.

I feel the BRZ is much nicer looking and more well equipped it's a no brainer for the slight price difference.

Though the fogs are ****ing useless given how low the car is. At least now I can feel good about a JPM Coachworks Alcantara® steering wheel matching my interior. |

I only noticed because I asked her to use her headlight levelers on the wall and they weren't moving. I thought it was busted until I switched the headlights ON. |

Nice read!
I have seen the BRZ up close on the road about 5 times in diff colors and trim levels - Limited hands down! I have not seen the FR-S on the road though so I can't comment on it. If I wasn't anxiously waiting the new WRX STI to come out I would actualy get a limited in BLK. If new WRX STI isn't what I hope it is maybe the BRZ might still find it's way into my driveway.... Only time will tell. |

I can't really tell a difference between fogs on/off with the headlights on.

With headlights on, no you won't. They aren't like the pre-2004 Impreza that had huge, significant fog lights. If you turn off your headlights, though, and the roads aren't crappy and it's not raining (or... foggy) then you'll see what I mean.
People will definitely see you, though, which is all that really matters for those things. I would like to look into the reverse fog light for the BRZ. |

Loved my bugeye's fog lights. Why would I have my headlights off in the fog or rain...? Fog lights are supposed to supplement headlights aren't they?

Ive had both, I still say BRZ all the way because of its interior and subaru reputation, which will probably have a higher resale value than the scion or toyota counterparts.
