In the states we're getting this branded as the scion frs. The toyota and sabaru versions, which are the exact same car, won't make it state side. The Subaru might I think, and it's got some nicer features. The scion seems to be the base. I'm VERY excited about this car. I feel dirty for being this excited about a *gulp* scion but this thing should be awesome. It's going to be the best drivers car this side of an Elise. Yeah 200 hp doesn't sound like a lot, but when you put it into perspective that this weighs only a few hundred pounds more than a miata it kinda brings it home. And it has a lower center if gravity than a 458. And the perfect 86x86 bore x stroke should let the engine rev like a mofo. All in the $20,000 range!? Sign me up! I've literally gone from thinking 'thats a cool car' to thinking 'I wonder if my hockey gear fits'. I love my camaro, but come spring you can bet I'll be giving one of these a
serious look.
Edit - the Subaru will make it to the states. Looks like it will get ~10hp more in us trim and the subaru will have better suspension bits as well as better trim then the scion. It will debut at the das. Sign me up for that one!!!
