Go test drive one if you haven't. I love the idea of the car, but I was underwhelmed by it. I'd still prefer a Miata over it. Although I'm anxiously waiting to see if GM will make the competitive car for it.

Also, the Scion will be cheaper and have less options (those are things you want in these types of cars)

Now that I think of it, I would probably trade my monte if I could have a Nissan GT-R

That Fr-S is too nice, so menacing!

I personally don't care for the Miata (never drove one though), but I respect those cars. Stock Miata's on an autocross course are AWESOME! The move and handle so well! Once you watch a couple go through an autocross car, like them or not, it's hard NOT to respect them.

I would never trade my Monte. I've put far too much into it. Blood sweat tears and money. Too many first-time big custom modifications, most permanent. It's staying with me for life and then some lol. Just couldn't do it. Not for a Camaro, not for a GT-R. I would however give up some other things to get one of those though

Yeah I looked at the FR-S and BRZ compared them looked at reviews.I porbably would go with Scion since the price is cheaper. I like it for the style less for performance... but there is rumor of a turbo version coming out.

Seriously go test drive it. I know it's not supposed to be fast, but the TQ curve is way too high in the upper rpm band. It just feels toooo sluggish when you drive normally.

Trade the Intimidator SS? NOT A CHANCE! I just rolled 167K on this ol' winter beater. It's THE best winter driver I've EVER had, and in 42 years of driving, I've driven them ALL!

That being said, The Intimidator IS my winter beater. I've been driving our '82 Old's 98 Regency 2 dr coupe for the last 3 summers. But the miles are starting to rack up on that at about 90K now. SoI AM looking for a summer beater now, so I can retire the Olds to antique status, as it's basically cherry condition.

What am I looking for? Something sporty, rear wheel drive, with a V-8 and a manual transmission. Specifically, an '88 Fiero GT with a Northstar V-8 and a 5 speed. But I'm open to anything affordable right now, like a '96 Mustang GT.

What I REALLY want is a BLUE car. But they paint cars every day.
