For the sake of argument, I'd say get an FRS. But back to my opinion, the styling is extremely boring and conservative, and would never stand out to me in gridlock traffic. With a hideous front that resembles a Tiburon without makeup, and a rear that looks like an s2000, styling wise, it looks very been there seen that.
When I sat in one in the showroom, I was appalled at how cheap everything looked and felt. Was really surprised that I was sitting in a $30K car.
Obviously though after Garm is done modding it, it will be a far cry from stock, lol.

Dare I say I like the Fiat better? The Fiat stands out looks wise and appears to have lots of goodies already installed from the factory. The FRS looks kinda like a Hyundai. Not a very exciting design. Also, living in the Northeast rear drive is pretty much a no go in winter. I'm sure the Fiat is probably not very reliable, and there's only one dealer in my county I'd be stuck using..... I'm thinking Fiat will last 2-3 years more max since they just don't seem seem to sell well at all as compared to the Minis...... Remember the Daewoo Lanos, Nubria, and Leganza??? Daihatsu Charade and Rocky? Or perhaps the Yugo GV? All gone!
