thats nice I guess, heres the paddle shifters on an Accord from 3 years ago. Having paddle shift for automatics is pretty much standard nowadays.

you keep changing it. You bring in 350Z no where is it mentioned anywhere else. Lease / ownership. Gas milage is not performance. we can drop that.

I am just going to talk about toyota performance from here on out.
1. Is this a performance car?
2. Is this a toyota?

ISF 0-60 4.2 seconds.
skid pad 0.93g

1. with those numbers yes (it does not beat other cars but it is in the same neighborhood)
2. yes

LFA do we really need to see numbers? we know its fast.

1. yes
2. yes

Can we get a definition of a sports/performance car? I think this maybe the problem.

Is the WRX a performance car?

yeah the Legacy does but I dont think WRXs here do. all the STI A-Lines in other countries have paddle automatics though. And yeah i had to look it up, Ive never been in a automatic WRX either lol

Okay all you little hobbits, we've trudged through Mordor now lets bring this thread back to the shire again.

here we go, how about a pic of the FRS and our own Impreza for a size comparison, yeah its going to be small!



pretty much an exact match with an S2k, so yeah it must be even smaller than it looks in the pics.

People are confusing sports car with high horsepower car. Sports car were never traditionally known for their high horsepower, but their agile handling etc. point being sports car doesn't mean the fastest in a straight line.

The car looks small, the Subaru looks better then the Toyota from the pictures I have seen. How about that LFA? you here about Kyle Bush test driving the LFA for Toyota, got caught doing 128mph in a 45mph zone!

pretty sure we havent seen the Subaru version yet. The pics from auto shows have all been the Scion FR-S, the Subaru one isnt supposed to be out till late next year, and I'm sure it will be called something different as well.
