If you were there and part of the hype train when the first gen was announced you would understand the hate. I wanted one so bad. Then my local dealer got a shipment of them in and I got to test drive one that same day. Nearly 3 years of hype gone in an instant and replaced with hatred and disappointment.

I know this maybe hard to understand for the younger people on this board but being someone that lived through the 90s/00s where a clean 240sx could be had for as low as $3k at one point, having the opportunity to buy an FRS that felt the same without any of the charm for over $20k felt like an insult. I'm not going to bend over backwards at the chance to pay extra for something that used to be a given. The engine sounds like a jar of angry bees being shaken while fuck-all acceleration happens and the gear shifter felt like it was made entirely of rubber-bands.

It broke my JDM-only delusions in a single test drive. Its like a 90s car that was put back into production but in the worst way possible. Like it missed 20 years of evolution.
