Fiat 500 Abarth or Scion FR-S?

[why?]

From what I've read everyone that has one is madly in love with the FR-S. Handling is almost too aggressive from what a lot of people are saying, especially with the Prius tires.

Plus there are constant rumors of factory boost coming.

The tires the FR-S comes with are very thin 17's that originally were on the Prius as a sport option.

While I don't think they are low traction eco tires, they are nowhere near as grippy as the top of the line tires most enthusiasts would choose.

i've read somewhere that they intentionally put those tires on so that the car can more easily get loose. i don't know - maybe that's true or maybe they just had a lot of prius tires laying around? either way i vote for the fr-s!
