Just saw Scion FRS

880 · 06-12-2012, 06:14 PM

First one that I saw in this area.

Doesn't look bad, but $25k is way too much for this car.

It just looks like a fast, mean car. But for 200 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque, its all looks.

I think with a turbo or something a little more peppy to it, they could be onto something.

Saw one the other day also. Neat lookin car but not my cup of tea.

Sent from the rocket in my pocket, my all powerful DROID BIONIC.

But the FRS/BRZ are light, 200hp moves them pretty well.

Saw the Subaru version. I love it. Make a fun track car. I like to think of it as a Mazda MX-5 Coupe.

Why couldn't they just give us want the consumer wanted. 300+ Hp in the car...

Saw one the other night, thought it looked like a 350Z had sex with a Genesis.

Looked acceptable from the front, didn't enjoy the rear.

Okay car I suppose, just not my taste.

Saw one. Drove one. Very fun to drive.
I am used to small, quick cars so it brought back good memories. Sure it doesn't pull as hard as the Camaro. But it feels like a surgical knife cutting corners.

We should all give thanks that ricers now have an alternative to the infernal Civic.

You guys wait...if rumor is true that Subaru launches the sti version of this car next year, it'll be a camaro ss killer if it will hook. 305 hp is current sti mill.

But then they would charge$35k forthe car.
The marketing is targeting buyers who like Mazda Miata and the original versions of the RX7 and the greatest of them all, the Datsun 240Z.
Reasonable horsepower combined with awesome handling does make a quick car.

With possible body panel gaps a quarter inch out of alignment and a manufacturer who told dealers to monitor the situation because they have no idea how to fix it.

No thanks Toyota.

the car is light weight and with mods and a tune it will be a beast.

Ok if you were Toyota/ Subaru and wanted to make a profit how much would the msrp on this brand new fresh of the drawing board 200hp light weight sports car?

Heck my buddy's wife just spent $23k on a Corolla, so I think $25k for a true sports car is cheap for a 2013 model.
