Isn't Scion supposed to be funky and different? I like that the back doesn't flow with the front. It looks different for a quick revision of the tC. With some good wheels and a drop, it'll look better than the original.

I like this model a lot, but there's no way in hell I'll give up my xB2. Not after all the heads I turn with my mods.

You guys should test drive it first before you make a decision. I bet it's a blast to drive.

Default Toyota ft-86 to be named Fr-S

http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1...-be-named-fr-s

I think whats funny is that there are a million sites saying a million different things. Celica, Ft-86, FrS????

Do you all think this vehicle will fit better in the Scion line-up or Toyota? My worry is that it will end up Subaru.

theres no proof that the ft-86 is gonna be released. let alone released as a celica. my regional toyota/scion reps are saying that its definitely not going to be a celica. they discontinued the celica because it didnt sell, they arent going to come out with another car and call it the same thing as something that failed. its going to be released as a new model.

Yeh....but the body is so.... ugly... It's too boxy IMO. It lost it's uniqueness. Now it resembles all the other coupes on the road. The first gen just seems to pop more. But maybe that's just me.

Features-wise I guess it's ok. But I'm not going to buy a car just because of it's features. It looks like they took the 1G and put it in a trash compactor then added a few new gadgets. Not trying to hate on anyone that does like it. It just isn't my cup of Mountain Dew.
