Anyone have good/bad experience with Scion? Is that made by Toyota?
This car looks hot! However, not sure on this co. history.

The FR-S is a project between Subaru and Toyota, sold under three brands in the global market; Toyota, Scion, and Subaru.

Still think Toyota should have kept the Toyota name and labeled the car the Celica. Here's a small, sporty, two door coupe with a four cylinder, rear wheel drive, and decent fuel efficiency with plenty of tuning potential. This car seems truer to the original Celica than the last Celica (a hot looking car in it's own way). They could have taken another page of successful Toyota history and use it's platform to make an all wheel drive hot 6 cylinder model and call it a Supra.

Reports are this car is having quality issues all ready. It sounds like a good idea, but I dont know yet.

They claim an AWD system doesn't fit, due to body design.

They wanted a very low front end, which is partly why a Boxer engine was used as well, the Subaru crowd is obviously yelling for an AWD STi version, but official word as of now is that at least AWD is out (Turbocharging however is not. )
