Other than the Ford name there is very little "American" about the RS!

Yes but most of the population doesn't know that, and I'm sure like the video you posted they're more excited about a MALIBU than anything else. LOL FOX.

Somebody at Toyota saw that video and is already making plans to make the FR-S look more like the Focus.

Point goes to Zak!

Great to see that they kept orange turn signals in the rear tail light assembly.

That front bumper is pretty awful. And the 86 fender badge is kinda lame...

Maybe the big surprise will come when Toyota releases a power curve and we all realize it's not just a 5 lb. ft. torque increase but it's also a total elimination of the mid-range dip. A man can dream!

Actually I think if you just get rid of the damned hood line between the eyes and move it down to the edge it look much better.

No, like in my picture above. Basically, make the hood include everything down to below the badge. Its subtle on silver but makes a big difference (to me) on darker (and red) cars.

Got the email from Scion about transition. One question answered in the FAQ:

Q: Will Toyota dealers still be using Pure Price and Pure Process Plus?

A: For MY17, the iA, iM and FR-S will remain monospec and a single price. After that, we will evaluate how pricing for those vehicles as Toyotas will be carried out. Regarding Pure Process Plus, it’s specific to Scion so it won’t be available at Toyota dealers.

>>OK, no video here, just screen shots. Video was a waste for us.<<

Notice the FR....ummm 86 is so ashamed that it is hiding it's nose in all the stills!
