I had the exact same thought.
Can someone photoshop the turtle drifting on the sign?

"Anyone who complains that the Scion FR-S doesn’t have enough power simply does not get it."
I like it. |

I agree. The rear, in white, really does look like a storm troopers car!

"The AC, fan and heater controls in the FR-S are very easy to use dials instead of more complicated pushbutton units found in other cars. I like that.
However, what I like even more is the fact that there’s a little pocket underneath the AC controls, with just enough room for an iPhone and/or iPod. Even better than that is the small rubber lip that sits at the edge of the pocket, which prevents your iPhone from sliding out onto the floor in the middle of a spirited driving session. AWESOME." Good! |

Agreed. I just wish it had a USB port inside the pocket. That way you could leave the cable plugged in but out of sight. I wonder if the unit has one on the back, might have to rig something up that way.

the simplicity of this car is something I LOVE!! so many cars these days lean so incredibly heavily on electronics...this car is a slice of old school in very attractive contemporary packaging. i started to entertain the thought of looking at a used 11'-'12 Mustang GT 5.0...but not even that car is as simple and well packaged as the FR-S. a lot faster, but probably not as fun and certainly not as efficient.

No I agree, I just hate cables hanging everywhere.
