They did it this way because hands-on beats illustrations and because it gives them better control over who gets early access to the details. And hype.
Oh ok, Thanks I now understand.:happy0180:

But do you know what would be cool?

We convert the FRS into AWD. We'll have a baby GT-R, haha.

so are the FR-S in the photos, "production" versions?

at least the one doesn't have the leather(faux-leather?) and red stitched hand brake and the one pic with the corner of the seats, i can't tell if it still has the red shoulder sections or the red strip down the back like the "preproduction/options shown" scion photos.

I had resigned myself to the believe that all the USDM FRS will have those hideous red shoulder areas. It will be a pleasant surprise if they go to production without them.

If the WRX/STi is capable doing it with the Boxer, shouldn't the FR-S have the capability of also.

Couldn't you just add a transaxle in the front?

Just Wondering....

What's that electric car on the lift in the background? Just curious. I don't pay attention to the crossover or SUV markets.

The front wheels are too far forward in relation to the transmition to allow a normal transaxle.
