Scion has slowly been releasing teasers for its full length FR-S commercial video and they’ve just released the best (and longest) teaser yet.

Long enough to be a full feature commercial, it’s an exciting and frenetic look at some wicked FR-S driving action and angles! Check it out INSIDE.

Subaru has released a new promotional video / commercial titled “Out to Drive.” This is how Subaru describes the message behind the ad:

With the new SUBARU BRZ, what used to be so enjoyable seems to lose its appeal. In this approach we see that the driver who has discovered the enjoyment of driving the SUBARU BRZ is no longer satisfied with his previous interests and passions.

Check out the video after the jump.

July’s Motor Trend compares 6 cars discussed ad nausem here against each other, including the twins (BRZ and FR-S).

Jeff at Perrin shares with us his detailed look at the Subaru BRZ mechanicals and components, examining many of the interesting things about the car, from tires/wheels, to oil filter, to engine, exhaust, underbody, and suspension.

This one is a must read in our opinion! Check it out after the jump.


Road and Track takes three genuine sports car options under $30,000 from Hyundai, Mazda and Subaru and throws them into the ring against each other.

They test the Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring vs. Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec vs Subaru BRZ Premium to see which rear-drive sports coupe comes out on top. View the results inside.

The Scion site now has more detailed information on the factory BeSpoke audio system for the Scion FR-S, including downloads (app and manuals), requirements, and feature lists.

The Porsche Cayman is one of the world’s finest handling cars currently and it’s been mentioned by some in the automotive press when describing the handling of the Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ, which is paying a great compliment.

But Wheels Magazine of Australia has paid an even bigger compliment to the 86 by directly comparing the two cars in its ‘versus’ review. Check out what they have to say INSIDE.


Congrats to Toyota for its impressive showing at the prestigious (and just concluded) 24 Hours of Nurburgring race!

With its entrants – a Toyota 86 by Gazoo Raing, another Toyota 86 by Team Suisse Toyota, and an LFA by Gazoo Racing, Toyota took home three wins in each of the classes these cars were competing in!
