FR-S at Toyota/Scion National HQ
 

*Yes this is something that we have all seen but I just wanted to share*

So I work across the street from Toyota/Scion National Headquarters. Last week me and a friend would go sneak into their lot and drive around to see if we could see the car but couldn't see anything. Yesterday during break we saw a FR-S drive by. We both jumped up and started running towards my friends car to chase it. The car was no where to be seen. After work we went driving through their lot determined to find this car. When we pulled up to the main lot this is what we found.

My friend knows someone who works there and today we will be going down there to actually check it out and not just take pictures of it from the outside. I will take as many pictures as I can. Anyone have any picture requests?

I believe this is the same demo car with the TRD exhaust that has been in the states for a few months now..

try to get a good video of the trd exhaust sound and a pic of what it looks like underneath the car! :D

Will do that.

thank you :D, if anything i hope it sounds like my trd exhaust :D

Mudflaps. :drool:

I didn't even notice them; they're so subtle!

Alright I just came back from right now from checking another FR-S out. It wasn't the black one that I posted about earlier so I couldn't get pics of the TRD exhaust and underneath or a video of it. The one that I saw today was a white automatic one. Man the white is beautiful. Its that pearly white looking color i think you guys know what I'm talking about. Too many pics to post on here in a comment so I am uploading the pics to an album right now. I took 3 videos that I will upload to youtube as well. This makes me HATE waiting till I get it.

I was going to drive it around but the guy that was showing it to us told us that it had just been cleaned out because the main Boss of the Toyota/Scion National HQ was going to take it out for a drive. LUCKY dude!

Yea get a good sound clip of the exhaust

The one from the 1st 86 trip didn't do it for me not enough revs to really hear it

Here is the album for the white one that we checked out today

Videos to come soon.

Great, now I'm debating between white or asphalt, LOL.

Thank you for the pictures

The white is BEAUTIFUL

Some nice shots there in your album - definitely confirms my order choice. And the stock wheels actually look pretty good with this color - don't like them with any of the other shades.

Must have been frustrating getting so close to a drive!

Yess very frustrating. But hey at least I got to sit in it and listen to it and look at it lol

BTW here are the 3 videos that I recorded. The video of me starting it up, I was just too excited and didn't know what to record haha

love the sound of the exhaust:party0030:

Going to go check out some other colors today, from what i know Asphalt and Lava. Possible drive one around since they have a few now. Its pretty cool working across the street from Toyota. Will take more pics and vids with a waaaay better camera. The ones provided before were taken with my phone.

So the guy that we know that works at Toyota wasn't answering his emails so me and my friend went down there and drove around for a while and saw these:

Asphalt

Hot Lava

So no joy ride today either :(

Wow that Asphalt really shows the dirt, does not do it any favours. Glad I passed.

White and Silver are now the best colors. They make the headlights look decent. But damn i like black.

Funny the FR-S looks better in lighter colors (because of the headlights) and the BRZ looks better in darker colors (because of the front black trim on the bumper)...and the 86 looks good in all the colors (because of the blacked out HID headlights)

^ +1 on everything you said (except the bit about silver, it's so done these days, and personally since I've had a silver car for years I am bored to death of the colour). I'd add that the wheels look by far the best with the white, OK with Asphalt and black.

Nice, I knew everyone was going to start liking the SWP... I wanted the color cuz no one wanted it, now everyone wants it :(

Where is this Toyota scion HQ located? I live in Torrance and was told it was there I just don't know where it is.

Somewhere on Western right by the 405.

Ah nice near the DMV area cool I'll be in that area Monday. Thanks.

Our Toronto group buy was about 60% Whiteout (including yours truly)- someone joked we should do a parade with them - 7 or 8.

I'll need to find a new photo for my avatar lol. Except I like this one. Too bad I can't pshop it SWP.

Have you seen Asphalt/DGM in person? It's amazing looking. Love the flakes in it. I hope I know someone that gets that color so I can tell him/her how hot the car looks.

797 why you no wash black FRS i no want to see dirt.

All current FR-S demo cars have 797 license plate

I understand. I work for the 797 region of Toyota. I just laugh when I see a nice car like this black FRS. ( BTW I ordered a black myself) With dirt on the rear bumper. I understand that it happens it just makes me laugh.
