So guys, I heard a rumor of a 4-door Scion FR-S sedan. Now, I'm definitely sitting in the "I'll believe it when i see it" boat, but the concept is still pretty interested.
Again, This is so far pretty much just a rumor and I'm not trying to trick anyone here. I just wanted to see what you guys thought about this idea.
It is said that Toyota is really trying to push this new idea for a sedan FR-S, but it's Subaru that is dragging it's heels, explicitly stating that they have no interest. And without Subaru's cooperation, there is very little chance that this could come to fruition.
This new design will mean shorter front doors, and considerably more room for the rear two seats. The car will obviously be slightly longer, which will be approximately an extra 20 inches. It will incorporate a B-pillar for all four doors, so no more cool framleess windows Just as well the new design includes the same turbo 2.0 liter engine as the Subaru Legacy, which is approximately another 100 horsepower than the current FR-S specs.
My opinion: I like it. I probably won't get it. But I like it. Expanding the reach of the marvelous GT86
to people who want more power, need larger back seats, and/or prefer the potential insurance reductions is a wonderful idea in my opinion.
I just didn't see a post around here about it, and I really would like to see people's thoughts on this. So please leave your comments or thoughts. And remember that this is just a rumor so far, and I don't want to make anyone think otherwise.
I look forward to reading what you guys say!
