Scion FRS turbo 2017

I've seen the pics, I've read but is it really going to happen. And the BRZ they are thinking about 300hp and it looks like a BRZ mixed with WRX

I thought maybe these cars are dying off because of the bad sales?

Popcorn popped.


Seriously though, if that blue STI brz came in at ~35K I would drive it. That would be corvette performance (basically) as a baseline.

The only thing confirmed is that a 2017 model will happen, and it'll probably have new bumpers and tail lights. The end.

Concepts again. All talk.

Toyota's newest concept car is the S-FR which they stated would be below the gt86/FRS in terms of HP and extra room. Why would they further that gap by adding a turbo when they stated, "Hey, here's a new car that we're thinking about, if you want to step it up a notch go for our other car the FR-S".

Why would Subaru make a "WRX Lookalike?" The 2016 WRX's are already 268-305 HP so it would make no sense to make a car that is in the same HP range. If anything, I'd think they'd bring the hothatch back for those who prefer the Sedan vs Hatch.

I figured. Someone posted the BRZ STI Concept, so I'm assuming other article used Scion FR-S Concept or GRMN FT-86 Concept (aka Mk1.5) as their photos on their article.

Kinda funny that, BRZ STI Concept using EJ207 engine... so not sure it's wise of them to go back to EJ engine instead of FA engine.

The only reason I am replying is the entertainment I got from the "http://www.autocarnewshq.com/2017-scion-frs-turbo-specification/" link. This is a wonderful demonstration of how you can choose to approach SEO. First, buy a domain that will track high on google. Next, buy a pieces of software that tracks the amount of people searching for a specific set of keywords. After that, give the software access to your domain where it then generates pages using keyword phrases to separate out the content with header tags. Then, the software mines Google for content and images to fill in beneath the head tags. Finally, it 'spins it together' into the amalgam of shit we see before us. As opposed to actually hiring someone to produce original, quality content.

The key here is the website cost almost zilch to set up, the content is stolen from other websites, doesn't make any sense, and every once in a while someone will click an advertisement. The person/ company probably has hundreds or thousands of these sites bringing in a few dollars a day and they make a living. Anyway, this is how lazy people approach SEO.

I love it!

It isn't smart at all. They wouldn't and shouldnt go back to the EJ series. The EJ257s that we got here in the states have always been a P.O.S engine. Honestly this is another one of those clickbait motoring.au threads that has no research no credibility.
