I've talked with 4 or 5 dealers so far and none of them were taking deposits yet, they just put me on a preliminary list until the car is in the system so they can start placing orders.

Sorry, but I'd interpret the Cosworth sticker more as a sign that the drift car is using a Cosworth prepared EJ shortblock and/or heads.

x 2. Not sure why pricing is such a secret if they are only planning to barely break even on the car like they claimed.

Even though its the BRZ this might be a good picture to compare it against.

I put in a deposit for my BRZ about two weeks ago at Hamilton Subaru. I was the second individual to put down a deposit at that dealer

I logged in just to say that

Due to the limited amount of time, the GReddy Racing Scion FR-S is currently powered by a Cosworth CS600 EJ25 long block and custom GReddy turbo kit with a front-mount intercooler. The EJ25 is a race proven and reliable boxer motor that offers many of the same benefits seen in the FA20 including a low center of gravity. We are currently working on a FA20 motor for use in future race programs.

Look by the tail light, you can see they added an external piece with dual sided tape! It looks like it's only on the rear quarter and not on the front fenders.

^Someone mentioned earlier it looks like a widebody mod.

Wow all I see is a tease, for an underpowered model. And really facebook while on the road? Thats what pulling over for and using a computer or a cell phone is. Shows that Toyota cares only about marketing. If I'm ever driving, I'm staying away from all the FR-S lol.

Price is all I care to see now, but I probably won't buy anyways now. If the standard is the same price but has a better navi, to justify the brz having HID, which would you guys rather buy? lol

It looks more like a big fender flare. Did they mentioned if its going to be a production piece or just for this car? I haven't been keeping tabs on the threads lately.

I don't believe it, most people put down deposit for a FT86 not a FR-S too. Like me, I'd probably move to a BrZ or pass. Since I didn't put a deposit on a Br-Z, I'd ride it out anyways.

i just dont get the point of why they developed a new engine between toyota/subaru and arent helping the tuner scene (who this car is meant for) by bringing out the Greddy turbo or Cosworth stroker kits - surely thats what the logo's are there for on the side of the car?

why advertise cosworth parts on an frs if there isnt even any developed for it?
