That doesn't have the right shape to be the FR-S. Looks more like a 1st gen tC to me...

6'5 and no problem with headroom? That's a plus

Quick question?

Did they tell you that it was the Pioneer Premium sytem or was it actually the new Pioneer Bespoke system because the head units for the two look identical. Also was the car you drove indicative of a standard featured FR-S or was the audio system some sort of upgrade?

It would be interesting if Scion decided to offer the Pioneer Premium as the standard audio system with the Bespoke being their usual $500 upgrade. I have no problems with the premium system it is very good for factory audio.

Of course if they are going all in, as tripjammer believes, and offering Bespoke standard then that's even better.

No bs. Its light, its responsive, quick acceleration, smoothest shortest clutch ive ever driven. Responsive brakes, touchy throttle.

Thanks for the great info titusdrake! Sounds too good, cant wait to drive one!

My question is if you measured the trunk lid? I'm trying to figure out how big that is to see what spoiler will fit for time attack.

How is the paint job? In picture 7 (or 8 if you count the tc), is that major orange peel or is it just me.

(K) · 03-20-2012, 11:34 AM

Looks like orange peel to me. Nothing a little wet sanding won't fix?

I dont know how much it costs yet =(

Point taken. Let me ask you this: With all the cars you have owned or driven and with what they cost new, what do you think the FR-S should sell for in the US. I have owned many of the same cars you listed plus a few. I would be interested in your opinion of where the "fun" factor should land the Scion pricewise in comparison.

because i had it on my c5 and the gencoupe has it too, did the FRS have a "miles remaining on tank" type of readout somewhere?

I would think so, my 2010 xD has this reading in the same spot where the odometer would be. You just have to cycle through it using the stalk that resets the trip odo.

Is this Pioneer stereo an option or standard?

Dionysus · 03-20-2012, 04:34 PM

I think it's an option.
