Exclamation Potential 4-Door Scion FR-S, Thoughts?

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!

I realize that most people already know bout this, but it is the first I've heard about it and I've seen no other posts on this forum.

I didn't post it to so much inform people, as much as to get an idea about what people think about it.

Toyota is currently working on a Scion FRS mini van. It will fit 5 comfortably and is meant to replace the Toyota Matrix. I heard this from my Cousin's boyfriend's mechanic who works in the mechanic shop that specializes in BMW's that is next to the Toyota dealership. You heard it here first.

That looks just like the twins! Even with 4 doors, the similarities are uncanny.

Really? I just read that they threw that idea out the window and went with a FRS-UV. They said that it is going to be the most powerful and advance SUV in the world. Rumors say that they will be going with their latest flat 10 engine and keeping the sticky prius tires. I can't wait

As long as it isn't faster than the coupe. Also, I'd like it because then my dad would get one while I would keep my coupe

I hope this isn't serious but it strangely looks like an RX-8.

Meh, just do a 2+2 like the Z31 and Z32 300ZX's did...

Coupes to that turn into 4 doors can look odd sometimes.

Fail. Sports cars are only 2 door vehicles.
