Yeah except Ferrari's are usually longer in the end since they are rear engine.

Thanks kiya.

Since I cant get into the scion site it's good to be able to read what was said on stage during the release.

Need hp/tq., gear ratios, but most importantly, weight!

Too bad the release is 'next year.' I want it. Bad.

It can't imagine it looking any better. It's gorgeous. The only problem could be similar to what the latest Celicas were faced with, it looks a lot faster than it is. Hopefully it's kind to engine mods though.

Although that guy does look a bit tall and farther forward than the concept. The idea still remains. It's tiny .

I like this part:

"While the FR-S you see today is a concept vehicle… we envision that the sports car physique wouldn’t stop with the aggressive exterior. The interior would share the same DNA… designed with both form and function in mind. I envision it would be the perfect daily driver AND weekend warrior. How about a 2+2 seating configuration… with a fold-flat cargo area large enough to transport a full set of race-spec tires… a floor jack and the necessary pit tools for a fun day at the track? Because you and I know that not all enthusiasts have a truck and trailer."
