Funny, I'm torn by the opposite, in a sense. I have always bought used. But if Toyota does what I want I feel compelled to buy new to support them.

I suppose. However, I'm still wondering what that GSport will be labeled as, because there hasn't been any information stating it'll be a Scion. Hence my comment before this. ;p

Of course its now set in stone that the FR-S is going to be a Scion now (which still does suck. Lol). Scion (guessing) <25k. Subaru 25-28k+Turbo and RWD?


[Kind of not related]Ok I'm still subie nub, but I can't take the word that comes out of everyones' mouth when they say things like.. Mitsubishi's Tranny's constantly have problems at around 4-5 year mark and the occasional "Don't get a subie! They have tranny problems like mitsu!" Better to get info directly from guys who know their cars than just asking people who's opinions are already biased.[/ kind of not related]

The G's sport is built with the collaboration of Gazoo Racing and Toyota. Toyota will offer a lineup of Gazoo tuned cars to the Japanese market in 2010 (aka, they already should have). Hence, other markets will not be seeing the G's Sport version. As far as seeing an FR-S turbo?

*prepares to repeat on this*


Scion does not offer different trim levels or packages. The car comes with some features standard, and the rest is added on via accessories. We can be guaranteed that the base Scion FR-S will be N/A. Scion, in the past, has only offered a Force Inducted addon once, in 2005, with a supercharger for the tC. It was very very BRIEF, and Scion has not done it again since. That does not mean to say we won't see a turbo addon option for the FR-S, but what it does mean is, don't get your stinkin' hopes up too high about it. As far as the other things the G's sport package changed on the Mk1 FT-86, those should be standard accessories from Scion (rear lid spoiler, side skirts, misc. aero addons, etc.)

Don't worry, there's always the subie. All I can hope for is an affordable base car . . . hopefully starting at $23k

I'm not getting my hopes up, but you never know. They may not offer any trims right off the bat, but by 2014, 2015 they might add some improvements.

Can we really quantify the MKII (design by Dezi) and the MKIII (by Axis) as valid concepts->production? These were side projects to see what other designers can come up with. I have a slight feeling that the final production might not look anything like the MKII and MKIII.

You are correct. Production will probably take styling cues from them but in the end Mk1 looks the most production ready.
