Anyone else see what looks to be front headlight washers [the square covers below the headlights]. Also fog lights in the outer bumper polygons with the turn signals, and [gasp] LED DRL's in headlight cluster. Looks to be a projector beam headlight

Also note the mini shark-fin antenna on the roof; no stupid whip antenna!

I think those have been legally required on new cars in europe for a while now. Judging by the plate, that's probably where these pics were taken.

I expected a car that looked amazing, that I could dump a ton of money into to make it fast. Unfortunately they butchered the car. I forgot that it was toyota/scion, I should've known better

Why don't you just keep your Z06 then? The FR-S will never be a straight-line car [DUH!]. It'd be like buying a Miata and expecting to kill at the dragstrip.

Is it just me or does it look similar to an Infiniti g35 coupe?

Yup. If you are going to "dump a ton of money into a car to make it fast" why not just throw a twin turbo kit on a Z06 and get +700hp out of it.

I had no intentions on getting rid of it

and if you're implying the z06 is a straight line car, well lol, please do some research

This actually brings up a good point. Scion might be bringing out a more aggressive/"stylized" version of the car than Toyota because of Scion's "image". If that's the case, then the car coming out as a Scion is only good news. But of course, this is probably more of a hope than actual prediction.

What I love about the FR-S is the wide/aggressive fenders and shallower roof line.

It's certainly toned down from the concepts - but they even said at the auto show that the concept represented what an owner might do to mod this car - so everyone should pretty much expect a "blank slate" with good engineering under it so you can modify the cosmetics to taste with aftermarket. That said, I hope the final production version has *some* pizazz to it - maybe a "sport appearance package" with ground effects or something - so we don't have to wait for aftermarket support (poor fitting issues, etc).

Because it's already quick enough. 200 doesn't quite cut it though

Do work yourself.
