Scion FR-S Turbo Sedan Comes Into Focus (BRZ too I'd assume) - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Zaku · 12-20-2013, 02:20 PM

Even so, like look at how many midsized Sedans are out there. Is this what people really want? or they want a fun to drive RWD sedan that's a bit smaller. You know a 86 with usable back seats and two extra doors? lol not a AWD Hybrid WRX Legacy Sedan with Honda style 4WD.

and technically... anything on the 86 platform is kind of an 86, saying it's not is like saying the Levin isn't an 86 and the Trueno is the only one.

but honestly I think enthusiast thinking was something like, Oh 86 and 86 sedan like Integra and Integra sedan right? just RWD. Not... 86 Coupe, 86 hybrid turbo sedan awd....and another thing is that..

what is this going to cost us? cause it doesn't look like it's a corolla or Camry price, this looks like Lexus territory

Perfect. A proper Japanese e46 m3 competitor

Other than admitting that they seriously screwed up on the WRX styling

Maybe they won't sell many of them. If any at all. If Subaru can make some money by making them for Toyota I assume that's all that matters. It does seem to fit the Scion/Yota line up a lot better than the Subarus. If it doesn't have true AWD and it's styled a lot different it isn't direct competition to a WRX.

If Toyota can pull of a hybrid turbo, more specifically an electric turbo, then I'm all for it. The sedan version with all wheel drive wouldn't be bad to have, but I rather have a sports car. I mean that's the whole reason I've been interested in this car for so damn long.

CajunFRS · 12-20-2013, 02:27 PM

So many mixed emotions about this car. Lol!

TofuDelivery · 12-20-2013, 02:53 PM

this news is still too vague. i'll wait til they have something more official to announce. in the meantime, i'm happy with my FR-S

chaoskaze · 12-20-2013, 03:09 PM

I'm sure this will be under the wing of Lexus if it hits US market with a new name like FSX-300.

OICU812 · 12-20-2013, 03:35 PM

All hate no mixed emotions here.

tennisfreak · 12-20-2013, 03:36 PM

Too bad they only indicated the turbo would be for the sedan.

Not interested in turbo sedan ME WANT TURBO 86 Coupe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait, 300 (assuming crank) horsepower on a hybrid, PUMP powered car? I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm not holding my breath. 250 crank I could see.
