ummm first paragraph of article provides "unnamed designer".

"The only thing we’re sure of is that the FR-S platform has been designed to support a sedan body style , as Toyota chief engineer Tetsuya Tada revealed last year."

It's not a rebadge, it's a sedan based on the Fr-S, specifically the announced it would lated include a hybrid model as well as a all wheel drive model.

If you click the article, there is a picture. It's not bad, to be honest

Isn't this just the Yaris?

In any case it is still more likely that Scion is just getting a rebadged sedan version of this. If there was a sedan 86 being made, it would be global news/rumors from Toyota and Subaru, not just Scion in North America.

The dude at my local dealer has as much credibility as anyone, and he has said the FR-S goes away in 16. YR(umours)MayVary.

Wasn't Scion saying that they were going to use a car derived from a Mazda2 chassis? I don't have the link, but that seems like a likely candidate.

A Fr-s Sedan with AWD isn't that a subaru impreza?

Pic is just for LOLs

Yikes. Yeah, that other article has about as many facts as your favorite major 24 hour news network op-ed.

Holy crap! What a nice looking sedan ^^

Tromatic · 01-19-2015, 01:58 AM

The new FR-S will be a a Scion-badged LFA. Said that many times.

Your citations appear to be in order.

It is a Mazda 2 based sedan that will be built in Mexico. This has pretty much been confirmed.

As an aside, I'd love an FR-S based sedan. I'd want a turbo 4 in that, though. I don't see that happening because the WRX exists and this country seems convinced that you need AWD on everything.
