Autoguide gushes on Scion FR-S (w/ track drift video). Says destined to become icon. - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I kinda want so see a blue one with blue stitching. Maybe the RS for the 2013 year would have some weird colour for the stiching.

I want Asphalt, so I think I will get the red interior. Still only going to do it if I can exchange badges

The interior looks so much better in these pics. I really hope they offer the other headlight option because that's what it's lacking in looks imo.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the length of the video and not the car. haha

Perfect for housing gauges and datalogger.

Video longer. Not the car. Read my sentence again "Great video too. Wish it [video clip] was only longer in length." We have known the length of the car for months.

I no longer care about it being fast, only that it is quick going sideways!!!!

no_name · 12-09-2011, 03:20 PM

Definitely the best video of the car in motion so far. That drift at the end gave me goose bumps.

I wish they would have gotten a better driver to represent Scion than Kenshiro Gushi. You see how far from the Apex he was? He was good back in 03 when when there weren't many pro level American drifters but he hasn't finished in the top 10 in like 6 years. Tyler Mcquarrie is a free agent and would have been the best option.

Oh their's Marketing involved with Ken Gushi being the person they chose. Lots and lots of reason why they would choose Ken over Tyler. Just one thing out of many he has strong tidings with Scion just to start. He's well known in Japan as well. I'm not even going to get into the target market and culture analysis of why they chose Ken. Honestly I like Ken hes a pretty chill guy.

Seeing this review and images of the interior there is not much one can complain about if this is the base model.

For the range of models ( BRZ/GT86 ) to have this as a base it only leaves
one box to tick. PRICE SON TELL US THE PRICE???????????????????????.

poormans_LFA · 12-09-2011, 04:19 PM

personally, i'd like to see Tanner Foust drift this thing. if anyone can do it the way it's suppose to be done, he's the man.

What does Ken being well known in Japan have anything to do with marketing Scion in the U.S.? He may be a Chill guy but other than the LBGP celebrity race, what has he won in the last 6 years? Tyler is a winner in drifting and in road racing.

Winning is what puts butts in seats.

Yeah not bad if this is just the base model, but if it's the only model then a lot of people will be upset a bit. Oh and the price will be key.

Scion don't completely cheapen the model. Give us a base model that we can add options to if we want. There are people who have money and want to pay to get what they want.
