Scion FR-S Concept First Official Pics/Videos + NYIAS Pics and Press Conference

Yeah they have to be really careful with the pricing with this, if it goes into Z territory that means that the features have to be bumped up to compete.

Otherwise i think they can get away with this being comparable to an Si in terms of electronic features, but throw in leather seats instead.

I love leather seats! And I'm in hot Arizona too! I don't get why people bitch about them so much.

Ill be honest....if the interior doesnt have leather seats and a nice sound system with a subwoofer that might just break this for me. If i sound stuck up, sorry i dont mean to, but i need my leather and sound system without having to go aftermarket for all that. Otherwise, bluetooth, nav, usb/mp3 support should all be standard this day and age. I also see a backup camera as being standard possibly considering they will become mandatory on all cars in a year or 2 in the US


I feel like it says "ADVANCED INTAKE SYSTEM" for some reason on the rim haha, oh for those wheel they're bolted cuz this is a show car, most people aren't going to notice how impractical the wheels are to drive in they're there for "HOLY CRAP THATS SIIIIIICKKKKKKKKKK" Jizz. In. My Pants. factor.

Other than being to hot in Summer and too cold in winter, they're too slippery and they look like total crap after a few years.

heated seats in winter.
leather seats dont make the car smell weird and make me feel sick or something even if they're hot. Get tints, itll help, open da windows and blast the AC.
but to eaach his own, you have a point about some leather seats looking real shitty after a couple years though

My '03 leather seats still look good. You just have to care for them better and condition them. Most people don't.

The temperature thing doesn't bother me. I've liked in some of the cold UT weather and the hot AZ summers with my leather interior.

it should have seats like the Evo X MR...best seats ive ever sat in

Yeah I agree with this. Most worried about the slippery. My current car is leather and if someone isn't buckled in the back and I take a sharp turn they end up on the other side of the car, no problem. Even I slip around in my seat with the belt on.

My '03 cloth seats are immaculate.

You both like leather seats, that's great. I'm happy for you.
I happen to not like leather seats. I'm happy for me as well.

I have no problem with heated power leather seats, or sun roofs, or 10 speaker stereo systems w/subwoofer, or bluetooth capable touch screen dvd gps systems. I'd just much prefer if none of those things come standard (read: required). I'm a simple kind of guy, and I prefer simple things. Just a personal preference.

300 is way too much for this car...I'd be happy with 250HP

I think it says "ADVANCED INWHEEL BRAKE SYSTEM". Why would it say INTAKE when it's in the wheel? lmao

Did someone say too much hp?

Again, it's only a concept, but this bugs me because it means they are "cutting corners" or basically doing sneaky things like this which will of course never make it into production, but they do them anyway just to make the concept LOOK better without worrying about the lug nuts appearance.

I think a concept car should be disigned with production in mind. Otherwise you aren't on a fair playing ground and you get people excited for spiffy looking wheels that aren't going to look the same >:/

Okay, I may have taken things too far out of context, but I'm just saying... Seriously?

A little over analytical there. And of course everyone noticed the motorcycle style brakes and the rotors attached to the wheels....He said it during the video.

I would have loved for the single lug to make it to production though, but that is only found on race cars and exotics.

Does that mean it is just a new take on something like this?
