2014 Scion FR-S Convertible rendering
found this on CarandDriver.com
it is confirmed. http://www.caranddriver.com/news/201...-rendered-news  doesn't look too bad, but i shudder to think of what it could do to the weight balance

Not too bad looking. I would have liked a power hardtop, but hey they are cutting costs.

Never really been a fan of convertibles unless it's a targa. No thanks!

I'm guessing that's the reason the car is a coupe and not a hatch back. It's easier for the design team to make the changes necessary to make a convertible.
Also, it will keep the weight of the car down if they make the top manual and not automatic. |

we all kinda guessed it. But still no confirmed year... "likely" a 2014. I'm leaning towards maybe a 2015 model.
I know a few girls who would love this since they already love my BRZ. |

Just wait until these things start getting aggressive stance and wheels/tires + roll cages. Will look badass. Sorry S2000!

Hate to say it, but another source (which I sadly don't have time to search for) says that this won't be brought to North America.
And isn't this a repost? |

Personally, I don't like convertibles. The only way I could even convince myself to get a convertible is if it's a hard top. I just don't like the shape of a car missing a roof, or the appearance of the convertible top itself.

Am I the only one bothered that they took the stock wheels and blew them up? They look like 19s. The photoshop needed to stop after chopping the roof for a more realistic view of what the car would actually look like.
