Topic: Scion updates FR-S sports car

It has the sweetest aspro Subaru engine, by far. 

I think so too.  And the best sounding Subaru engine...by far.

I wonder if Toyota had any hand in it at all?  'Cause it feels very un-Subaru-like.  It does use a DI system similar to the Toyota one - so who knows.  The first time I got into the throttle I kinda felt "this would be more like a Porsche entry level H4 - smooth, rev-happy and making mechanical noise without sounding like marbles in a washing machine."

I'm sure they did.  I can't imagine Toyota just handing out the D4S injection system and saying "make it work".

I thought many were sold over MRSP when it first came out when the waitlist was long...I guess the hype died very quickly after that...

Right along with those PRIUS tires.

The drift and weekend trackday heroes love that because there is an almost inexhaustible supply of cheap/free tires available

I tested the Scion version last summer and really, really liked it....I didn't like it as a daily commuter, but loved every minute I spent with it off of the gridlocked 401.
