We know that's not going to happen. It should be somewhat below the FR-S.<br />It'll probably be 20G's for us. Not sure I like the idea of paying far more than it's worth in Japan.Peccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947511408460756082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-12999391197054141122015-10-13T08:32:49.108-07:002015-10-13T08:32:49.108-07:00By the way, isn't Scion supposed to be targete...By the way, isn't Scion supposed to be targeted to the youngsters? If so, shouldn't their cars be affordable? What's the point of Scion, if their cars are not affordable? Wasn't that the purpose from the get go? They started off great with the first generation Scion xB & xA, but strayed off after.<br /><br />A lot of their cars are definitely not affordable for the young general public. Most younger people definitely can't afford the FR-S & a lot other Scion vehicles, since the sticker price is kind of hefty. Scion doesn't appeal much to me 'cause I'd rather have the Toyota badge on my car if I'm going to spend a good chunk of money (i.e.: Scion FR-S).Anime Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686569373961466583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-16733925460286241942015-10-13T08:17:06.192-07:002015-10-13T08:17:06.192-07:00Awe yeah!

(^o^) <3 The 6-speed manual & independent suspension is already providing excellence & win. If it had a real mechanical slip (i.e.: Torsen or Quife) like my Miata, this would be my dream come true!<br /><br />Bring it to the USA! If they retuned the 1.5 liter 4 banger & got about +-130 horses like you stated & kept it at $20K for the base model & up to $24k for the fully loaded model, I can guarantee that a good chunk of NA Miata & maybe even NB Miata owners would get one. I know I would. I'm not even talking about the possible Fiesta ST, Miata ND, & Mini Cooper buyers either 'cause Toyota will definitely get a share of those people as well.Anime Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686569373961466583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-90779062560958386242015-10-12T19:38:26.898-07:002015-10-12T19:38:26.898-07:00Beautiful!

As long as they keep it as an inexpensive sports car it will be a hit much like the original Datsun 240Z in 1971 and Mazda Miata in 1990Socarboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324137141836763774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-65924046139954084552015-10-09T00:44:41.553-07:002015-10-09T00:44:41.553-07:00Love this.
