I have yet to see ANY signs of the Subaru version of this on their website. Seems kinda odd.

 

They haven't released but Subaru wants to keep the FR setup instead of AWD and hopefully tossing a turbo in the mix. Toyota was also talking about offering a turbo version as well... Only time will tell.

 

The recent articles I've read have said the Subie will have AWD.
The Subie might have the first turbo version, but I bet if safe to say that Scion will be first to market overall.

 

Not a fan of Scion.....or Toyota for that matter. They need to bring the Supra back and maybe I'll show a little interest.

 

^^^ the Supra is fat, and dated, and takes alot of money to go as fast as some newer models, let it die...

If the most recent pics translate to production I will definitely be buying one so much to like about the lines of this car...

If I had to guess on what may not make it to the production model I would say the headlights would keep their footprint but be a more traditional xenon/high beam housing and I don't think the reverse duct in front of the hood, as well as the bump out detail on the rear window and the mirrors will gain some weight, those would be the features that would be cut on the production floor

What will be interesting will be the price point, Scions are usually bargain bin cars, I could see this base modeling at $30K

 

Good god, that is sexy.

 

Going have to disagree with you... there are some Supras running around that are faster than just about anything on the planet. To turn up the boost on a 2JZ-GTE and not have crack open the block means getting major power out of them will not be as expensive as many cars that require forging all the internals.

The Supra Mark IV was a game changer, and I hope Toyota is successful with the FR-S in there target market. Reintroducting an affordable sports car could also lead to more Supra-esque cars that don't cost $400K (LFA).

 

I just have a really bad feeling that concept is setting us up for a HUGE disappointment.

 

The car is beautiful , I hope alot of the concept design cues makes it into the production based vehicle. This concept and the first concept i really like , the second one not so much, the second one looks like a stretched Tc IMO.

 

That's hawt. I hope it's a success!

 

It's getting better and better looking

 

yup, all it needs are some window wipers, door handles, practical size wheels and brakes and of course we all know the mirrors are going to get fatter.

 

That would be wicked in white.

Bring the RX-* before I do something foolish .

Paul.

 

Superb looking car, thus far. Though for me to even consider this car, I'd have to be impressed with the actual build quality, and most importantly... The test drive.

As picky as I am, my RX-8 did it for me... So my expectations are slightly high.

 

...and an affordable price for us middle class

 

Yeah, especially for a bunch of guys that drive Mazdas.

Sorry, but I don't really care whose badge is on it. If I like the car, it meets my needs and the price is right, I really don't care if the badge says it was made by the Hitler-Manson-Dahlmer Car Company.

 

I'd totally rock one of those!

 

That is the funniest thing I have read in a while!

 

too bad it will not look like that when its out, and everything rolls out of Scion's production line will have much cheaper parts compare to Toyota line.

so no thx

 

Man, that would be an interesting company to work for ... I would also guess a high employee turn-over rate

 

Thanks, I'll be here all week. Please remember to tip your wait staff!!

I think this Scion looks fantastic, and pretty similar to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

 

Hey Steeler, check out thread #42.

 

Figured I'd add the comment that I understand why people wouldn't want to associate with the brand. I've recently discovered that there's a scion community called "scikotics" and I can't help but shake my head when I see that on some of the scions around here. That's one of those things that tries to be cool but fails because it's trying too hard. I don't really have any first hand experience, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy the general scion community.

Even with that, I'd still be willing to buy a scion if it was actually a good enough car. I'd still probably avoid the community unless necessary...

 

Oops, you beat me to it! I thought this type of superiority complex only happened on the BMW forums.

 

No harm done, and no, it happens here quite a bit. I'm surprised you haven't noticed by now.
