we've already had an FT86-FRS thread since last month, in fact its still here on the front page from when I bumped it yesterday, going to merge these since we dont need two threads for this.
This.
ALL auto show cars nowadays are slammed and have huge wheels and brakes, its pretty much industry standard now even on cars where it looks absurd.
remember that NGV/Hybrid Camry concept from the L.A. auto show a couple years ago that was slammed on 20s? lol yeah Im sure thats exactly what people that buy hybrids aregoing to do to their cars
VS. the actual production hybrid camry LOL

Ugh, I really hate those tacky LED light strips on the front of cars now, whenever I see those on an audi it really ruins the clean look of their front end. I know all the ricers love that **** though (they love shiny things) go on ebay now and you will see tons of honda ricer headlights for sale with tacky light strips crammed in them. LED light strips is seriously going to be the new Altezzas for this decade

Can anybody tell anything about the motor by the sound, other than the obvious.

thats exactly what they are doing. Scion was already Toyotas big middle finger to the youth enthusiast market. We all wanted Supras and MR2s and the old Celicas back but they decided they only wanted to make boring Camry and Prius "driving appliances" from now on. So they created the Scion brand in a cynical attempt to dictate to the youth market that what we really wanted were boring sub-20K econoboxes packaged with a big marketing campaign. Didnt quite work out that way, most of the scions I see on the road today have middle-aged or older drivers, some young drivers but more or less the same cross section that buys any sub-20K econoboxes. They've really just turned into Toyotas version of Saturn, mediocre cars for people that really dont care about driving.

1) the car was 95 percent exact in geneva for production
2) the car has always been slated to come as a scion
MOSt important
SCION=Non 50 thousand dollar car.
If you are upset the car is a scion, but nothing at all with the car has changed besides the name, you are a dummy. If you think scion will ruin it before it comes out, thats another story.

I know it's almost the exact same thing. What I'm saying is that the FT-86 is supposed to be continuing on the AE-86, a classic, which is why I was hoping it would come as Toyota, not as Scion which is garbage. Also, I ain't saying I won't buy it because it's Scion, I'm saying if I were to buy it, I would just switch it to Toyota or even Subaru emblems as azer said.
