^ Or go back to working that street corner. You also have some time before the car is available to buy.

Agreed, why would they camo it at this point. Check out this crazy idea, let people see it and vote on the a website. Scion is for young people right?

ya Ill bet you need alot of downforce for all of that 200na hp

Those are Enkei made STI wheels to. Probably the 5x100 version fo the wheel that came on the Forester XT Sports editions. This could be a pic of the Subaru model because of that. Or Toyota just likes STI parts

theyve been running those suby 5X100 on them all the spy shots for toyota one for the last couple years, dont think we've seen the subaru version yet unless its going to be exactly like the toyota one just with different badges

Since UC Davis is delayed until at least 2013 for me I am seriously trying to get a plan in action to save up for the Suby one and then trade in the WRX.

Krinkov do you think it is likely they'd really have a higher horsepower one by only 1 manufacture. Do you think only subaru would get a hot model, or only toyota, or most likely they'd both have it?

That one with the body kit almost does look like the subie model, at first I thought it was the same as the non body kitted camo'ed spy shot....but the headlights seem to be diff.

Not sure if thats in reference to something I said earlier, but no I dont think the two cars will be different in any way at all except in body panels and badges. Think about it, why would Subaru develop an entirely new NA motor motor just for scion?

Ugh, that body kit is uglier than a war wound, as Clarkson would say. It looks like the crap honda guys would buy for their civics in the 90s with all the gills and sharp scallops. When I saw that it reminded me of that optional ricey body kit toyota had for their last celica like ten years ago, whenever i see one of those on the road now I think, "Damn, that look did NOT age well."

I'm referring to the fact it has never been disputed that there would be a higher horsepower model to come, this is also theoretically backed by varying reports of a sub 30k car and of a 20k car. There have been numerous reports of a likely higher hp model, but nothing concrete or confirmed. I was wondering if one was to come out which model you think would release it, toyota owns part of subaru so they probably have the upper hand in what gets decided. I was just curious if one was to arrive what you'd guess would be the outcome???

Also the only thing official said from scion is;
scion SCION
@
@iClayton92 Scion has not announced plans to release a FR-S Turbo. Stay tuned for information as it becomes available. ^SP
