Now, meet the FR-S.  Launching in 2012 under the Scion brand, the 2013 FR-S (Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive, Sport) is a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru to build a lightweight, perfectly balanced, rear-wheel-drive sports car that harkens back to the days of the legendary AE86 "Hachi-Roku" Corolla.
Under 3,000 pounds, the 2013 FR-S will generate a neck-snapping 200 horsepower from a 2.0-liter, normally aspirated flat-four engine, and a 6-spd manual transmission will make this the "fun" that so many have been yearning for from Toyota.  And as a true rear-drive sports car, you won't have to deal with torque steer.  This kind of a combination makes driving enthusiasts salivate, and early test reports from magazines such as Motor Trend and Inside Line are already praising the pre-production models for their scalpel-like precision, six-second 0-60 acceleration and cat-like reflexes in the corners.

This will prove to be a "game changer" in the market place. Although the FR-S will have the true performance and engineering of some of the most sophisticated sports cars on the road, it will be available at Toyota / Scion of Braintree at a starting base price of around $25,000.  

We expect a significant waiting list on this car, but you can get to the front of the line by acting early.   Call our Braintree store at 781-848-9300 and with a deposit, you can assure that you will have one of the first as they start to arrive later in the spring.
