2013 Scion FR-S Performance Parts Include New Five-Axis Body Kit

The 2013 Scion TC... I mean FR-S gets a new body kit to enhance performance.

The tC is Corolla-based, FWD, and Toyota-engined. The FR-S gets its own RWD platform and a Subaru engine (albeit with Toyota's direct fuel injection tech). They are completely different cars. Seriously, if I were you, I would use Subaru's involvement in the FR-S/BRZ project as an excuse to admit that this Toyota is brilliant. You can drop your facade of hate this once. Everyone's been wanting you to for years.

“The tC is Corolla-based, FWD, and Toyota-engined. The FR-S gets its own RWD platform and a Subaru engine (albeit with Toyota's direct fuel injection tech). They are completely different cars.”

- Does Scion still make the tC? Why can’t a FWD car be replaced with a RWD car? Scion’s small sporty car used to be the tC. It’s now the FR-S. Sorry buddy, but the FR-S is the replacement for the tC. The newer car doesn’t have to follow the old car verbatim in order for it to be considered a replacement. You really need to get a clue.


“Seriously, if I were you, I would use Subaru's involvement in the FR-S/BRZ project as an excuse to admit that this Toyota is brilliant.”

- Brilliant? Lol! Both Subaru and Toyota watered down the FR-S. The FR-S is slower than the Celica GT from 2000 LOL!. And that’s what you call “Brilliant”? I guess you call anything with a Toyota badge on it “Brilliant”.


“You can drop your facade of hate this once. Everyone's been wanting you to for years.”

- When they start building cars that aren’t worth hating, then I won’t hate on them. But when they release appliance after appliance, and then some tepid, slow “sports” car that can’t even beat out its own run-of-the-mill family sedan. I’m sorry but I’m going to call them out. Its not my fault that you are a fan of such a lame brand.

The FR-S doesn't replace the tC. They don't compete with each other because while the FR-S is sporty, entertaining and less practical, the tC is larger, cheaper, not actually sporty at all, and capable of seating five comfortably.

And the Celica, faster? I find that hard to believe. Whereas it had 180hp and 133 lb-ft in its quicker GT-S configuration, the FR-S has 200 hp and 155 lb-ft. (I looked on several sites but none had conclusive 0-60 times for the FR-S, although the slowest estimates were at 6.2 seconds, which beats the GT-S's 6.6.)

And I'm not a Toyota fan. I am an FR-S fan. The rest of Scion's lineup is boring rubbish, as is Toyota's and most of Lexus's. Just clearing that up for you.

"FTPS, responding to trolls is like bringing sand to the beach."

- Can you be anymore corny. LOL!!

"(I looked on several sites but none had conclusive 0-60 times for the FR-S, although the slowest estimates were at 6.2 seconds, which beats the GT-S's 6.6.)"

- Didn't motortrend, edmunds or someone clock the 0-60 time at 7.3 seconds? Why is it that the only time a Toyota has competitive numbers is before it’s actually tested?

Concrete source? Be careful what you ask for.

Looks like your the one who should be laughed at. LOL!!!! And I'm not saying LOL to be funny. No one uses LOL to be funny. You need to get out more. Now what?

Huh... okay, the Celica GT-S had a faster 0-60 time... but that doesn't mean it's also less entertaining. The thing was FWD! And plus, the BRZ's weak acceleration is partially due to its low-grip Prius tires, which are there to allow drifts even at legal speeds. Which is awesome. If you wanted to drag a BRZ, you'd change the tires and see a second disappear off its 0-60 time.
