On Sunday December 2nd, 2012, The Philadelphia Inquirer did a piece on the 2013 Scion FRS. Here is an excerpt and the full story: The new-for-2013 FR-S is the product of a Toyota/Subaru joint venture. Its Subaru counterpart, the BR-Z (are you growing weary of these cattle brands yet?) is largely identical mechanically and aesthetically, although there is some styling differentiation up front. Despite its reasonable price (it starts at $24,200 with the manual gearbox and $25,300 with the automatic), the FR-S is a true sporting machine, a real funster. It’s blessed with excellent driving dynamics, thanks in part to its suspension design and the fore-to-aft weight balance afforded by its rear-drive layout. As a consequence, the FR-S proved a lot of fun to throw around on a back road. Click here for the full story We want to ask you, what are your thoughts of the new 2013 Scion FRS?
