Bouncing is messy. Slicing is clean.

^Agreed but I think the regulators are more interested in the pedestrians living through the accident than how clean it is.

QUOTE (KAOS @ Apr 27, 2011 - 7:09 PM) QUOTE (malpaso @ Apr 27, 2011 - 3:10 AM) Wow - I just fapped all over that rear diffuser...  Upset that its not "Toyota" - but maybe now it'll be a little more affordable? That is the question... I do not know how "expensive brand" Scion in US is. I can only share with experience here in Europe: Toyota sell in Japan SUV called "Harrier". Exactly the same car is sold in Europe as Lexus but with name "RX". Only reason is Lexus is "luxury brand" and is acceptable to have higher price on it. I do not know how is that with Scion. Scion is not for sale in Europe at all so can not compare. However i bet FT-86 will be for sale in Europe as Lexus (Lexus F or Lexus FT) to squeeze more money from buyers . So bye bye Celica...

Sound clip...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oDT3dNDo2c...player_embedded Interesting quote: QUOTE The sound should be the same or very similar for all 3 Scion FR-S / FT-86 cars since they all feature the same Boxer engine and exhaust setup. Could this mean that there will be a Toyota FT-86, Scion FR-S, and Subaru... something or other? This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Apr 28, 2011 - 4:19 PM -------------------- |

It sounds really nice, but still a bit whiny since it's a stock setup.

Unless there's a fast version, it won't affect me anyway. -------------------- |

japanese cars are priced similar in EU and USA, the difference is the interior quality, the Scion tC uses the cheapest plastic materials for the interior, where our cars have a more quality feel interior-wise.
I know the FT86 / FR-S will have that same cheap interior in order to compete with Huinday Genesis and possiblly the Nissan 370Z ( engine output pending ) and both of those cars have a mid to low grade interior so FR_S will get just that aswell, and I dont care, put a decent engine and I'm sold --------------------  |
