Default FR-S Concept
Looks like Scion has done their homework with this super sleek roadster debuting at the New York International Auto Show.

If this is any indication of what's in store from our beloved Scion, we are all going to line up and trade in our xD's. Well, maybe some of us!

This 2.0 liter front engined, rear wheel drive, beauty is sure to be a grand slam if they release it.

Scion FR-S Concept
If next year's production version is anywhere near as stunning as the FR-S concept, Scion won't be able to build these sports coupes fast enough. The FR-S (short for Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive Sport) is a modern take on Toyota's beloved AE86 Corolla, with a compact 2.0-liter boxer engine that sits back and low, which balances the car's front-to-rear weight ratio, and keeps the center of gravity low. We can live without the razor-sharp spikes jutting from the rear fenders, but if Scion scales down the oversize 8.5 and10-inch-wide tires to less eccentric proportions, that might be a tragedy.
