Toyota's GT86 spin-offs for the United States market have hit a bit of a slump recently. Owners aren't the happiest bunch out there.

Hype or no hype, everybody seems to be in love with the new Toyobaru coupe. Regardless of variant, the Subaru, Toyota or Scion sports car is a great car. Scion is the first to announce the brand new model. It's not really their FR-S version of the coupe we're talking about but a new one. Really, we are. It's an...

Each of these companies have told us what they plan to do with their future lineup and the news are good and bad at the same time. Scion fans are disappointed, Subaru ones...
Toyota-Subaru-Scion's new sports car is the highlight of fun, thrills and schoolgirl giggles from automotive reviewers all together. This is what's been going on so far and it's getting rather faded.

Scion actually sent the FR-S, albeit with some Gazoo Racing updates to this particular event so that they...
The Toyota FT-86 & siblings unveiling just took a turn for the interesting and, oddly enough, it's happened because of a decision that isn't an original idea. Much like Toyota did with the initial unveiling of the Lexus LFA, they will be running the Scion FR-S this weekend's German VLN race at the Nürburgring. Just as before, the Scion FR-S...
