FT-86 may be a Scion?

[Big_Bird]

According to Jalopnik, the much rumored FT-86 just might be sold under the Scion moniker to help the failing sales. http://jalopnik.com/5660934/scion-fr...w-toyota-ft+86 Interesting!?

I considered putting that post here in the Scion News forum... but until they actually do something with this car, I'm considering it vaporware and putting it in all other vehicles.

^not far off at all! Talked with our regional & some other higher-ups and they confirmed for the 2012 model year that the "FR-S" will be released as a limited run (like 5k or 1-2 per dealer) in a FR layout with a <200HP NA boxer design motor starting around 25K. Here's an article about the suspicions as well:

at this point I think the excitement has waned.....if it was at 20K I would be in one of these at 25K if it was AWD I would be in one imediately
