So what does the FR-S have in common with a GTI and an old M3? If you believe the guys at MotorTrend… quite a lot actually. You see, all three of these cars fall under the category of what they call “drivers cars”. They’re not necessarily fast, but you can bet your ass they’re […] More »

The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach wrapped up last weekend, and along with it, the Scion Celebrity race. They have the event every year. 2013 was a little bit different as this was the first year with the FR-S. As you might expect, the racing was far more interesting than it was in years […] More »
