I should know better than to bring up rumors concerning the Supra, but at least this one sounds like it holds some water. Toyota and BMW have confirmed that they’re working together on a new sports car platform. BMW will use the layout for their next generation Z4 Coupe. Toyota, on the other hand, would presumably use it […] More »

In hindsight, this is probably something that we should’ve seen coming had we been paying any attention. Toyota has decided to swap out the TC for the FR-S in their annual pro/celebrity race. The interesting part isn’t so much that they swapped the cars out, but the cars themselves. Performance wise, they’ve equipped the FR-Ss with […] More »

I don’t think anyone is buying the FR-S with tons of road trips in mind, but hey, it happens. Road trips also offer the perfect backdrop scenario for a review. The FR-S isn’t really designed to be a touring car, but neither is the Lotus Elise or Genesis Coupe. What they do share is rear […] More »
