Let’s not beat around the bush: the Scion iQ is weird. Don’t take that as a bad thing; it isn’t. Scion’s pudgy micro car is surprisingly comfortable, handles like a fwd go-kart and looks pretty good on some aftermarket 16 wheels. The reason it’s weird is in part because you’d have to consider buying 16″ rims […] 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.

Scion may not build one with a turbo (yet), but this is one of the first reviews that I’ve seen of a turbo charged FR-S anywhere. The car is this case is a track oriented thing that’s still in development, but it’s still pretty important. The thing is, the FR-S is slow. Really, the only […] More »

Normally I’m not a huge fan of bagged cars, but every now and then one comes along that is particularly striking. Dat stance. The car is a project from Airtekk air suspension. Overall, I think it looks pretty good. The only thing that I don’t care for is the color of the wheels. His rims […] More »
