Welcome to Scion FR-S First Drive Tour

WELCOME TO SCION FR-S FIRST DRIVE TOUR
The 2013 Scion FR-S Ride and Drive Experience
The wait is almost over. One of the most anticipated automotive events of the year - the launch of the 2013 Scion FR-S, is here. You can see for yourself what the excitement is about, by getting behind the wheel of the FR-S during the Scion FR-S First Drive Tour - a series of exclusive ride and drive events taking place at 16 cities around the country.
The FR-S First Drive tour is stopping by your area at M&T Bank Stadium, in Baltimore, MD on May 5, 2012. Register now for one of a limited number of spots and you will be among the first people in the country to experience the Scion FR-S first hand.
At each FR-S First Drive event, participants will be able to see up close the car that is "bringing the sport back to the car". Learn more about the FR-S and sample the balanced performance characteristics unique to a front mounted, flat boxer-powered rear wheel drive sports coupe - designed for enthusiasts by enthusiasts. Experience the precision-engineered handling and driving fun expected of the successor to the legendary "Hachi-roku".
Like every model Scion offers, the FR-S is also about personalization. Customize the FR-S to fit your style from the many customization possibilities directly from Scion, or through our Scion OPTOMIZE aftermarket program partners.
You can also expect standout styling, performance, value, fuel efficiency, driving dynamics, and safety features from all Scion models. And as a marque of Toyota, all Scion vehicles are built with world-class Toyota quality and reliability.
Check it out for yourself, and tell your friends. Find more info and register* for the event at frsbaltimore.eventbrite.com - and you'll be one of the first to get behind the wheel of the 2013 Scion FR-S.

Signed up to drive at 4pm. Wondering if they will have food or snacks? Hope this will be almost as fun as my AMG Benz drive event I went to 3 years ago. Lets just say Merc knows how to throw an event.

Decent event. Did the 9am drive. Wouldn't let us turn on sport mode and turn off traction control 
boo! Also, the car was an auto. So, limp mode fully engaged. Traction control was really really good at stealing power from me in the corners. Was pretty irritating. Wish I could have really thrashed it. That said, the car was still a lot of fun in the corners. It has great stability. What it lacks in power it makes up for there. The aftermarket will surely provide owners with the option to purchase the desired power anyway. However, with a $25k starting price point, I'm not sure it's going to be a huge seller. If you are a single guy, who has no kids, and desires a daily driver that can be tracked, you may have a car here. If you're anyone else and still want a trackable fun car, why not spend the extra $1k and buy a Genesis Coupe?
One of the Toyota dealer guys there was saying the next RS tC will be an updated version of the gen 1 tC 5-axis with the center exhaust. So that's something to look forward to.
