I had wondered why if Toyota doesn't make the Celica anymore, why don't they at least make something like it?
All of the regular Toyota models I see on their website had no sports car at all. Then when I went to pick up the little clips for the brake pads at the Toyota Dealer I walked past one of these    Check out the different colors in the build your own at Scion.com http://www.scion.com/buildyourscion/config...l&year=2013 Hot Lava ! http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2013-s...st-drive-review http://www.cars.com/scion/fr-s/2013/snapshot/ Scion FR-S only about $25,000 - 200hp from a 2.0L "flat-four" that makes the center of gravity lower (Subaru motor I think?), 6 speed, and they say it comes stock with the suspension "neutral balanced" Sadly it doesn't look like they are making a turbo charged one, but 200hp from the stock motor isn't too shabby. of course I'll wait till its about 15 years old before I think about letting the Celica go and getting one

Scion brand was created to the sole purpose of not tainting toyota with anti tree-hugging cars

QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jan 17, 2014 - 4:36 PM)  Scion brand was created to the sole purpose of not tainting toyota with anti tree-hugging cars The Scion brand only exists in North America (and only in Canada since 2010). Everywhere else, the FRS is the Toyota GT-86. Heck, even in North America it's still partially badged as such (see the side badges which form both 86s and opposing pistons). Every other Scion model is sold outside of North America as a Toyota. Scion was created because Toyota decided it was easier to convince young people to look at a new brand -- similar to how in Japan car companies operate sub-brands which target certain demographics -- than to reconsider the established opinion of Toyota as an automotive appliance manufacturer. Poor sales of the Celica, MR2 and, to a lesser extent, the Echo in the US contributed to this decision. Note the Supraesque concept rolled out at the Detroit auto show is a Toyota FT-1.
