Scion FR-S (FT86) - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

toyota does that as well with the truck motors. Its still sorta crappy. Most techs use an empty one quart oil bottle under the "cup" which has a spigot to let the oil flow into the container.

a half full quart bottle in the cooling fan makes an interesting noise/mess when you forget you left it under the spout! lol

off topic, but I can see that now. Sounds like I need a picture.

Hmm... didn't know there was going to be a scion version as well.

So whats the difference between the Yota, Scion and Subi versions ? I really don't care about trim and options, just want the engine and driveline at the lowest possible price point.

USA is only getting the Scion FRS and the Subaru BRZ. The Scion will the the lower cost more basic of the two.

Japan gets Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ

Europe gets Toyota GT-86 and Subaru BRZ

I hate that it's badged as a Scion, but not enough to not buy one. Plastic badges can always be removed

Because they choose to make it different. Scion is choosing to make the handling very sporty, from what the journalists have said it is almost set to permanent oversteer.

Subaru choose to set the steering to normal passenger sedan understeer safe. Probably for the same reason most sedans drive like pigs.

It seems like the Scion is going to be as cheap as possible, they seem to be removing all possible costs vs the Subie which seems to have everything. At least according to early reports.

And to get that style/package, you need to purchase a BRZ.
