2013 Scion FR-S: Up Close
More 2012 Detroit Auto Show Coverage
Other bits on the inside help the Scion pull off a driver’s car feel. The show car I inspected had red stitching on the steering wheel, gear selector, hand brake and seats, which were bolstered tightly to my sides. The quality of stitching and materials look and feel good for its rumored price of around $25,000.
It’s been a long road to a production version of the FR-S with concept after concept after concept. For a select 86 people, that road may be shorter than others as Scion will give them the first crack at buying an FR-S at www.ScionFirst86.com, starting at noon EST Jan. 12 and running for 8 hours and 6 minutes.
