Scion now has a sexy $30,000 sporty vehicle in the Scion FR-S concept car to help rebuild the Scion momentum of the early 2000s, back when the brand was quirky, cool, and desirable. The FR-S is one of the top cars of the 2011 New York International Auto Show. FR-S stands for Front engine, Rear drive, Sport. To lower the center of gravity, Scion and parent Toyota turned to Subaru for a boxer engine, meaning a horizontal layout with four opposed cylinders – as on the Porsche 911, VW Beetle, or Subarus. Think of the FR-S in the same class as the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
