Scion gets the FT-86 might be called Scion FR-S.
 

you what funny? I don't recall any...ANY...engine pics from ANY FT-86 pictures or coverage I have seen. Who is to say the 2.5l engine really is a Subaru EJ25? could it be the new 2.5L from the tC? that engine in the FT would be good....thoughts?

I dunno but for a 25K Scion it better perform.

I agree with post on that site. for $25K it best be boosted. or have lots of luxury over other scion brands. If it is just a $25K with 2.5 that puts out only 175ish hp then why. I can spend $25K and let my wife get her Nissan Juke (1.6L stock turbo puts 188hp), or I can get me a Mazdaspeed 3 for about $26K (2.3L with stock turbo does 263hp), or I could get me a VW GTi for about $26K (2.0L wuth stick turbo 200hp)

I thought I'd heard something about AWD with this vehicle. Any word on this?

Rumors have been everything, FWD AWD RWD. But I personally rather have Boost over AWD if I had to choose. But the Juke will be boosted and AWD as option but you have to go with Auto tranny. And from what I understand it is variable valving tranny which is cool but it's not a hybrid tranny (auto with manual abilities :()

oh and being Scion probably FWD

hard to believe if it's a Scion. I keep thinking FrontSide-Rear when I see the FR-S

yea.. this is why my friend is a tad leary about the Juke.. he wants a manual.. but definitely awd as he does heavy traveling for his job and it's in Western PA

Yeah my wife wants the Juke adn we live in Florida so AWD is not a necessity and she wants Manual over AWD. But if/when we get one the xD will become my sole Daily Driver :)

want a manual and AWD? buy a Suzuki SX4. Buy a Suzuki Kizashi

lol he doesn't want a suzuki.. and he doesn't want the auto tranny coming in the Juke.. which is his biggest issue. I'll stick with me D

Resolve.. that's awesome

new Jetta, they start out about the same price as an xD. Mitsu RV-R or Outlander Sport is coming too

Its about time Toyota or Scion get a rwd car. Its been so long.
