The Scion FR-S sports car is one of the most distinctive examples of twenty-first century Toyota vehicles. Its assertive styling, heightened responsiveness, and luxury appeal really set it apart from other sports cars and even other Scion vehicles.

The FR-S was first introduced to the general market in 2012. This vehicle is currently for sale only in the United States and Canada; despite its global popularity, it remains an exclusive offering. Though other Toyota vehicles are known for being available in a range of trim levels, the yearly FR-S models have no trim levels. However, in keeping with Scion’s reputation as a user-oriented auto marque, the FR-S does have a number of options that customers can add to their vehicles for a most customized product. Scion’s own BeSpoke audio system is featured in the FR-S; this vehicle is ideal for audiophiles with an eye for sports cars.

Scion’s line of vehicles is known for being produced in limited global quantities. Each model year sees limited production in order to maintain the novelty and distinction of the designs. Additionally, each vehicle model is produced in a handful of designer colors to distinguish one year’s release from the others. For example, the 2013 Scion FR-S is available in seven colors: Raven, Asphalt, Ultramarine, Firestorm, Hot Lava, Argento, and Whiteout. Those modern color choices will catch the eye of shoppers and passers-by. This bold colors make excellent canvases for custom body work, too.

The vehicles released in recognition of Scion’s tenth anniversary as an auto marque were all given brilliant silver coloring called Silver Ignition. The FR-S released as part of this tenth series had only 2,500 units. A push-button start, automatic climate control, and other high-end features helped further distinguish this FR-S from other model years.

In order to prevent competitive price inflation, Toyota implemented the Pure Price Guarantee. This prevents dealers from increasing their prices in response to customer demand for hottest new vehicles. Even though a dealership might only receive a few new Scions each year, the Pure Price posted on the dealer’s website will be the price you pay. Keep in mind that the MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) that appears on websites that are not specific to a dealership may be somewhat different than the Pure Price. This is because the Pure Price reflects the value of any optional extra features that might be present on individual vehicles.

Though Scion’s marque was created to showcase cars that are more experimental in terms of design and luxury, every Scion vehicle is backed up by Toyota’s strong reputation. Many Toyota vehicles have exceptional resale value and score consistently high points on total cost of ownership assessments. Regardless of whether you purchase a new FR-S or a passenger car from Toyota’s existing lineup, you can feel confident that you are purchasing a car that will perform reliably for many years. When it comes time to purchase a new vehicle, your old vehicle can be resold with a solid return for you. Depending on the age of your old vehicle, you may be able to trade it in towards a new vehicle from the Toyota family of cars. You can ask a dealer for more information about trade-in values.
