I bought this car new in early 2007 after we fell in love with the Torched Penny paint job and were amazed by the interior room. This has been my daily driver for the last 7 years and it only has 83,xxx miles on it now. All of the service work has been done at Rice Toyota and I just put a brand new set of tires on it in the last year. Scion's only have ONE option, they come fully loaded, and that is the automatic transmission which is really nice! The dealer add-ons included the XM radio and cruise control. What makes this car unique is two things, the first is that it is a special edition, Scion puts these out every year or two with a special paint job, ground effects package, spoiler, special trim and a NUMBERED plate showing that this car is #1469 of 2500 made. The special package was approx. $2000 from what I remember and appear to be pretty popular when you google it. Scion has a unique page showing every Release Series they have offered. The second unique feature of THIS car is that fact that we really wanted a sunroof and the dealer had one installed for us. I guess this could be called a 'moon roof' which is to say it tilts up and down AND slides back into the roof as well. There is also a sliding cover for when it is closed and you want to keep the sunshine out. That was about $1,500 add on to the price of the car. They were both worth the expense, the car really is eye catching, the paint job is iridescent (changes color depending on the angle you are looking at it) and there is only one other one like it in the Triad area that I have seen over the last 7 years!! The engine is a very peppy 1.5L and my best mpg was in the mid to low 30s when traveling all highway from here to the beach. During all of this snow stuff this year, except for when the snow was really high (big snow berms to worry about) the front wheel drive took me to/from work every day without any issues. It DOES have traction control, which is a great safety feature and does kick in if the car senses it is sliding, etc. The interior is a dark charcoal in color, there is an extra mat that covers the trunk area and the seats are all in good condition, no tears or such. Everything works great on the car, no issues, a/c blows nice and cold, I actually have started the 2 month xm radio trial in case folks wanted to hear that when you test drive the car. So why am I getting rid of it? The answer is that my wife and I are really wanting a Jeep Wrangler, I have owned several over the years and this is the year that I get another one for the summer. If you are interested in a great car, LOTS of interior room, 30 mpg daily driver with LOW miles and unique features, this is the car for you. Shoot me an email, text or call and we can get together. My price is pretty firm at this point, I am not in a big hurry to sell and I know that with the low miles, special edition PLUS sunroof, this car is listing for $12k retail or more! |

Ryan Tuerck's Ferrari-powered Scion drifts, crashes, fixes, and drifts again
Sat, Sep 23 2017We were pretty astonished when Ryan Tuerck and Gumout shoved a Ferrari 458 V8 into a Scion FR-S. And as awesome as that fact alone may be, it's even more amazing that it's a fully functional drifter, not just a show car. Tuerck recently took it out to Portland, Ore. to do some sweet drifting on a mountain road. Unfortunately for him and the car, he did something substantially less sweet right off the bat. As you'll see in the video, in just the second corner of the course, Tuerck drives the front corner of the GT4586 right into the dirt cliff on the side of the road. For a moment, it looks like things are all right, but the car starts pulling to the right and he stops the car for repairs. After fixing bits including a thoroughly bent tie-rod, the GT4586 is good as new. We're glad the car wasn't down for long, because the drifting show following the repairs was fantastic. In the video, Tuerck throws the Scion into high-speed, super smoky drifts. And all of it happens to the tune of a shrieking Ferrari V8. It's well worth a few minutes of your time to watch.

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S
Tue, 05 Mar 2013There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.
Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters
Sat, Mar 21 2015General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.
