Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 Coming This Fall
Scion is readying an even hotter version of its FR-S and it’ll be arriving this fall.
Following in the footsteps of other Scion models, the FR-S will get its Release Series 1.0 model later this year and with it will be a unique Yuzu-colored exterior (as in, bright yellow) complemented with HID headlights and LED Daytime Running Lights. On the inside, the FR-S will benefit from dual-zone automatic climate control, a Smart key with Push Button Start and TRD shifter-plate with a sequentially-numbered TRD badge.

In addition, the interior will gain a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob. Like other RS vehicles in Scion’s lineup, the FR-S RS 1.0 will be limited to just 1,500 units.
Expect more info including pricing and availability later this year.

I've given up on this car and this Fall when I'm ready to buy I'm going to get something else. Really frustrating because this car, in my opinion, really only needs a little more power/torque - the rumored 2.5 litre would have been perfect.
It needs to be recalled FT-86 under the Toyota banner for the US!
