Scion

With the Scion brand going away, the number is up for the FR-S badge. With the former Scion sports coupe moving under the Toyota brand for 2017, the Japanese automaker bestowed a new name: “86,” the translation of the Japanese “hachi roku.”

After a long string of lukewarm years, Toyota has decided to discontinue the entire Scion brand, and fold its remaining vehicles back into the Toyota brand. The cars were originally aimed at younger buyers wanting style on a budget.

Unless you are into snowboarding, you might not recognize the name 686. They make clothing for snowboarders, and have now teamed up with Scion to help send the boxy xB off with a bang. The car is called the Scion xB 686 Parklan Edition.

I love spy shots of cars that haven’t gone official yet. I like them better when they are not wearing camo and you can see what they look like. That certainly isn’t the case with this new Toyota/Scion that was recently spied in testing.

For the first time that I can remember, Scion is releasing two new car models at the same time. While the Scion iA compact sedan is targeted at urban daily drivers, the iM is made young adventurers who like to get out and hit the road.

This video is short, but it’s sweet. What we’ve got here is some awesome POV footage captured from the side door of Ken Gushi’s GReddy Racing Scion FR-S as he does a practice run alongside Tyler McQuarrie at Formula Drift Long Beach 2014.

Toyota has announced the arrival of a new limited-edition Scion tC at U.S. dealerships. The Scion tC Release Series 9.0 was designed in partnership with Jeremy Lookofsky of Cartel Customs in a eye-catching two-tone finish, reminiscent of the one found on the Lexus RC F we test drove earlier this year.

I’d wager that most of us have seen Ken Block tearing up the streets in the awesome Gymkhana video series. Of course, Block isn’t the only driver burning rubber for our entertainment. A Formula Drift driver named Fredric Aasbo put his Papadakis Racing Scion tC through some serious drifting on the streets of LA in a video called DreamRideLA.

Christian Coujin wowed a lot of visitors at last years 2013 SEMA show when he unveiled this brilliant green Scion FR-S. The car is fitted with a GReddy Rocket Bunny aero kit and was painted in this incredible Porsche GT3 green by Phantasy Kolors in Washington.

As they’ve done in past years, Scion invited some of the country’s top tuners to build an awesome Scion FR-S to show and compete at SEMA 2014. This year, the teams who competed were Speedhunters, GT Channel, and Super Street.

It seems as if Scion is looking to make a big impact at the 2014 SEMA Show, and they’re sure to be noticed with this incredible Sound Machine Scion tC designed by the metal band, Slayer.

The annual SEMA show in Las Vegas brings all sorts of unique customized rides to the forefront, and so far this is my favorite reveal for the 2014 show. This awesome Scion xB mod has transformed the little cereal box on wheels into an awesome 1970s window van.

Scion turned up at SEMA 2014 with a car that no one expected: a Scion FR-S Targa, complete with a removable top and louvered rear window. The custom version of the Scion FR-S was built by Jeremy Lookofsky of Cartel Customs and I think the result is terrific.

It’s been a while since we saw a new car from the guys at Scion, so my curiosity has been piqued by the announcement that they’ll be revealing a new concept vehicle during the 2014 L.A.

Our regular readers will already know that we’re big fans of the Scion FR-S and we think it’s perfectly situated at a sweet spot between performance and price. If you’ve been thinking of purchasing a new FR-S, you might want to consider the limited edition FR-S Series 1.0 “Release Edition.”
