Well, this is the replacement for my Prius. Up to now I only have these pictures, been too busy enjoying it to take any more up to now. I'll get some more and write a bit about it later on.

Ahh, they market that as a Scion over here. Looks like a fantastic new ride.

If I had the money for a replacement car, this would be on the narrow list of modern vehicles I would buy, be sure to share more!

Awesome car, awesome color.

Welcome to the club. I just bought a white FR-S Monogram myself.

Turns out it's doing pretty well on my commute as well so far.

40 mpg (imp) is about just under what I got with the MR2, I'm just 82 hp down.
If you can keep that average you are doing better than almost everyone else (looking at spritmoniter two guys are doing better than 7l/100km which is what 40 mpg imp converts to)

Awesome car btw but I told you that already

This car is an absolute class! Even if it's the same colour as both banana and minion.

Given the car it's first wash since I got it, but in the style of typical British weather, the rain is coming:





Took it to Croft for a Toyota event today, so here are some pictures from there:

From what I remember, you can buy a Scion FRS anywhere.. It's the Subaru BRZ that's exclusive to north america, and the GT86 is sold everywhere else.

[Microwave]

Nope, other way around. Scions are only sold in America.

[adamd]

Yeah we also get BRZs here, but they sell in much smaller numbers. Not that the GT86 has been a great seller in this country either.

[Microwave]

I've seen plenty of GT86s over here, VERY little BRZs. I guess the main market for the GT86 is Eastern Asia and the Middle East.

[adamd]

Supposedly, this year in Europe combined, there have been 853 GT86s sold and 211 BRZs. The figures are worse when you look at the cars' first 3 years. Toyota sold 13480 in Europe 2012-2014 inclusive, while Subaru only sold 1849.

[T16]

I believe it was the plan to sell less BRZ from the start, probably to make it more exclusive.
