Wednesday night, Denny Huang and a couple others, as well as myself were out in downtown Los Angeles, CA for the highly anticipated reveal of the Scion FR-S, the US version of the Toyota GT 86. I was asked earlier in the week by Jason Siu, of Tunerzine.com fame if I wanted to head up there to cover the event for AutoGuide.com and being the wonderful gentleman that I am, I obliged.
Having seen pictures online of what the GT 86 and Subaru BRZ had to offer, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect when I got there but to be honest, the car was actually pretty rad in person. Styling wise, the car is a little aggressive for my liking but if the price point is right, Scion definitely has a hit on their hands… I guess time will tell.
Usually passing on a lot of these events, it was nice to see a lot of familiar faces in attendance including Jarod DeAnda, who was emceeing the event, as well Jon Sibal, RJ, Ken Miyoshi and a lot of others that I won’t bother rambling off since you most likely don’t care anyways.
