Toyota’s budget brand Scion has updated its FR-S sports coupe for 2016 with new standard kit, refreshed interior trim, and pricing that reflects the added equipment.
Okay, so “new standard kit” is a generous way to say the FR-S now comes with a backup camera; interior updates include new front door grips, centre console side trim, and steering wheel and shifter bezels.
We’d show you what the new interior bits look like, but you’ll have better luck hitting up your local Scion dealer, which should have the 2016 FR-S on its lot as you read this; Toyota has published just one exterior photo of the car, which shows exactly nothing we haven’t seen before.
Scion’s price for that backup camera and new trim bits is $820, the amount by which FR-S prices go up for 2016. With a manual transmission, the latest car goes for $27,490, and an automatic-equipped version sells for $28,670.

About Chris Chase
As a child, Chris spent much of his time playing with toy cars in his parents’ basement; when his mother would tell him to go play outside, he made car sounds while riding his bicycle or dug roads for his toys in the flower garden. Now he gets to indulge his obsession playing with real cars that make their own cool noises, and gets paid for it.
