Germain Scion Selected As First To Receive A Scion FR-S

Online, March 11, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Germain Toyota and Scion of Sarasota has been selected as one of the first US dealerships to receive the sought after Scion FR-S performance sedan.

Once in a blue moon a car with incredible hype comes along and captures the attention of the automotive industry. Currently, the Scion FR-S is doing just that. Recently, Germain Toyota/Scion of Sarasota, FL was informed that they have been selected as one of the first dealerships in the entire country to receive the FR-S sports car.

The FR-S comes from a long lineage of exciting sports cars that emphasize driving feel over extreme horsepower. Toyota and Scion designers used the AE86-generation Corolla as inspiration for the new roadster due to its great balanced handling and lightweight feel. FR-S stands for Front engine placement, Rear-wheel drive, Sports car and promises to deliver a stylish exterior, strong driving dynamics, and surprisingly efficient fuel economy.

Driving the 2013 Scion FR-S has been compared to more exotic sports cars like the Porsche Cayman which also have a low-center of gravity and rear-wheel drive. Instead of boosting horsepower, Scion and Toyota engineers looked at the power-to-weight ratio extensively. With only 200 horsepower, the FR-S is plenty quick thanks to its extremely light design.

Driving enthusiasts who value affordability as well as performance will be blown away by the 2013 Scion FR-S. Developed in a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru, the FR-S takes key components from two of the most advanced automakers in the world. Scion created the FR-S to put the "sports" back in sports car.

Germain Toyota and Scion of Sarasota have the unbelievably exclusive opportunity to offer one of the first of the Scion FR-S models. While this individual car has already been claimed, Germain will be getting more of this vehicle once distribution goes mainstream.
