Scion FR-S Shines Again as AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star

To become an AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star, the Scion FR-S had to shine. By achieving it twice, the FR-S shows lasting power. The annual list from the publication’s industry judges compared all current model year vehicles on sale in the United States. The 2014 FR-S shares its spot with the 2014 Subaru BRZ.

To determine their top picks, AUTOMOBILE Magazine judges evaluated how the FR-S looked and handled when staff and contributors drove GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Mich. and on public roads. They praised the rear-wheel drive sports car for its communicative steering, athletic chassis and a pure driving experience. Plus, the continuing affordability makes the FR-S accessible to more driving enthusiasts.

“Is 200 horsepower enough for a sports car? Yes, provided that sports car is light and has a perfectly balanced, rear-wheel-drive chassis. Oh, and don't forget to include perfectly placed controls,” said Jean Jennings, president and editor-in-chief of AUTOMOBILE Magazine. “Because of all this, the FR-S is among the few modern cars you can enjoy driving at the limit without losing your license.”

AUTOMOBILE Magazine also took the FR-S on a road trip from its editorial offices in Ann Arbor, Mich. to New Orleans. You can read the full All-Star article atwww.automobilemag.com/2014allstars/.

“For the second year, AUTOMOBILE Magazine editors recognized the all-star power and wide appeal of the Scion FR-S,” said Scion Vice President Doug Murtha. “The 2014 FR-S continues to introduce new drivers to how exhilarating and possible a sports car can be for them.”

The 2014 FR-S comes standard with a touchscreen audio system, a limited-slip differential and 2.0-liter flat boxer engine that produces 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. The 2014 Scion FR-S is priced at $24,700 MSRP with a six-speed manual transmission or $25,800 MSRP with a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management® technology.
