Scion FR-S Named 2013 AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star

SCION CANADA - The Scion FR-S was named a 2013 AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star yesterday as part of the leading automotive publication's annual list. To earn its spot, industry judges evaluated the FR-S against all current model year vehicles on sale in the United States across all categories. The FR-S shares its spot with the Subaru BRZ.

In naming the FR-S, AUTOMOBILE Magazine highlighted the rear-wheel sport car's engaging driving experience and accessibility.

"The affordable and fun-to-drive FR-S is not only a welcome addition to the automotive landscape for American enthusiasts, it's also exactly the sort of vehicle we've been hoping to see from Scion," said Jean Jennings, president and editor-in-chief at AUTOMOBILE Magazine. "We are very happy to celebrate its arrival."

The FR-S comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, a limited-slip differential and 2.0-liter flat boxer engine that produces 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque.
