It's all gone a bit quiet on the Toyobaru front lately, but this video has prompted us to return the diminutive coupe to the PH homepage.
It's actually the Scion FR-S, the version of the GT 86/BRZ that's being sold under Toyota's US brand and aimed specifically at the young and funky.
To which end, Scion invited competitive drifter and racer Ken Gushi to chuck an FR-S around Sodeguara Forest Raceway, complete with several cameras and a side order of rain. The result? Some most amusing hooning.
And to help win over those disappointed by the Toyobaru's looks, we spotted these pics of a GReddy-tweaked version of the Scion in the GT 86 first drive thread.
Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder, but lowered, on those wheels, and with its black paint glinting in the winter sunshine, the Scion looks pretty good, we reckon.
