What goes along with the hot summer days better than a new coupe? Probably a drop top one, but Scion says you’ll be fine with its new 2014 FR-S and tC models as well. They both come with some new features made to increase driving pleasure.
Starting off with the best one in the lineup, the 2015 Scion FR-S follows the same mechanical upgrades received by the Toyota GT 86, wearing new stiffer suspension mounts at the front and retuned rear shock absorbers which are said to further decrease body roll and make the whole car feel more communicative.
Stylistic changes haven’t been forgotten, so the refreshed FR-S comes with a shark-fin antenna, larger exhaust tips, carbon fiber-like interior plastic trimmings, automatic headlamps and a new key fob.
The Argento body finish has been replaced by Steel while the Whiteout one got ditched in favor of a new Halo pearl shade.
Pricing for the 2015 Scion FR-S starts at $24,900 for the standard six-speed manual version, going up to $26,000 for the six-speed automatic transmission one, both prices being $355 shorter than the previous models.
The smaller front-wheel-drive 2015 Scion tC also received some goodies, but unfortunately they are resumed to some interior and visual changes. You now get steering wheel mounted paddle shifters for the automatic version with Dynamic Rev Management and two new colors: Classic Silver has been replaced by Cosmic Gray and Super White by Blizzard Pearl.
The 2015 Scion tC will now start at $19,210 for the six-speed manual and $20,360 for the six-speed automatic transmission version. Which means the first one is $755 cheaper and the latter is $605 down from last year.
