What's in our Car Town garage today?

2012 Scion FR-S

The brand-new rear wheel drive Scion FR-S may not be as exciting to look at but it's probably one of the best-handling car in ages. It was built under a joint cooperation between Toyota and Subaru and the engine that powers the FR-S is a Subaru 2.0L boxer engine which gives this car low center of gravity. It's mated with a 6-speed manual (or an optional 6-speed auto) and like the name itself, drive goes to the back. To make it less grippy, the FR-S is fitted with skinny low-profile tires from the Prius, providing outstanding results to the handling department.

2013 Subaru WRX Concept

At the 2013 New York Auto Show, Subaru gave us a sneak preview on what is believed to be the next-generation of our fan favorite Subaru AWD sportscar, the WRX STi. While no one knows what powers it for now, the WRX Concept has some striking presence thanks to its sharp design and unique color scheme like the WR Blue Pearl III exterior color which modernizes the iconic WRX look while Fluorescent Yellow is used as an accent on the WRX badge on the front grille, the brake calipers and the exhaust tip finishers.

2013 SRT Viper TA

The Viper Time Attack special edition is built by Chrysler's SRT for one purpose; to become a track-focused version of what is believed to be America's supercar for the masses. Limited to 33 units, the Viper TA stripped out most of its luxury peripherals for weight loss and make it more driver focused. It also comes with a very exclusive Crusher Orange color as well. The folks at Motor Trend tested this round the Laguna Seca and with the lap time of 1:33.62 using Corsa tires, it's .08 seconds faster than the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1, making it the fastest production car Motor Trend lapped it round Laguna Seca.
