Greddy tuned Scion FR-S arrives at Cars and Coffee!

Since their debuts in Tokyo and Los Angeles the sport coupe triplets: Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT-86 and Scion FR-S have received quite a bit of attention from enthusiasts. However, Scion's FR-S has received the least. So Scion in the U.S. thought it might be fair to give the GReddy tuned FR-S a surprise appearance on the street in public for the first time.
