Following in the suit of the 2015 Toyota GT 86 and Subaru BRZ, Scion has applied the same line of updates to its North American FR-S coupe.

Visible changes on the outside include the aerodynamic shark-fin antenna instead of a pole antenna and larger exhaust tips that sit more flush with the rear bumper, while Scion also replaced the Argento hue with a new silver color named Steel, and Whiteout with the Halo pearl shade priced at $395.

On the inside, the 2015MY FR-S gets auto on/off headlights as standard, along with a new carbon fiber look for the dashboard panel and a different key design.

What you can’t see are the changes under the body via a more rigid front suspension and re-tuning of the rear shock absorbers, which Scion says, offer better handling and stability, with the improved damping resulting in “less body roll and a more communicative driving experience”.

You’ll find the 2015 FR-S in Scion dealerships this June with the 6sp manual gearbox model priced at $24,900, and the six-speed automatic, from $26,000, excluding a deliver fee of $755.
