Consumer Reports Delivers The Tofu

Click here to view the embedded video.

Will the Scion FR-S drift? My opinion could be summed up as: who cares? Drifting ain't fast, yo.

Consumer Reports, however, has decided to answer this question with the same diligence they usually reserve for toaster duty-cycle measurement. In the above video Jake Fisher handbrakes his way to glory in the little Toyobaru. This is a sequel to a similar, and well-received, Subaru BR-Z test.

If nothing else, the video buries the image long-cultivated by Car and Driver, among others, that the CR guys are a bunch of lab-coat dipsticks who are too busy compiling reliability data to have any fun.

TTAC will have an FR-S track test video coming up in the next few weeks. Don't look for me to showboat the car. For that, apparently, you'll need to visit America's most-respected consumer advocacy publication.
