The first concept is the Jeep Wrangler Apache. The Wrangler concept features wider fenders, a bull bar with a Warn winch, and a stripe down the left side. Like the concepts Jeep brought last year, the Jeep Wrangler Apache concept will likely have more offroad accessories when it is finally revealed. The next concept teaser shows the Jeep J-12, which has a front-end design and bed side silhouette reminiscent of 1962-1971 Jeep Gladiator. The Gladiator was a full-size Jeep truck available in rear- or four-wheel-drive forms. If this J-12 concept is a full-size pickup, it could be based on the Ram 1500 chassis and powered by a Hemi V-8 engine. Jeep truck fans at last year’s event were treated to the JK8 Independence concept, which was based on the Wrangler Unlimited. Jeep said it had no plans to put the JK8 into production, but those interested could purchase a JK8 conversion kit. Another intriguing concept teased by Jeep is the Mighty FC concept that pays tribute to cab-over (also known as Forward Control) Jeeps of the past. While anything is possible, we’re hoping the Mighty FC concept is powered by a Cummins turbodiesel and built off a Ram Heavy Duty chassis. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifKVS1VVSM1535Q6FjeaYLzq7qG6q3qY_MyCQ6KxhwM1H1KpBglggXJfubpfWXw1cJVqH1519HiLXFubEh7V4zK9y6SzksRn767-drv7YXSAXaDxGqljqsI5S0qAQsLHTYtmCyrBDW0NU/s1600/2012moabjeepconceptmoapr-01.jpg"><img alt="Jeep J-12 concept" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723748603072906082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifKVS1VVSM1535Q6FjeaYLzq7qG6q3qY_MyCQ6KxhwM1H1KpBglggXJfubpfWXw1cJVqH1519HiLXFubEh7V4zK9y6SzksRn767-drv7YXSAXaDxGqljqsI5S0qAQsLHTYtmCyrBDW0NU/s200/2012moabjeepconceptmoapr-01.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 80px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirtyCPCt9OUnqZFGb4U0DpqWl7Hhvh8v4JEiMr3eOz33BnS2-wUielNaaX8WBar8LFReoB0Fg9PhoSwFrHOqUX2C9b74W9lVtqMkr8QMJ_p6SskF-NlB7brDWVNGwASV4U9PJ30O7YPjk/s1600/2012moabjeepconceptmoapr-02.jpg"><img alt="Jeep J-12 concept" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723748200639649618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirtyCPCt9OUnqZFGb4U0DpqWl7Hhvh8v4JEiMr3eOz33BnS2-wUielNaaX8WBar8LFReoB0Fg9PhoSwFrHOqUX2C9b74W9lVtqMkr8QMJ_p6SskF-NlB7brDWVNGwASV4U9PJ30O7YPjk/s200/2012moabjeepconceptmoapr-02.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 80px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpP8smTxppgU4FczrxN37_IEFKxHfzZNs8_4JvkcEkelF2zv7q1QYGX_KNOpTtZ9_vfEeIOYTYC1QStpHgWWtcrBSc69Yzs73RlQ8TMtCTz5EPbbA5e2c921vxkmK_9bKeKihgmkjUBY8/s1600/2012moabjeepconceptmoapr-03.jpg"><img alt="Jeep J-12 concept" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723748062658186706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpP8smTxppgU4FczrxN37_IEFKxHfzZNs8_4JvkcEkelF2zv7q1QYGX_KNOpTtZ9_vfEeIOYTYC1QStpHgWWtcrBSc69Yzs73RlQ8TMtCTz5EPbbA5e2c921vxkmK_9bKeKihgmkjUBY8/s200/2012moabjeepconceptmoapr-03.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 80px;" /></a> </center> Press Release 46th Annual Moab Easter Jeep® Safari Vehicle Sneak Peek March 22, 2012 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Jeep® and Mopar have teamed up once again to produce a selection of concept Jeep vehicles for the 46th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.

The Scion FR-S sports coupe is most inspired by the AE86 generation of the Corolla, better known as the Hachi-Roku, meaning “8-6” in Japanese. Equipped with the six-speed manual, the Scion coupe will return an estimated 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined. Opt for the six-speed automatic transmission, and fuel economy jumps to 25 mpg city, 34 mpg highway and 28 mpg combined. The rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S is equipped with a 200-horsepower 2.0-liter flat-4 engine. Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, FR-S badged floor mats, an eight speaker AM/FM/CD/USB 300-watt Pioneer audio system, HD Radio technology and Bluetooth. It also gets six standard airbags. Inside, the cabin is nicely equipped with sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an eight-speaker Pioneer audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. The 2013 FR-S has a retail price of $24,200 (for the manual version) ($24,930 after destination). The 6 speed manual model is priced at $25,300. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvbI_pd08vMQVegJ1scMoufcXdqmayrI8R5Q3km7o3J2ng33IUjks-DJDpW_neUYcTkjuE9AaYSfBxXE11qmooXLvm3b_qkmLqM-Dzg8CLVLIFvAni7V79-Z5ivzutX-wGGm6l8kt96PI/s1600/Scion_FRS_001.jpg"><img alt="2013 Scion FR-S" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723045876636564290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvbI_pd08vMQVegJ1scMoufcXdqmayrI8R5Q3km7o3J2ng33IUjks-DJDpW_neUYcTkjuE9AaYSfBxXE11qmooXLvm3b_qkmLqM-Dzg8CLVLIFvAni7V79-Z5ivzutX-wGGm6l8kt96PI/s200/Scion_FRS_001.jpg" style="cursor:pointer;

The FR-S starts with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $24,200 when equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, and $25,300 when equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission that features paddle shifters and rev-match technology. The high-performance coupe is the fifth model to join the Scion family and will go on sale this spring. "Scion's goal was to create an affordable sports car that true driving enthusiasts could enjoy," said Jack Hollis, Scion vice president. "We accomplished that goal with the FR-S starting under $25,000...a total home run! Add in Scion's complimentary Scion Service Boost, our no-haggle no-hassle Pure Price, and Scion's network of about 1,000 dealers, and the FR-S is a grand slam." Pure Balance The FR-S, which stands for Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, Sport; is Scion's definition of an authentic rear-wheel-drive sports car with exceptionally balanced performance and handling, compelling style, flexible utility and surprising fuel efficiency. The FR-S is a true "scion," born into a lengthy history of Toyota performance cars and motorsports. During planning and development, it was most inspired by the AE86 generation of the Corolla, better known as the Hachi-Roku, meaning "8-6" in Japanese. The AE86 was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe that was lightweight and well balanced, making it a solid choice for driving enthusiasts. Inspired by the AE86, the FR-S is designed around the core goal of achieving "Pure Balance." The balance begins with the strategic use of the world's only flat boxer engine in a front-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration. The engine's compact size and flat shape allow it to be mounted mid-ship and extremely low, giving the car a dynamically favorable front-to-rear weight ratio of 53:47 and a low center of gravity comparable to some exotic supercars. The FR-S's 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine is the result of a joint development between Toyota and Subaru. The partnership begins by combining Subaru's newly developed, horizontally opposed engine and Toyota's cutting edge D-4S injection system that incorporates both direct and port injection. The D-4S system, partnered with a high 12.5:1 compression ratio, results in an impressive 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. The flat-four mates with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The manual offers quick, precise shifts with a short-throw; while the automatic features aggressive up shifts and sporty rev-matched down shifts that are initiated by steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Power is transferred to the pavement via a standard Torsen® limited-slip differential. The idea of "Pure Balance" is further realized by the FR-S's lightweight design and compact size. The combination allows the car to be quick and nimble into and out of corners, with dynamic maneuverability and confident handling. The coupe's weight is kept to a minimum by utilizing a lightweight aluminum hood, a solid roof, and by featuring a trunk design instead of a hatchback. The FR-S's low weight is matched with a dynamically tuned suspension setup consisting of MacPherson struts up front and a double wishbone system in the rear. Lightweight 17-inch alloy wheels and ventilated disc brakes are standard on all four corners. Powerful Exterior Design The fierce exterior of the FR-S is a solid reflection of its inner power. The profile, inspired by the Toyota 2000GT, reveals a hood and roof-line that is remarkably sleek and low, giving it an aerodynamic shape that channels air cleanly over to the top. The low stance continues to exaggerate the coupe's menacing face, which is made up of sharp lines, a wide mouth and angular headlights that house the projector-beam halogen lamps. The aggressive front fenders protrude upward and boast the iconic ‘86' piston emblem, which highlights the car's AE86 heritage as well as its unique new boxer engine. The rear fascia sits low and wide, with aerodynamic lower treatments that surround the sporty dual exhaust system. LEDs illuminate the edgy taillights, while center-mounted backup lights finish the muscular design. The FR-S will be available in seven colors including Raven, Asphalt, Hot Lava, Argento, Ultramarine, Firestorm and Whiteout. Performance-Focused Interior The FR-S's interior includes a 2+2 seating configuration that is designed with both form and function in mind. The front seats feature deep bolsters and are mounted extremely low and are comfortable yet assertive, while the rear seat folds down flat, creating flexible space. The car will come standard with FR-S badged floor mats. The large center-mounted tachometer is the focus of the three-gauge cluster and features a programmable shift-indicator, informing the driver of the engine's vitals. Speed is monitored by both digital and analog gauges. The FR-S features a sporty leather-trimmed steering wheel that has both tilt and telescopic adjustment. The FR-S will come standard with an eight-speaker AM/FM/CD/USB 300-watt maximum output PioneerTM audio system. Standard features also include HD RadioTM technology and Bluetooth® connectivity that allows both hands-free phone connection as well as streaming audio capability. Sports Car Performance with Excellent Safety Features FR-S comes standard with six airbags, including dual-stage advanced driver- and front-passenger airbags, front-seat-mounted airbags and side-curtain airbags. Like all Scions, FR-S features the Star Safety System that includes Traction Control (TRAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Brake Assist (BA), an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and Smart Stop Technology (SST). The delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for all Scion models is $730 and is not included in the MSRP. DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary. Warranty and Complimentary Scion Service Boost Like all Scion models, the FR-S is covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile comprehensive warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. The FR-S will come standard with Scion Service Boost, a complimentary plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and two years of 24-hour roadside assistance.
