Video: Chris Harris Gets Behind the Wheel of Toyota GT-86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ)
Chris Harris has an interesting way of expressing his opinion about every vehicle that he drives. To say the least, he is brutally honest in most cases and sometimes it does not sit well with the manufacturer or die-hard enthusiasts of a particular car. Now comes Chris’ chance spend a good 20 to 30 minutes behind the wheel of the Toyota 86, or aptly known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ here in America.
Chris Harris heads to Spain and takes the new Toyota 86 for a flogging. See it in action and what Chris has to say about Toyota’s new sports coupe in the video below.

Video: Side-By-Side Toyota 86 Epic Drift Battle Action
Ever since the final conception of the new Toyota 86, aka Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, tuners and true automotive enthusiasts have placed their crosshairs on this new inexpensive sports car waiting to see what it is truly capable of. It is no doubt that the new “86”, FR-S or BRZ has quite a bit of potential for tuners, but what about those who are serious about drifting?

The guys taking the Toyota 86 sideways take it a step further by drifting side-by-side another Toyota 86 in this epic drifting battle video below. Enjoy!

Acura NSX Concept Video Attempts to Bring Sexy Back

You cannot make much of a convincing argument in saying that the old Acura NSX is not a sexy sports car. With that said, we dare to ask the question: Is the new Acura NSX Concept car at-all sexy or appealing? Some enthusiasts will bring up the fact that the new Acura NSX boasts a hybrid drivetrain and that ends the discussion right there. Others will let the new design marinate with a future possibility of allowing the new Acura NSX to satisfy their appetite for what the NSX was (and still is) known for. Quite possibly the new Acura NSX Concept Gran Turismo 5 (Polyphony) Promo video below will change some people’s minds… somewhat doubtful, but there is always hope in all-things sinful. Enjoy!
