Nisei Car Show Part III: Show, Go and Some Exotics

Here's our final set of pictures from the Nisei Festival car show.

Nisei Fest Car Show 2012 Part II: Show, Go and Some Exotics

If this year's Nisei Fest was any indication, it was that the car tuning culture is still very much alive in Southern California.

Even with the temperatures soaring in the mid 90s, it didn't prevent a steady stream of spectators from attending the show.

Toyotafest 2012 Old school meets new school

ToyotaFest 2012 featured many rare and unique Toyotas like this S800.

Turns out it great when the weather forecaster is wrong.  The clouds were nowhere to be seen, and it was nothing but sunshine, music and of course the cars.  This year's 17th annual Toyotafest held at the Queen Mary in Long Beach was a great event.  There were cars ranging from the ultra rare Toyota S800 coupe, to the newest Scion xB and tC on display.  Lexus was also on hand, letting attendees pick out a design to have screen printed onto a t-shirt for free.

The Tokyo Auto Salon is currently going on, and along with the abundance of aftermarket companies' tuning parts on display, a number of vehicles are displayed too.  Some cars even give demonstrations in a lot adjacent to the show. 

Scion offering 86 new FRS vehicles

Readers know we are very excited for the soon to be on sale Scion FRS sports coupe.  We have great news for those that are as excited as we are about the car:  Scion has announced they are giving people the chance to be one of the first owners of 86 new coupes (which coincides with the name used for the car in Japan although badged as a Toyota).  For a chance to be one of the few lucky individuals who can win, visit the following link on January 12th, 2012 at 12pm EST:  Scion FRS First 86

Entry time is limited to only 8 hours and 6 minutes after that, so don't be caught sleeping (literally for those on the east coast)!

Tell your friends and spread the word.  Who knows, if you don't win maybe your friend who does will let you drive the car!  Happy motoring and keep on driving!

Editor's note:  Please note that at this time, it seems the vehicles are for lucky pre-order customers.  We apologize for any confusion.

Technical Look at the Subarota spawn: Toyota 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ

Courtesy of Mike Kojima from MotoIQ, here is an in-depth look at the new Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ coming to the U.S. next year.  The vehicle looks to have a solid foundation for tuning enthusiasts and with a few minor modifications, it should prove to be a very rewarding dance partner in the twisty bits of a drive.
