Toyota has released new images of its Scion FR-S rear-wheel drive sports car, while confirming that the vehicle will be coming to the U.S. in 2012.

First known as the FT-86 Concept, the car originally appeared at an auto show in 2009, with no timetable for production. The car is the result of a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru to develop a 2 + 2 coupe to fill a hole in their lineups. Toyota's version of the vehicle has an aggressive, swooping front end and sleek styling, inline with the youth-oriented Scion brand. No performance information has been released, but it will reportedly be priced at $25,000 to compete with models like the Camaro and Mustang.

Subaru has not yet unveiled its production version of the vehicle, only showing off the chassis at the recent Geneva Auto Show with a translucent body that is unlikely to be seen in the final design. According to Edmunds, it may only be available in Europe.

Waiting for Toyota to release this new coupe will likely take some time, but if drivers are sold on this sleek-looking vehicle already, they might want to consider purchasing a used car in the meantime. New Jersey State Auto Auction offers a wide range of cars for sale at low prices that can easily tide drivers over until the FT-86 hits.
