No need without competition since Ranger and S-10 left the segment. That's about to change with both nameplates returning soon. In response, an all-new long overdue Tacoma is in the pipe. Rumor is that it's downsizing to comply with new EPA fuel economy mandates for light trucks.

Meanwhile, there's stiff competition in the sub-$30K sporty car segment where FR-S has to stay fresh or die.

There are 4 trim levels of the 86 in the JDM if I recall correctly..
Easy for OEM to bring another trim level here, give it a few logos and
Sell it as a limited edition. Profitable move on their part..
Good for those looking for those options.. But the hype about it coming from a different factory, built by unicorns... Etc. was too funny..

Oh my ..... ??

I'd give them a call ..... tell them ol humfrz got his in 7 days ..... and ask what's up??

Of course, they most likely drug mine off a dusty shelf and they are making yours "custom", to make sure it will fly "somewhere in space" ....

Seriously, are you getting the e-mail status reports?

Either way, I'd suggest you give them a call, just to follow up on the order.

Im tracking the status and its waiting to be built.. hasnt moved since the 23rd.
they had a black friday sale and i assume a bunch of orders..
the status is awaiting pickup, i thought it meant packed and ready to ship.
but it means the order is waiting for fabrication..

Ahhhh......see. Well, I'm sure they're "on it".

Meanwhile, here is something you may consider doing. Line the spare tire well with Dynamat (or Peal & Stick from a home improvement store).

That "well" can act as a "drum" and amplify the sounds coming from the exhaust tips. I'm not saying the exhaust "drones" but lining the trunk "well" seems to make the interior quieter.

Another hint: Have a plug ready to stuff into the mouth of the sound generator (at least temporarily) because it seems the sounds from the sound generator try to compete with the sounds coming from the exhaust ..... and it seems that 1 + 1 = 3.

January 2014 is soon approaching. What is the word and does anyone have pictures yet, beside the one previously posted.

Monogram, have you received your car yet? If so, post pictures!
