BRZ. but yeah there's an idea of how it could look.

another color that brings out the lines of the car well.

can't wait to see how it turns out and if it'll have the options of the monogram series

We were told the reason for not changing the rims/tires or exaust....is because they know that people will change them out anyway to personalize them. So they will be offering NEW tire and rim packages and still the Borla Exaust upgrade.
Sorry I dont have anymore info then that.....

Hard to get excited about these frivolous changes that hardly change the car for the better.. I come from the corvette world where a special edition meant new engines, more power, better sounds, nicer wheels and stickier tires along with other performance enhancements, etc.. The color schemes were less important.
All we get is a color change, stick on panels and automatic climate control. Whoopie...

Many people would love to have a real special edition that had more power, louder exhaust, better wheels and tires all factory tested and approved with a warranty! A track package with big brakes and slightly lowered would be far more attractive than glued on yellow plastic bits.
Some feedback to discuss at your next managers meeting with corporate.

Just sayin...

Not always true. The 350Z was lighter than the Z32 300ZX, and the 370Z was lighter still. Not to mention the $35k sticker price of the Z32 twin turbo coupe, which equates to about $62,000 in today's dollars. The ZZW30 MR2 was lighter than both its predecessors.An MR2 Spyder was ~$23k in 2000 dollars, which is about $31k in today's dollars. Compare that to the SW20 MR2 Turbo which was ~$23k in 1990 dollars or over $40k in today's dollars. I'm sure there's other examples.

That was big money in 1990!

Thank you for your info and BELEAVE ME....I feel just as all of you do about how it needs more then what they are offering for it. But it all comes down to cost in the end. The more they offer and design for it....the more it costs the customer. And they are trying to keep the over-all cost down. But again, I TRUELY do understand and sooner then later you might just get your wish;-)

They could reallocate R&D investments for the iQ, xB, and xD to the FR-S and tC....

But that's just my .02 lol

This will be the last year for the xD anyway. A brand new model will be released early next year. Still working on getting pics for everyone.

Is this a joke? There is nothing special about this. Yellow? No...

Release Series 1.0 does seem interesting but considering your posts about a monogram that were fake, your credibility is shattered.

I'm sorry, but any credibility you had before was lost, IMO, after this thread. You responded childishly, provided feeble arguments, and, more often than not, failed to use proper spelling or grammar.

As a "Toyota Scion Manager" you should know better, and to advertise yourself and your branch like you did is just foolishness.

Until I see this from a credible source, i.e. @Moto-P, I'm not biting.

It should if they put the 2014 WRX motor in it?
