That's fine with me. Makes me appreciate purchasing a whiteout even more!

Also curious about the new key. When I first read that I thought they meant keyless start became standard or something. Then I saw the word "design" boo.

Wonder what parts of the interior got changed. From the picture, it looks like they only changed the passenger side/center console dash panel. Would be nice if they changed up the door panels too, I keep reading that they're really easy to scuff.

And that third color in the pictures is very interesting. Also looks like an almost matte black to me.

It still amazes me that scion has not, i repeat HAS NOT added fog lights to the FRS ! To make it a standard add on. thats one of the reasons i got a BRZ instead.

Halo sounds like a pretty cool name for a color.

If it's the same white as the WRX Sti I see on my daily commute it has a bluish hue to the white instead of the bronzy look the SWP has; makes sense if the stitching will be blue.

Third color is probably a CGI representation of asphalt.

This shouldn't be a surprise. It's all part of their "monotrim" gimmick. Fog lights rarely come standard on sporty cars anyways.

i see my 2014 whiteout increasing in resale value.

it has kneepad
it has the now discontinue white

i like these new changes haha

stevesnj · 05-15-2014, 05:14 PM

The FR-S is the economy version of the BRZ and 86. More add on than standard features to keep pricing low.

BoxRZ_86 · 05-15-2014, 05:22 PM

I wonder if the sharkfin has satellite radio antenna built in and work with the brz.

I noticed this too, that both the 2015 pics in the OP and pics of the yellow RS 1.0 lack kneepads. All 2014 FR-S models, including standard and monogram, has speaker and console knee pads equipped.

This article that just came out 6 hours basically just reiterates the changes

Raise the base msrp by 500 and add some tips, auto lights, and a shark fin. Most of us are already doing that lol, nothing special. Although i am curious about the part number for the fin 8D
