Anyway, as for 2014 model rumors, I no longer have my scion contact that I got all the info about the release series from before the fact. My guess is that the 14 will have a few of the updates that the release series had ie: headlights, maybe push to start etc. But that's just my guess, nothing to back it up.

Not to de rail this at all, but i made him show me the "article" he had told me about, and he very proudly pulled up the post on April 1st on this very forum, that i looked over knowing it was a joke. Needless to say, he was super embarrassed and apologized to me haha. Anyway, thats that! I'm excited to hear some real rumors, kind of like when a new iphone is coming out.

Wow you had me worried, I'm on my provisional license (I'm 52) and here in Sydney, NSW it is against the law for Provisional drivers to drive anything over 200kW, any forced induction and no V8s until full license.

if they get navi, i'll go trade in my BeSpoke for the stock unit. navi would be useful as hell.

The Tc is a 2014, the FRS a 2013

Just heard from my very official dealer insider friend that the 2014 models will come stock with twin turbos, making 340hp and 400 torques. The interiors will be full alcantara on every surface. The suspension will be lowered 3 inches from the 2013 model and have -30 degrees of camber and a "daily driven" sticker on the bumper. They are also rebranding it as a Toyota.

My sales rep. tells me the 2014 will be available in September. She has no information on updates or color changes. I've given her my pre-pre order for a 2014 if there are some changes I'm hoping for.

September is when the orders start. They won't actually be here until October/November.
Plus, that wouldn't exactly be surprising considering the late launch of the Series 10. They said they'd be here in June, but people are just starting to get them NOW.

I do hope its not the old subaru unit that ends up in the FRS its good at navigation and all but not too well.

How credible them telling us there was a software issue is, i don't know because other members have said they've seen in on a 2014 TC. So they could just be BSing us.

I bet that software issue is that it wasn't available in French language.....
Everything up here needs both English and French language options.

i know this is a old post but i have been after my local scion dealer for weeks about the nav in 2014 (canadian model) and he said its not listed as a canadian option yet. i was having trouble finding a 2014 car to begin with. I then contacted my cousin at toyota corporate office and well i have a canadian 2014 coming with the 6.1" and a canadian nav upgrade! its about $1000 option so when i get it (next week maybe) il post an update if there is anyone interested in it. Ive also been told it is coming with remote start from the factory? have not heard anything about this so i will be interested to see whats actually in it when I get it.
