I'm going to guess fogs, HIDS, and push button start.

I highly doubt we'll see any changes in the car, other then say some fixes such as tapping noises and tail light condensation. And, my guess, a $200-$300 increase.

That's my opinion (hope) too. Give me one with 25-30% more torque and power (don't care if N/A or FI) in 3-5 years. No need to rush.

Yeah, that's typical Scion. "Ok fine, we'll make a limited version of this car with the options you want but we're only going to make it in one color that you probably won't like."

If it's not red, I don't want it. Not to mention, they'll probably load it up with stupid flashy body parts I wouldn't want either. You just can't win with Scion. It's their limited way or the highway. Options are not an option.

would Supra Burgundy be ok?


The only body parts I can imagine it being would be the TRD kit or the GTS areo which is available in Australia and the EU.


But regardless, I'd love to sit up and speculate about special editions.

but if it doesn't come before the end of summer I will remain with the BRZ.

I can't wait no longer.

Nope I was thinking of selling it because I was looking at buying a house but I never found a house I liked, so just decided to keep it.

That's true, and the BRZ is actually quite comfortable to sleep in. Definitely not regretting my decision
