Interesting! I spy a TRD rear spoiler. I might have to buy this. Black Prodrive GT1s and done.

I just bought a Monogram, I would be a little upset if I didn't hate the color yellow with everything in my soul. Anything short of a supercar that is yellow turns into the ugliest car within 50 miles after 5 years old. Old dodge neon, VW beetle, Ford mustang. Anything that is 5+ years old and not an Italian supercar is uugggglllyyyy. God I hate yellow.

Probably not if these are prepared at the "TRD Factory".

Color is ugly, body kit is ugly, quad tip is ugly and they insist on selling us those ugly wheels...

Keep up the good work.

Man their marketing department is so fucking smart.

(Summer 2012)

-Here everyone, buy the brand new RWD sport car from Toyota!

(One year later)

-Sell that regular, old FR-S and buy the 10 Series that is exclusive and has genuine JDM parts!

(6 months later)

-Fuck your 10 Series, we came out with a better alternative with the same options and more, in every color already available called the Monogram Series!

(2 months later)

-That Monogram Series is old news and isn't special, so here, take this special edition yellow color, with a few TRD add ons, with literally everything you get on the Monogram! Are you pissed yet? Well if you aren't, you probably will be when we release the 2015 that has a turbo (lol jk, we don't want a fucking turbo)

*With all of these, you get great appearance upgrades for a lot more money, but no one wants more power, so you don't get any!!! Isn't it fucking great???

I think Toyota should have spent their time actually resolving the issues with the 2013/2014 before they start releasing all these lame variations. Fuel pumps, transmissions, seals, etc. I'm glad Subaru told them to go pound sand when they wanted to do a soft top convertible and a four-door. I also like how they put out numbered editions after the car had been out for over a year. Where's my fancy number plate?

Anyone else notice the shark fin? Looks like this is going to be a '15 model year then.

I forgot how Scion put a gun to your head forcing you to buy the car.

Only naive people could expect power upgrades on a BRAND NEW ENGINE on the 3rd model year. Be realistic, people.

Did anyone say they are forcing us? It's just aggravating, albeit very intelligent on their part, to keep releasing all these special editions that make the "regular" ones slightly lose their "cool" factor.

Also, many platforms receive yearly performance bumps or power bumps after at least a couple years.
