Here's what's missing to be a Limited: - Fog lights - 86mm Exhaust tips - 86 badgeing (86 steering wheel logo, 86 red fender piston logo, floor mats) - Under car covers (this is a performance upgrade that reduces coefficient of drag only available on the 86 GT Limited, BRZ did not see this.) - High Grade Brake Pads from the 86 GT Limited (high μ pads) - I'm guessing the seats are the black with red accenting leather/alcantara and there is no option for the full on red colour keyed interior still, also from the 86 GT Limited. - Part of last point: red shift knob, red e-brake handle, red door sill, red door handle insert from 86 GT Limited. - Knee pads on center console and around speakers on the doors (heard this is on 2014 but only center console not doors as well?) - Is the armrest the rear leather armrest with red stitching or is it a new one for the front seats? - Trunk lid liner - Illuminated entry/door courtesy lamps - Vanity light in sun visor Again, this option will only please those who wanted an 86 GT, those of us who wanted the Limited are still shafted. As for your second post, we should have seen these parts from the start and the ones that are still missing. Not to mention Toyota should have brought this out, not Scion. What is even more infuriating is the trouble some of us went through trying to get these parts and being told, by Scion/Toyota, that they will not be made available and to basically go screw ourselves. Now they release this. I'm sorry, but that's a **** move. They had almost 10 years to get it right and they dropped the ball. As an old, long standing, Toyota fan, the damage is done. They'll have to do far better than this to win old fans like myself back.

-Fog lights will surely be a dealer option (they already are) -86mm exhaust tips failed the US regs for some reason, doubt we'll see these -Badging. The steering wheel 'Scion' and floormat 'FR-S' will stay. This isn't a Toyota 86, it's a Scion FR-S. And the red 86 fender badge is ugly, I like my silver one. -Install your own brake pads, like any other enthusiast would on any sports car. Come on. Furthermore, the economy brake pads suit 99.99% of buyers. The car definitely needs better pads, but that's a TRD-type accessory. -Full red interior? I will simply say that is not to my taste, and there's probably a good reason they don't offer it stateside (no one would buy it). -2014 cars get the knee pads -the armrest is an armrest...regardless I don't want it. I put stuff in my center console all the time anyway. -Trunk lid liner is worthless. It's a waste of weight and personally, I like to see my naked trunk. -This is the one point I agree with you on, haha--the top spec FR-S should have the extra lights like the BRZ does. |

Oh what a feeling... fucking Toyota.
I would've gotten this car if they initially offered it in 2012. Oh well.

those options are why I went Subaru to begin with. Kind of lame that the car you want shows up 2 years later, but eh.

I'm personally fine with the Monogram spec thus why I'm waiting for it. Although I can see why Saber TRD is frustrated, being a Scion plays a big part thanks to its silly monospec policy, the fact this car is being used to prop up a struggling brand rather than bolster the main brand which lacks excitement. I do find it annoying that this spec of FR-S wasn't offered in the first place.

I hope you do get it delivered this soon, but I would be VERY surprised. Your car would already have to be built to be getting delivery this soon, and Toyota/Scion hasn't even officially announced the Monogram. I don't know, call me a pessimist

I inquired via chat with Scion today and they would not release any information. Although, they did say that the Monogram FR-S is coming soon.

I'm not doubting that it's coming, but I'm skeptical that anyone will take delivery in 3-4 weeks. Considering Moto's info (which is the best we have right now) says pricing to be released in January and sales "soon after". I'll bet that March deliveries are more realistic.
