Monogram Series FR-S is official!

[hanabie]

I'd have gotten mine in red if I had to choose this over BRZ.
I would not even bother BRZ if this was offered last year. Oh well...

But I'm so glad, I did not buy 10 series lol.

If I buy this series, I just need full TRD kit and the fog like lol. Call it a day hahahaha..

Even cleaning the back window is a pita... lol.


FYI, I visited Alaska last August. Crazy windy roads, but some of the roads outside of Anchorage are a rough surface. I was thinking it would be fun during the summer for drives in Alaska, but winter is a definite nope!

haha Well there ya go! I'm 5' 8", so it's not terrible for me back there.

Yeah, the roads have grooves, frost heaves, etc. It can be a bit sketchy. I was in heaven during my road trip in May with the BRZ when I went to the Lower 48. Such nice roads for most of those places!

For me the highways are the scariest roads during the winter because of the ice AND the grooves. Otherwise I have some fun on the windy roads. The car handles so well that even with TC off and a little slip it's super easy to recover. I've been practicing keeping throttle mid drift so as not to spin out. Obviously when no one else is around. Winter has been a great learning tool.

Anyways, as I remarked on the Series 10, had THIS come out from the beginning, I'd most likely be in a Scion right now rebadged with Toyota emblems. Oh well. I'm working on my BRZ STI, so I'm a happy camper.

[hanabie]

Yep! Rebadge right away! as soon as I get this series on hands lol.
Rebadging is like a no-brainer mod.

out of the whole package, I still don't see foglights in this package, I'd give up the leather seats and heated seats for fogs... I have no need for those =P

So many people have a beef with the 10 series and I don't even know why...

Right? It's like they think someone forced them to buy the cars at gunpoint. Even I had a feeling that Scion would release something like the GT-86 Limited EVENTUALLY. I just had zero desire to wait for it.

"Good things come to those who wait."

Regardless people still complain about the prices, so whatever.

Just found the press image gallery with good quality images of some of the new stuff: http://pressroom.scion.com/album_dis...section_id=624

They're just jealous about the awesome anniversary commercial we have. I'm pretty sure about that.

I'm just going to trade my 4Runner in on it and tell the wife, "what is done is done."

She probably won't divorce me.

This is the one thing I don't understand. It has all the goodies, but no fogs?
