Again I'm hoping you get it that soon. I have my doubts though.

I still don't understand, I did ask how much your car would be but you did not know. did you put down any deposit on it? How on earth they are building a car for you and you don't know which option you are going to get.

I purchased my 2012 Baja Edition Double-Cab Tacoma the same way, at least 6 months before it went into production.
So you are not the "general public"? Why not just say how you are getting one early? It would put a lot of this debate to rest.

Who got shafted? Who wants options that don't really add anything but cost and some frivolous amenities.. The beauty and value of this car lies in its simplicity..
Many on here bought the FRS for that reason.. Bells and whistles and "monogram" BS are all developed by marketing.. All the important engineering and Performance aspects are already there... That is where the value of this car is for myself and for many others.. I don't feel shafted in the slightest.. I'm glad I was able to get all the performance without having to pay for options and junk I would never use or care about.. Manufacturers keep adding options and sub models so they can raise the price... When they come out with a model that provides more performance without gobs of useless shit... That would be something worth looking into..

Who knows.. Dealers will say anything to get you to buy a car.. They are more than happy to tell you a happy story take your money while you wait and they wait for inventory.. If a car is ordered and being built, they will have a tracking order number and then provide you with a VIN when production begins.. Otherwise it's most likely lip service and a promise...

My living and financial situation will be changing shortly, so I plan to get a Monogram Edition around January. I am trusting your information and look forward to your pictures when your car is delivered.
Is the decklid spoiler the same as the one on the GT86 & BRZ?

These are really nice cars and I appreciate the new add-ons for suggestion but I'd rather install those I want myself and pay much less for the Dealer adding them for me. Your car; your Flavor.
Jus sayin

I've added the Arm Rest already have the carpet Trunk and the Bespeak radio not sure weather I will go with that one or an Aftermarket. Most of the other added features are just unnecessary fluff to me.

Not sure what Toyota/Scion does, but Subaru didn't put the VIN in the system until days before my car arrived. I finalized the port installed options before we had the VIN and the car was ready for me 11 days later. Until some point between the two days it had another kind of number, I forget exactly what it was called, maybe VON.

Has anyone considered that all 2014's can be Monograms?

The reason I'm stating this is all of the ones at my dealership have some mix of the options that are exclusive to the Monogram.

Unless the dealer installed those parts themselves the only cars that are similar speced to a Monogram would be a Series 10 and they only come in silver. The 2014 models already exist and you can buy today, I delayed my order for a 2014 because it doesn't have the stuff the Monogram does.

I believe the Monogram Series is supposed to be even more limited than the 10 Series...

Exclamation

Where can we order the 86 floormats? It is a must to rid everything that visibly shows Scion...
