Maybe just keep your FRS and get another BRZ and a pair of JDM headlights? You will get the best of both worlds.

I don't think you will ever win my friend. You are going to see another limited edition with different color and goodies.

I doubt that it's glow-in-the-dark. Look, there's a switch for the light. Also, the badge is numbered.
#Scion10 models come in Silver Ignition paint, feature LED Scion badge, illuminated shift knob, numbered badge, & Scion 10 Series dash logo.

OH there's an actual solar panel in it! In the marketing info they said "solar luminescent gear knob" or something and it just sounded like fancy marketer-speak for "cheap green glow in the dark paint"

As much as I love Subaru, I can't pass up a special edition anything. Go for the Scion Series10.

I don't like the silver color of the Scion 10 FRS. Would rather just get a BRZ if I didn't want my FR-S, but I'm just as happy with a "regular" FR-S. ...As long as its in red.

The Scion tC Series 10 will be sold as a MY 2014, hence the confusion.

Per the press release, the Series 10 for all Scion models is supposed to go on sale in June. Why isn't there any information about pricing yet? That's just one month away...

This might be just me, and it's not to say anything bad about the other car, because everyone knows how much I love these twins. But for me.

The only reason I would buy any type of FRS or 86 variant, convertible included is because I couldn't afford or get my hands on a BRZ.

This is totally not a bias statement from me .... hahaha because I would totally rock a 10 series. I love the Silver. But for me if I ever see a BRZ I would tell myself....I wish I have that. That's just how I see it.

And I don't understand why op added the year.

Local dealer seems to think the 10's are MY 14's, August delivery, and they are being allocated based on previous sales. No pricing on them yet. Anything from a dealer needs a serious grain of salt tho.

Who is your dealer, basically the dealer has really no say in what they get. All dealers work on allocation so the best dealer in the area will probably get first dibs at a scion series 10. I would go who with ever has the most buying power since its pure pricing.

Lustine and Rosner are the two I called, cause I know they are open on Sunday. Know who sells the most in the area?
