good for you man.. i probably would have done the same if i had bought a fr-s earlier in the year. the extra luxuries are worth the cost.

As in, you respond strongly to their incentives, and then write eloquently about how happy you are with your decision.

No, as in you buy the car once, they make tiny changes, and you buy the car again! If Scion could sell two cars to everyone of it's buyers the brand wouldn't be sinking so goddamned fast!

Yeh no doubt I getting a standing ovation from them over my praise of their lame glowing badges

congrats! I love all the extra features in the 10 series I am still thinking about upgrading the touch screen to add navigation my dealer never offered it to me, but I have just been using apple maps on the iphone and ipad and that is working out so far for me. is your headunit pandora capable too?

Honestly I wish the brand would sink. I'm a Toyota fan (look at my sig) but never connected with scion. I'd have MUCH rather bought the car branded as a Toyota.

But yeh, I suppose I'm making their volume #'s look a tiny bit better for 2013

RE: Pandora, not sure. great question. I always just stream via BT since it lets you skip and you get album art, but switching stations and thumb up/down would be nice and might be worth plugging in for longer trips. I'll have to try it and report back.

Should ask your dealer what they want for the nav upgrade. Mine mischarged me @849, which is a steal compared to the correct price. Others dealers might be doing the same thing until they realize it's different with the new radios.

I also made the switch and have no regrets. I loved my first FR-S but sorely missed the nicer trim features (many of which are standard these days in ALL types of cars). I courted a BRZ Limited but just got a better deal on the 10 series. I prefer the front grill/better head unit anyway so that worked out. I didn't want a spoiler either. My first FR-S was just a lease.

Hey, nobody is perfect. You know what marketers call a person who gets on a long line then leaves it in frustration? A "reneger". In other words, the person broke their "promise" to stay in line.

BTW, I bet cops pick up on that glowing badge deal.

I'm not loving the badges either, but I don't hate them enough to bother with the effort to unplug them, and I don't have the self esteem issues that would make me embarrassed to have them. Yay late 30's confidence power! I wouldn't mind however swapping them for some other LED badge for the fun of customizing, just haven't found anything yet.

They only glow when the car's off and you walk up to it essentially.

Congrats on your frs10. The badges grow on you but you can always just unplug them and replace with toyota if that's your cup of tea.

Good on you mate.

Just wanted to clarify.

You all confuse my intentions, i just wanted to clarify with the owner. Not be a pompous douche (Which i am).

Many of a year ago i had to convince a friend not to sell his STI to buy a special model STI that did nothing to handling or power, just only looks (more JDM yo!) . Once he realized this, he didn't buy the "special" STI and had $5K in his pocket.
