Wow, this is such a quick and a load of responses. Thanks, I guess it was one of those things folks were waiting a long time to see from Scion.

You just made some folks upset and angry. Im gonna see another thread, "Im so glad I traded my FRS for my Monogram series." Or something worse "Im so glad I traded my 10 series for Monogram series". Pretty sure there will be a thread about it.

Wanna bet?

Personally for me, yes. There is this BRZ that shares part of the same work route with me and every time he sees my frs he gets a douche smile on his face. I bet my new raven, or whiteout, monogram will wipe his douchy smile off!!

Ur logic. Why would anyone trade an frs for a 10 series? Not gonna add extra 10 hp. That was my logic sir. Unfortunately, it still happened. Maybe they traded just to get rid of that glowing shit?

People who complain about a BRZ bumper I think just want to jump on the FR-S bumper bandwagon. I have my BRZ parked next to an FR-S right outside and seeing both side by side, in person, I can honestly say that both front ends look very nice. I used to be on the bandwagon of FR-S bumpers and would waste my time googling "Swap BRZ bumper with FR-S". It's the stupidest thing ever. Now that I have an FR-S parked next to me daily I always look at both front ends and realize, "Hmm...the FR-S bumper doesn't look as incredibly flawless as everyone makes it out to be."

BRZ has a nice looking front end + a ton of features. It's basically side by side with Scion's Monogram FR-S, except by the time the Monogram comes out you're going to be better off getting a BRZ Limited for thousands of dollars less. With all that money you save you can go ahead and get your reverse camera, exhaust, wheels, suspension, tint, stereo system, and whatever else you feel like spending the money that you saved on.

And for those people talking about trading in your FR-S already to get this new Monogram, think about how much money you're upside-down, then add that onto the new loan that you need for the Monogram, and then add interest. No one should be putting themselves in a financial hole. You're gonna end up paying 35k+ for a Monogram bone stock. Just wait until you start wanting suspension, wheels, etc. You'll be in a financial sink hole when you could've just kept your current FR-S and invested money into what you have instead of taking 10 Series of steps backwards.
The 2013 BRZ doesn't have an armrest though....thinking of trading in my limited now

I think it'll make him smile even more if he recognizes you.

I remember reading somewhere that one of the possible strategies for the Scion brand was to make it a sort of an entry level luxuary division. Maybe this is their first test to see it works.

BTW: MSRP is going to be $29,995.00, to avoid the $30K for a Scion psychological barrier.

It'll be around $32k after taxes, if thats the case. Plus any of the "pure pricing" BS markups.

I happen to like my glowing badge. It’s unique.

If that's the price in the States, I don't even want to know how much it'll cost in Canada.. Sigh
