Convince me to wait on the 2014 model details

I am tired of driving a raggedy car, I have been waiting 6 months to buy this car. I feel like crap. I don't know if I can make it another month. Thinking about running to the dealership and buying the first fr-s I see. HELP!

I don't really see the point in waiting. I seriously doubt the 14's will be much different and you are probably not going to be able to get one for another 4+ months depending on allocation.

I don't think anything is worth waiting for really.

Time to put the big boy pants on and make a decision for yourself. If you want the car, just buy it. Nothing exciting is going to happen for 2014.

Just buy it now like everyone said. No use really unless you want the special tron-wannabe edition.

Also, if you buy a 2013, you'll always have an "Original"

Discount? If anything the price could go up on the 2014. If the touchscreen is anything like the BRZ touchscreen nav unit, I would recommend getting the current Pioneer deck and going aftermarket.

i say wait. There will probably be slight fixes for any small issues that they find. Like a bug fix on a patched up software.

-2014 will have new audio
-2014 will have higher resale due to that number "14" instead of "13" even if you drive off a 13 a month before, people will look at it like it's a year older :/
-2014 IS just around the corner
