What other car can you get with 6 speed, RWD, 2700 lbs, LSD, bucket seats and handling tailored after the cayman? for $20K, of course lol.

You guys say 25k is too much for a Scion.
So are you guys saying, if this car was branded as a Toyota with the exact same options, then it would be ok at 25k? |

Am I missing something here? Isn't this the same article that has been available online since December?

Not at all; my point is that 25k is too much for what it is; be it a Subaru, Toyota, Scion, or even a Lexus. |

lol not at all. I should have put the word "eventually" in there. Should be possible with around 350 at the crank. We won't talk about how much it'll cost to get there though , that's why I should have added "eventually"

I agree, the FR-S is stripped down. You don't really get much. Its not worth 25K. $22-23K yeah with the bespoke included. Look at all the other scions, they are not as stripped down as the FR-S. At least start it low and let us add options...but Scion is stuck on its monospec and pure pricing. That is what is really killing the brand. Hopefully the FR-S will keep Scion alive. |

the BRZ might be worth 25K bc it does come with HIDs and a nicer interior |

-Ipod Usb/Aux -Pioneer Headunit -Bluetooth (2012 Models Standard) -Cloth Seats Only thing the FRS doesn't have is steering wheel controls. Their cars are monospec, because they want to keep the price low, and allow for several dealer installed accessories/parts. |

The subaru looks nice and tidy down the middle with the Digital climate control and push button start but the silver doesn't suit the car IMO. The Black / Carbon-esque trim on the scion looks more suiting (to me).

Really? 25K is a stretch when you consider the car with the rest of the Scion product line but I don't understand this its not enough car for 25k considering the Integra Type R was priced very closely and that was years ago so if you included inflation into everything the FRS isn't too bad
