10 series FR-S or BRZ?

If you had to pick between a 10 series FR-S or a BRZ. What would you get?

Which dealer is allowing you to do a direct trade? lol

The series 10 will probably keep its value more, and you get a glow in the dark shift knob.

Series 10 is a 2013 MY. The 2014 MY manufacturing isn't starting until Aug.

The 10 series doesn't really appeal to me much but like @campy said it will hold its value better. I'd rather have a brz though

The Series 10 is just like any other Scion it won't keep it's value vs any other FR-S. Scion is making 2,500 of them and unlike the release series Scion's they won't be giving them a numbered badge.

The bottom line is which car do you want the Series 10 or the BRZ as your the one who has to be happy with it.

The release series is the most absurd thing ever. Seriously, a glow in the dark shifter?

I love how the assumption is that I am selling or trading my current car due to remorse, lol.

I was under the impression it was a MY 2014. Most media I have read stated 2014.

I have concerns about the glowing effects and the exterior color myself. The 10 series is being considered solely because of its perceived value. IE the equipment usually reserved for the BRZ, plus the exclusivity of the car. Otherwise it would be an easy pick, the BRZ.

I thought it was 2,500 10 series cars, not 10 series FR-S's.

Between the 5 cars that would mean 500 FR-S's, probably 250 Manual 250 Auto.

So I would say that it would be a relatively rare car, and thanks to the things that it has that the regular FR-S doesn't have, I'm sure it will increase the value.

It's 10,000 10 series cars, of which 2,500 are the FR-S. Still very rare considering how fast these cars are selling.

No I said Scion is making 2,500 series 10 FR-S's there's a total of 10K cars being made for the 10th anniversary.

xB 2,100
iQ 900
FR-S 2,500
tC 3,500
xD 1,000

Total of 10.000
