if they annouce the price today, do you think the car will be released/sold
in March then? My gut keeps telling me June for some reason, but I don't think they'd annouce the price 5 months ahead, my guessing is their strategy would be...
1) annouce price today (assuming their plans are already set in stone with options)--> sell in April

or

2) show options today and get a feel for our reactions(see if we hate/love what they offer)-->annouce price in March--> sell in June

HID's huh? I thought the FR-S wasn't coming with HID's... or is this another option? Forgive my ignorance but I've never owned or built anything from scion.

Subaru BRZ will go on-sale in May according to their internal marketing site.

Those could be halogen projectors, they're definitely not the same headlights as we've seen on the GT-86.

According to Scion homepage the car under the cover is the 2012 car for Drift Challenge with 600 hp :party0030:

Projectors != HIDs. Projectors can be HID or Halogen.

Considering the time gap between the GT86 announcement in Tokyo and the release of official pricing information on January 4th, I'm not getting my hopes up for pricing today.

Yeah I know they suck...the point was to have HIDs that were OEM.

We want the Nur version, or another body kit, but instead they hide a version we are never going to get.

Taunting us :sigh:

You only really have to replace the bulbs when they go out...but yeah if the whole unit goes out it is expensive.
