And I'm torn on the Area 86 issue. On the one hand, it's a freakin' awesome concept, to have a place to go to discuss parts, performance, and race events solely for the 86. But on the other... do you really want to see how Scion would handle this? <shudder>

Check my first post above with the edit...

Yup. They had two GT's (red and the white TRD), and one GT-Limited (orange).

That spoiler I don't care for, but seeing as how I'm looking for one to put on mine anyway, maybe I could get the holes to line up. Moot point anyway, since we don't get the GT-Limited... we get the monospec FR-S. <sigh>

In reality the FR-S is a bit overpriced. Why? Look at the BRZ premium. It is only $1300 more and you get HIDS, Better Seats, and a "REAL" navigation system.

Actually only $3000 more than the FR-S gets the the BRZ limited which has everything. Actually kinda worth it. I admit the FR-S does look better than the BRZ, but those FR-S cheap looking halogen headlights....damn you Scion.

Actually I think there needs to be a even more stripped down version of the FR-S\BRZ, you know the one with the 16 inch steelies and no LSD and no AC. Let you add these as options if you want it.

To make the FR-S the deal of the century it really needed the HIDs as standard. Those are going to be a biotch to add later. AC is AC, sure the FR-S and BRZ premium AC looks like crap but it will not be worth it to try to add it using parts, unless its a plug and place replacement. Proximity\Push start will be easy to add, there are some aftermarket systems that use Toyota parts that sell for only $300. Custom covering the seats won't be too expensive either. But you will do none of this if you are leasing the car...so....

Damn you Scion!

But yeah I still love the FR-S for what it is (especially in whiteout!) But a black BRZ limited is probably what I am gonna go with.
