There is a joke somewhere in here about Canadian's having better taste. But then I remembered this guy:

I have said before and still believe Canada and the USA will have the same seats, with the red accents. The part numbers are the same, the pictures were preproduction/photoshopped for the Canadian website and mistakes were made/information wasn't 100% correct.

Once it shows up at your dealer, you'll see the red ;).

(Or if they use actual pictures on the Scion.ca website soon)

They Scion rep that I talked to was very firm about the no red. :iono:

Well you've got colHolm (who works for Toyota Canada, IIRC), and myself who has access to the parts catalog as well saying that it's going to have the red, versus some guy at a car show.

Meh. I don't put much faith in the information "reps" have at car shows.

He seemed to be just the FR-S's 'handler' and was filling in and correcting the local sales guys about the details. Like I said, he was very firm about it.


I'm crossing my fingers for all black...

I was at the VIP event in Toronto.

Sorry but whats confusing on the video i posted? i didnt think it was vague at all regarding Red stiching.

Maybe things have changed but the official word was no red stitching.

Respect the word of the ALL MIGHTY colHolm!

Yes on the auto, no on the manual.

One factor suggesting that the seats will be all-black is that those photos of black seats have been up at Scion.ca for weeks now. If this was an error, surely Scion folks would have caught and fixed it by now. When they accidentally posted the price a few days in advance of the public release they had it down within a day or two.

Eh the black stitching doesnt bother me at all (my car has black stitching...(actually its more dark grey than black) on the leather wrapped wheel and shift boot)
I just like the color contrast the stitching gives to th interior. breaks up the monochrome blackness of a black interior. Its how i like having some silver colored trim here and there as long as it doesnt look like an out of place tacked on piece of crap.
and my seats have dark blue colored inserts :P
