You weren't aware of the new fandangled Green Eco mode? Powered by humans? :P

Watching these Scion videos really annoy me. Their whole corporate advertising mentality just seems so fake. You've got these middle aged executives that are obviously not enthusiast up on stage rambling on about how much they're into drifting, initial d, or whatever else the cool kids are into these days and they aren't fooling anybody.

Yes Scion supports racing but if you're the VP of marketing and can't even change your own tire, don't come out on the stage pretending to be some super enthusiast who's going to be dorriftoing the FR-S around every corner. We can see through your BS and it makes me want to spend my money somewhere else as opposed to supporting your crap.

I like how Subaru does it. Show me the car, a pretty girl, give me the stats and then shut the hell up.

Lost in translation....in the UK that basically reads like your driving on the sidewalk :D

Want more info on this 600bhp engine :party0030:

Of course. But at least Cosworth has seen the car and knows it exists and could be interested to make something for the production car.

Just like I figured the FD car looks lame. Wide fronts and rear overs when the car is running anything but aggressive fitment to begin with. Obviously not gonna be a factory piece cause having rear overs requires cutting and other modifications to the stock quarter panels and I doubt very many people will go for it...besides, it looks like shit on this car.

Im waiting for price before I decide whether or not to pull the trigger. Not gonna sell off the current ride and stuff just to find out that the car is way overpriced. Hopefully the BRZ wont pass 24k meaning the Scion will hopefully sit around 21-22.

So your conclusion is that of all the FR-S owners and BRZ owners that NO one will EVER put on a fender flares or wide body for track use?

Actually, yes. I've been commuting exclusively on a motorcycle for the past two and a half years and have been waiting patiently for a car to come along that was worth buying. So far Toyota has managed to pique my interest for what, over a year?, but if they continue to slowly drag out the key information needed for any normal person to make a buying (more like waiting) decision, I'll just have to take the money I've been saving elsewhere. If they are out there listening to what has been said here, they should see how important that information is to the car's biggest fans. Enough with the hype and marketing ploys, we obviously like the car, just tell us how much it is already! Quit baiting the hook if you're not willing to reel us in.

You could have bought a $5k dollar cheap vehicle to get you from point A to point B. You act like it's Toyota's fault for the industry not providing you with a car just as good as the one they are coming out with, appears to be.

Keep it real bro...you have no one to complain about except for yourself. You make your own sacrifices...don't start complaining about it.

The BRZ premium is basically a FRS with HIDs...Now I can see why the BRZ limited is going to list about $3k more...

Since the FR-S now has the navigation system...i will up my estimated price to:

FRS $23k (Pioneer Bespoke aka NAV)
BRZ premium $24k (HIDs, Nav)
BRZ Limited $27K (adds DualZone AC, proximity Push Start, Wing, Leather\Alcantara, Heated seats and mirrors, fogs)

The FRS Nav is most likely an optional piece. Since they posted the standard radio equipped one first.
