You guys are completely hopeless.
Crappy rice products? What a hell are you doing on a forum which is all about a car that will be modified in many different ways?!?! The whole SCION brand is all about MODS MODS MODS already from the factory or third paties.

TRD coilover set, shocks and struts,lowering springs, sway bar set, strut bar, quickshifter, performance exhaust and air filter, TRD big brake kit... these are all form < function accessories. Not race inspired cosmetic enhancements (RICE)
ALL available when you buy the car. Overpriced? Sure you can get an ebay strut bar third of the price and sway bar set a little bit cheaper but they don't have toyota warranty.

As I already said; premium head unit is available from scion for less than $500. Fog lights are also available for every scion. The only thing thats missing is the fancy dual zone AC... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM; "the interior is FU:mad0260:ED up and shitty as hell" LOL!

Put it this way: Toyota, Subaru will include some other head unit and foglights.... the car will cost $1000 more because of these products.
Scion does not include these in the FRS but you can get them for extra money that might bump up the scion's price right back up OR (!!!!) you can buy the car with the cheap stuff and buy cheaper (3rd party) fogs and much better NAVI system and still have some money left for some rope to hang yourself because you got no dualzone AC, and no heat for your ballz

I really hope the people at Toyota/Scion reads this forum/thread and consider changing the A/C controls back to the ones shown in Japan.
I am really disappointed in the cheap interior/crappy A/C controls/radio/ and the push button start.

I agree...people who want that stuff will not buy it later. It's too expensive. Scion knows people are pissed. They know what they showed looked like crap. They will probably go with two trim models.
What they showed was Toyota 86 equivalent low-spec. What we saw in tokoyo was equivalent high-spec.

Scion can still make it right...but if not...BRZ will roll.

I was hoping the car comes without headunit, and A/C, and offers manual windows.

Dealer WONT void your car's warranty because you modify it!
If you install a japan spec headlight and your sunroof brakes down or your transmission falls apart you think they gonna fix that under warranty?
Whatever you modify you lose the warranty on that part. Thats it.

uhm... other people are whining about HIDS when you can get one for $50?!?! I didn't know you guys need HID and dual zone ac and ballz heater in a enthusiast driver's car....


JUST LETTING EVERYONE KNOW ( since most of you have no clue about this brand) that SCION will roll out a "Release Series" edition (in the first year after the model finally comes out) that will have extra stuff for more money. e.g.: Scion tC RS7 came out with different color, TRD lip kit, push start button ( keyless entry) and some other minor things.

just sayin' before most of you comes back crying that this is BS... you already bought a car and now this ones rolls out

Plus bring back the red stitching on the center console and the leather in the doors and the better looking seats. Just saying...

Hey for a stripped down road racer the scion is good. I got to admit that but the interior of the BRZ and 86 is worlds better than the frs.

When they said low spec...I did not know it meant low spec...but hey maybe the price will be good. I will keep an open mind. But I am gonna still complain. Why come we can't get the best at least as an option?

Sure... if you like to pay interest on your ballz heater and uber awesome headunit....

I remember when i bought my scion ( OMG YESSSS I HAVE A SCION, NOW IT MAKES SENSE!) the lady who was selling the car to me told me not to get extra stuff. Basically I'm just raping myself if i do that. Buy the lowspec car without anything and then come back and get all the extra stuff and i dont have to pay interest on a $20.000 car (vs the $18k)

Thats too much. I love the AUTO windows (uhm... tell me 1 subaru that comes with both window full auto up and down)

But it would be really awesome if i could get the car without headunit and nice wheels. Since i already have wheels and the headunit. It would be awesome to save $500 this way. :w00t:

I was a bit extreme about the manual window part. Don't think my gf would love that idea lol

:bonk:

Lol! The frs is almost that stripped...the head unit is probabły only worth $50. I would rather their be a radio delete option. Just a about every car has ac and power windows and locks.

That's the thing, you'd think they'd have a base one and one "with options" (besides the auto I mean). Or at least on their website show one with some other options. I bet none of this back and forth would have happened if they had done that.

Some of us actually want to buy the car soon and I'd going Scion if I *knew* I could get what I wanted.. but I don't.. so I can't go put a deposit down. So instead I either have to just do so at Subaru, or do so at both and take back one of the deposits later. Or I can wait until January and *hope* that they'll actually release real information, specs, etc at that time unlike what they've done at TMS which was really just letting us get videos and close up pics of the JDM model cars... nice, but that's not specs, options, pricing, etc.

Your cool. The manual windows in my 1990 Miata still work like a champ!
