That color shift is the one annoying thing about S2K projectors. Many people love that, it's the one thing I wish I could have changed regarding my S2000's lights. The output pattern and lumens was fantastic, but the stupid cutoff color shift was obnoxious.

No. :)

Thanks for the pics Hatchi. Now all I need is pricing and options, then my day will be perfect.

Pretty sure Hachi will post them up on page 1 in his initial post. I hear Admins have that kind of power.

THIS!!!

I'd agree with this. I don't see HIDs as an actual need and I would buy the car without HIDs if I didn't have an option to get them. Having the option, I would certainly get them though.

I'd almost put HID in the "need" category. After having them on my car versus the regular halogen reflector headlights I never want to go back.

Hey I'm all for having them, don't get me wrong. Just getting annoyed with the Up in Arms people posting about HID's and Push-starts. It's just becoming a record player lately.

You don't say? :D

LOL you funny bro!

Actually we still use Twitter. Google+ is good but Twitter is where its at when posting something quick while you are driving in your car.

:bonk:

Thanks for the pics! Really hoping to hear pricing...

So I have a question.. Will it have push button start HIDs? :D

OH YEAHHH

I'm a techie too, but don't use Twitter. Something about "following" someone just doesn't sit right with me. I see nothing but celebrities on Twitter, and it sorta turns me off.

And heated seats :) Dragon loves those too :P

lol I feel like social websites like that should have like 1 or 2 syllables. Not 3, makes it feel longer to say :bonk:

ANYWAYS

anyone know if they will be streaming anything live?

HID map lights...**crosses fingers**

lol I can't even imagine how annoying that would be.

+10000

It's far easier to track updates with g+ pages, because so few people use it! I follow the Scion FR-S page on both fb and g+.

I know HIDS should be standard on all cars..especially those that cost over $22k.

They are not that expensive for the manufacturers to add...but the biXenon ones with the autoleveling are more expensive.

You can get decent aftermarket conversion kits for less than $100 including the bulbs and ballast.

But this is basic HID stuff...not the awesome OEM stuff which is what I would want. But hey even the $100 PnP stuff is better than the stock halogens.

That looks horrid. Just like Ford's new focus with the ugly ashton martin look in the front. What the hell.

I agree~

I already get blinded from people who can't level their HIDs correctly and Bro-trucks lighing up my entire car with their lights... I need less of that. lol

Your right about that for a page...let me hit up the Scion FR-S page on G+.

:bellyroll:

Getting my gun now...lol. It's funny, my Z had everything (aside from push-start) that is mentioned here, and I would have preferred to have the Base model, if I were to buy another one.

I had the Touring Ed. 350z.

I think it all comes down to your needs for the car. For me, I just want it as a nice fun daily driver and am fine with the extra luxuries. I have a DE car and a race car, I don't need the FT86 variant (whichever I get) to be barebones. If I were building it as a DE car, or TT car, or race car I'd want it as base and cheap as possible.

There is like 9 people following the FT-86 club page on G+ too.

i dont want a conversion.. i like stock headlights, plus i love how stong they are, if i can get them at a later date ill be happy with that too and just sell the stock halogens

You got ripped off. Its just a HID bulb. You can get good ones for like $40 a pair. HID bulbs are cheap to replace and they will last at least 3 to 4 years...maybe longer. On my 8 year old 350Z I have replaced them once. Cost me $45. It is kind of a biotch to replace the bulbs on a 350z though but it is doable.

The car under the cover, could possibly be a stripped down 'track' model.

I'm assuming he meant the entire housing, not just the bulb.

I actually quite like the new Fusion - it certainly looks much better than both of the traditionally best sellers in the segment (Accord/Camry) and i like the aggressive styling better than the swoopy design of the Sonata. The front end looks less Aston Martin to me and more gaping-frowning-fish-mouth.

:thumbup: Those PNP conversions SUCK. We used one of the new digital ballast ones for the race car. I think they ended up in the trash can.

ha. i'm not a MINI owner, just something i know from MINI owners. I should clarify: i'm talking about Xenon units, not HID bulbs. big difference.

So a little over an hour left until they pull the sheet back :happyanim:

I'm looking for a Daily as well. Maybe it was just the Z's heated leather seats that would set your arse on fire that I had a problem with...lol. I don't like Leather by any means though.

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.

Round of beer says it'll be released in May. :happy0180:

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