FR-S center stack
 
I really don't like the photos I've seen of the F-RS center stack:

The three staggered knobs look pretty cheap.

I like what I've seen of the BRZ stack better. I think this might only be in the Limited trim:

Is Scion going to have an option that will include this improved center stack?

abcsmaj 02-25-2012 12:20 PM

I completely agree, but apparently Scion will have multiple options for the head unit (BeSpoke), so maybe they'll have options for the stack as well.

Buggy51 02-25-2012 12:53 PM

Its unlikely that Scion will have an option for the stack. The Limited BRZ HVAC controls are used with the auto AC and has that Push-Start button. Since Scion isn't offering auto-AC nor the push-button (from the information gathered on Scion's site and the net), and the fact that they only have monospec production cars its unlikely that it'll be an option :/

Only the head unit may be interchangeable (for the BeSpoke unit, there might be a chance its already included)

KidWonder 02-25-2012 12:55 PM

That center stack will be available on the Premium BRZ also.

Scion will not offer an improved center stack.

If you want the interior of the BRZ, pay an extra 2k over the price of an FRS.

Ryuu0u 02-25-2012 01:09 PM

lol this again

Ladnerd 02-25-2012 01:12 PM

I like the FRS stack . its simple and it works. Looks easier to use at a glance.

pete66 02-25-2012 01:23 PM

frs looks like poo

This.

And it's totally worth it in every way.

Don't you mean 4k over the FRS? The dual HVAC is only offered on the BRZ Limited.

Henwee 02-25-2012 01:47 PM

I would like to think the center unit will be revised or up-gradable in the cars mid life/facelift cycle. Similar to how VW MK5 revised from a switch to a knob for the AC unit.

yes, and in the MK6 version those knobs were revised again.

OP is an obvious troll. I mean how much more generic can a username/profile be? He has enough internet savvy to find and attach those photos, but doesn't know the answer to his question?

I bet it's an existing member making multiple accounts to start these threads that the forum has been bombarded with lately. They all seem to be the same, just registered and first post is starting a thread to ask something that has been cover a number of times.

Nope. I haven't been on the forum before, and couldn't find what I wanted via search so I registered and posted. Thanks for the warm welcome.

It is kind of funny, though, how agitated everyone is over this question :)

Maybe its getting harder for people to search for things because new comers, such as yourself, jump the gun and start another thread that has been covered before. This place is being cluttered with useless threads. :facepalm:

Also take out the red stitching...its supposedly not going to be included in the FR-S.

No, I'm pretty sure dual HVAC will be available on the Premium BRZ as standard equipment.

Something has seperate the FRS and Premium BRZ other than a badge and different fascia.

if you've searched around, the premium spec BRZ has the standard 3 knob setup like the FRS. Only the BRZ Limited will get the Dual HVAC/toggle switches.

And you'd be surprised at how much better the standard interior looks with a touch screen display as opposed to that terrible looking scion headunit.

Nope. Only limited. Guess you haven't checked out the BRZ that much.

That's odd, so why would anyone buy a Premium BRZ over an FRS. Are they're any other differences like seats or dash, besides a front fascia.

Thanks for the heads up Guys.

No, it is confirmed that the Premium BRZ doesn't have Dual HVAC. Premium has standard Nav.

Plus premium gets HID and better seat material.

OrbitalEllipses 02-25-2012 06:26 PM

And it's not a Scion.

Buggy51 02-25-2012 07:01 PM

^And if you prefer the front fascia of the Subaru.

Otherwise... there's really not much of a difference.

MF_DEUCE 02-25-2012 07:05 PM

FRS has different damper/spring set up versus the BRZ.

Buggy51 02-25-2012 07:05 PM

Oh BRZ comes in WRB while FRS has the ... Orange I forgot what they called it.

incorrect. The auto climate and dual zones are part of the limited package only. It remains to be seen whether it will be a stand alone option on the premium, but my guess would be no. On the brochure from my dealer it lists an auto trans as the only option.

HIDs & a touch screen nav unit plus the fascia and badges will distinguish the 2 cars.

pete66 02-25-2012 08:39 PM

gimme the better one. $10

Hater Orange!

fistpoint 02-25-2012 08:44 PM

Agree.

I'd like to get the Sub interior and the Scion exterior(don't care for the BRZ front bumper).

Enemies 02-25-2012 08:49 PM

I don't really think the Nav is a big selling point. I would personally rather get my own aftermarket one installed rather than pay a premium for what they decide to put in it.

Lol, exactly.

Stop complaining and decide. It amazes me people put so much emphasis on the placement of 3 knobs...enough to the point where they consider dropping an extra 2k which could easily throw on an exhaust and some coilovers...

Future 02-25-2012 09:54 PM

This thread sucks.

Oh and btw... @ "pay an extra 2k" ... wtf you guys have the official pricing sheets and didn't share it?!

daphaze1 02-26-2012 12:04 AM

GT-86/BRZ limited with the center stack is nice! OMG I trolled =D


The way I see it is cause some of us are die hard Toyota fans now are shifting to Subaru. I perfer to stay with the same dealer and same salesperson and same service group but Toyota probably doesn't like us.

And btw, bashing is so next week or next next week when the prices come out. Someone going to get hurt...

pricing for the subaru is expected to be higher, no rocket science going on here

tripjammer 02-26-2012 11:38 AM

Nobody really knows how much more the Subaru BRZ premium is going to cost over the FRS. Rumor is $24k for the premium BRZ.

My Toyota/Scion dealership consolidated personnel and no longer has distinct salespersons, so it's my regular Toyota guy for me...just depends on the dealership I guess
