Monogram Series FR-S is official!
 

http://pressroom.scion.com/releases/...ies+frs+tc.htm

No more speculation!

dang, the whiteout color markup increased

That was the markup I paid for my 2014 whiteout. It must have increased for the 2014 yr models. :-(

No security system unless the Smart Key covers that?

i think mine was 220 for the 2013. toyota/scion has also since decreased the college grad discount down to 500 from 1000 (which i got as well).

this is another round of limited production cars. so this means for regular FRS owners, they still can't purchase the HID and other parts without showing proof of ownership? cuz when i bought the 10 series, i was told that only 10 series owners can purchase replacement parts from scion.

So, can we coerce a 10 series owner to buy something for you? LOL

Really? Rear seat center arm rest?! :lol:Did not realize anyone outside of Asia actually used the back seat for passengers.

There's a back seat in this car?! ROFL

So its an FRS w/ BRZ "guts?"

go buy a BRZ then

Scion Adds Luxury To FR-S With Monogram Series
 

http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...onogram-series

because front lights and bumper are totally different

that front bumper is horrible looking

Cool that people now have this option.

nice, 10 series owners get shafted...

What is the differences between this and the 10 series?

color choice
leather seats
heated mirrors
heated seats
spoiler
no glowing badges

cost a few hundred more @ msrp

My AT with BeSpoke, spoiler and trunk mat came in at $28k before tax, title and registration. For the Monogram to include so much more for only a few hundred dollars more... I REALLY only want the headlights and could care less about the frameless mirror, rear seat "armrest", heated side mirrors, push start or climate control that always has the fan running. The heated seats would be great during the winter but leather seats don't feel so great during our 100 degree summers here.

Since they already have my money (no loan) and your money it seems they just don't care about their customers. You can only buy parts if you can prove ownership of a specific model=total load of crap. So then you have to pay even more to get it off ebay.

Just blowing off steam here. Congrats to the 2000 lucky people who get one! On another note, my girlfriend is looking to get a new tC so maybe she'll be able to land a Monogram.

That's why I didn't bite on the 10 series. To be honest, I wouldn't bite on this either.

Notwithstanding I bought a 2014, I would wait til a SC or FI version comes out from either company, probably 2015-2016.

My questions is will the MG series owners be willing to buy headlights for the rest of us? Though right now Winjet looks like a pretty good alternative. I'm waiting to see the results of real world ownership on those.

I hear some people's winjets are fogging already. I wouldn't worry too much about the winjets as no one has really shown proof, but I'd still rest easier on OEM Monogram/10 Series headlights. If you can't get a monogram now, I'm sure next year they'll have another release series with the same damn things + other stuff.

Doesn't this one cost $27,400?

The 10 Series was $27,425 no?

How do they get shafted? 10 series owners paid for shiny badges, exclusive paint, and a few other things that all other previous FRSes didn't have.

People should enjoy what they have and not worry about what they didn't get had they waited six months longer. In most cases there will ALWAYS be something better on the horizon.

I sat in a 10 Series last month, it was pretty nice.

1 life cycle is one thing

6 months is another...

who wants the HID headlights? i can order them for you... :iono:

So you're saying that Scion should've excluded the FRS when they rolled out tenth anniversary vehicles across the entire lineup?

10 series was a 2013. Monogram is 2014. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a RS 1.0 later in the year as well.

If there's a demand they'll build them. They are a business you know, in it to make money.

At like $1k a piece right haha?

I suspect Scion knows exactly who the majority of the people who buy this car are, and that they will do anything at any cost to have the latest shiny thing.

Fog lights coming for 2015 muhaha. Leaning toward waiting for 2015 info at this point. These are welcomed additions though yet it's understandable that some are disappointed having purchased already (not brz limited owners) without these options. Like someone said,there will always be something out better etc it's just a matter of when the time to buy is right for you and what is available imo. Otherwise one could wait "forever".

Don't care for the fog lights - imho, a pair of lights that are going to get smashed (by road debris) or have more upkeep and do nothing for most part.

I see people with their foglights on and it drives me crazy and blind...

Still no baby blue option... not interested...

And this is why I went for a BRZ Limited. I know what it's like to not have all the new cool features. It's because of this reason that I got rid of my base model Gen Coupe. It's no fun seeing that everyone else's car has all the better features. The only thing that would actually make me envious at this point is if a new model releases with a nice bump in HP. By the time that happens I'll either decide to trade in if it's worth it or go FI.

Rear-seat center armrest, really? You think someone is actually going to sit back there and make use of it?

This car has $4000 of extra garbage that you can add aftermarket if you REALLY want it and cheaper.

Best thing this has is the Alcantara seats. That's it.

This is just like adding a trim level like the BRZ. I'm not seeing what's so special. You either want the extra goodies inside or save your money and get what you really want aftermarket. That was the whole reason I didn't buy a BRZ, actually. Pricier for a bunch of stuff on the inside.

I hope that they just left out (but the vehicle still has) the security system in the media release in the first post of this thread...

Scion FR-S & tC Monogram Series announced for Detroit
 

According to the owner's manual, all FR-S's have an anti-theft security system standard. But, the new owner has to follow the manual's activation procedure since it's off by default. Maybe Monogram takes it up a notch with a glass breakage sensor.

No it was listed as a feature this morning on Scion.com. This page has since been taken down it seems. But me aware that many Scion/Toyota dealers aren't aware that you have to activate it upon delivery, many 10 Series owners didn't have the Anti-theft activated (it wasn't even advertised) but its a feature of the Smart Key system, so they do have it.

Fair enough as your opinion - I just want the luxuries of the GT86 in North America. I don't view what they have added as garbage.

I factored in TTL and everything.

The difference in price is more along the $3k range I think. The first frs' were 25k with delivery fee included right? Since the monogram is 27400 without the delivery fee it would be about 28k with the fee. I personally would love the HIDs and the dual climate control knobs. Keyless/push button is nice and I wouldn't mind Leather seats because I'm always getting shocked coming out of my car because of the cloth seats.
