2015 vs. 2016 Dimensions
 

Hello good people of FT86CLUB.

I'm finally looking to take the plunge and make my first car purchase, and it obviously had to be the FRS. I would like to think I know quite a lot about the car, but I spotted something odd on the 2015 vs. 2016 brochure (attachment) and would like to ask everyone here for clarification.

The height dimensions shows the '16 is taller than the 15' by over 10 cm (4 inches). Needless to say, that is a huge discrepancy for a car that is supposedly left unchanged throughout the years.

Anybody know why? Thanks in advance!

Your attachment did not go in correctly.

I highly doubt that the car is 10cm taller. Why not swing by a dealership and compare the two?


EDIT: Here is Scion Canada's dimensions
http://www.scion.ca/scion/en/vehicle...ons/dimensions

Scion's website has the 2016 height at 50.6", which is exactly the same as their listed height for the 2015. Probably a typo in your brochure.

So my question is this if the 2016 FR-S is 4 inches higher than the 2015 model would it be a deal breaker for you ?

BTW the car hasn't changed.

The 2016 is Tundra-based.

FR-S TRD Baja Pre-runner edition!

frs offroad edition

derp peder!

The 2016 has a new standard shark fin antenna that is about 4 inches taller than the 2015s.

My dad works at Scion he told me.

which should not be confused with the Beat Sonic Blaid antenna

AWD highboy!!

That's with the optional off-road package.

He said it first.

Correction: HE said it first.

Doesn't 2015 FR-S have shark fin antenna too? :iono:
Or is 2015 one 4" tall and 2016 one is 8" tall?
Confused...

Everyone wanted turbo. Some even wanted AWD.

This is what you got, 4" more.

#thatswhatshesaid

loll oops.

Yeah that guy is wrong - my 2015 has a shark fin on it and the 2016 has the exact same one.

why not sue for false advertisement? yea its wrong of one to do so, but you could make a case and settle!

i have a shark fin antenna on my 2015, comes stock like so.... and deff doesnt add 4in... if anything it decreases 4in bc of the huge antenna on the 13/14 models

Errors are not "False Advertisement". Besides I bet there is a disclaimer in fine print that says something like "All items may not be exactly as described"

truuuueeee... but toyora doesnt mess up, come on.... *wink wink*

AHHHH but the printer does!
Someplace on here there are pics of a Subaru brochure that clearly labels the BRZ as AWD!

WHA! thats kinda funny

It was some dealer material and they just slapped AWD over the picture of each car. Caused all sorts of rumours. Doubt I can find it since I think it was buried in the middle of one of the huge speculation threads.

No, it was a misprint for the year. The 2017's are AWD And turbo for Subaru. For Scion, the base Spec will be FWD and the top trim will be a mid engine, rear whee drive.

Damn it. I refuse to buy Subaru because of the low quality. That was why I went Scion in the first place.

Yeah I was just keeping quiet...is any one here aware how ridiculous a 4 inch shark fin antenna would look?

Is anyone aware of how long 4 inches is, in general?

I'd imagine most guys on this forum are painfully aware of how long 4 inches is.

4 inches more? Maybe they put Viagra in the tank

4 inches is the 200hp of celery

So, in summary:
