Release Series
 
Anyone else gonna wait for it?

Ive got a strong feeling that they will release one in 1-2 years time with:
1. Push Button
2. Digital Hvac
3. LED Lights (unlikely)

Any other features you guys would like to see on the production model?

Fog lamps, leather seats, and heated/cooled seats, rear spoiler. Something along those lines. I could care less about push button start, I'm not lazy enough that I can't turn a key. Digital HVAC sounds cool though! :)

Probably crazy color with lip kit make over.

Proximity key with push start makes the car more convienent. No need to fumble for a key. Just walk up get in and push the button to start it.

Even hyundai's have promitity with push start.

A release series FR-S will have it. And maybe even the 2014 model year...for people who wait.

hIDs should have been standard....

Fog lights and a very nice color that I would take over asphalt, I don't understand push button start I enjoy turning the key.

Argent6978 01-16-2012 10:26 PM

I don't fumble for my key now! :) I have a separate key chain with just my car key and remote on it, it's always in my hand well before I get to my car. Yes, I admit, push start is neat, but, personally I don't need it. I'm not gonna say it shouldn't be an option though, I'd probably love it after having a car with it for a short while. LOL.

Its one of those things that you gotta experience first hand and long term to understand.

2 out of our 3 vehicles have it and its so handy. Makes it quite easy to re arrange our drive way with 1 set of keys :)

tripjammer 01-16-2012 10:38 PM

I know people who don't have the proximity with push start just don't understand how good it is. Oh well to each their own.

This and one of the optional TRD wheels as standard. Also some type of color matching on the interior....That's normally what the release series' are....or close to at least

More oomph, build quality improvements, reach/rake steering wheel if that isn't already standard, and better seats if standard ones aren't particularly supportive.
The rest I'm not bothered about.

On the Scion site they show the same JDM version but blacked out. Probably will be an option

If a release series basically brings a Euro specced GT86 over here, i'd be all over it.

Wonder what crazy colour they would use though?

miata 01-17-2012 12:05 AM

I have a feeling they will release Racing Yellow special edition next year.
Damn.... Do I wait a year or trade it in for a Yelllow one next year? Damn... I will be eternally envious if I don't get a Yellow one.
