Scion FR-S pricing found in website HTML?! (Update: Same as 2011 xD Pricing)
 

UPDATE: Turns out the pricing in the html are the same exact figures as the 2011 xD prices. Webmaster likely used that as a template for the pricing code in the FR-S website's html


Long time lurker, but that's not why you opened this thread... take a look at this!


Direct copy and paste from the View > Source of the Scion FRS page (http://www.scion.com/cars/FR-S/index.html):

Before I get too excited, I know they could easily come in and change those numbers with a few backspaces and a few number keys... but if that is the price of the FRS... :happyanim::happyanim::happyanim::happyanim::happy anim::happyanim:

:happy0180:

That price is impossible.

Place holder? Apple is notorious for doing things like that.

However, if that really was the price... I'd run over my own mother to get to the dealership.

I agree... but it's there...

Maybe a cruel joke by one of the web admins for Scion?

:happy0180::happy0180::happy0180::happy0180:

The web admins have shown to be a bit off (understatement) when it comes to FR-S info. That said, there is no way the FR-S will start lower than the tC, or even the iQ for that matter.

While I see that pricing being way too low, if it "is" the pricing that will be. What would that make the BRZ pricing? Speculate away!

i would NOT get excited.

A place holder to make the code easy to edit when the time comes. They could also be dropping hints without violating the embargo...

If that's true, I predict:
BRZ Premium = high 26k to low 27k
BRZ Limited = low to mid 28k

that looks pretty realistic. this would make the brz prem. at least 26k for the premium and probably 28k for the limited.

^Yeah, I edited my post with BRZ prices that agree w/ your predictions.

Believable and probably accurate; $25,840 makes it $10 more than the MX-5 Touring, however, only $910 less than the GC 3.8 R-Spec.

I'm really hoping it starts off a grand cheaper from these pricing speculations, maybe they'll release official prices soon? We know who manages the FR-S section of the site has made mistakes before..... Keeping my fingers crossed

@switchlanez This is very possible. Good Find!
