Scion being looked at and marketed as a lower brand needing CPR, Toyota wanted to propel Scion sales too much. But the price is way too close to the BRZ, that most will opt of the BRZ because of options- HID, limited trim etc.
I would've bought the 86 over the BRZ but not the FRS over the BRZ. I'm probably not alone. ( 86>BRZ>FRS ) |
I totally agree. When I heard it was going to be a Scion I had a bad feeling, but was hoping for the best. Then I find out the FRS is a just a dolled up base 86 with a crap Scion head unit, no leather, no HID, no push button etc etc (I loved the 86 exactly how it was at the reveal, and yes toyota I would have liked to have the "option" to have that car as a loyal toyota owner, no one said you couldn't sell both trims). But I got over it after I saw the BRZ in person. The BRZ is everything I wanted minus some minor details. Now, I'm hearing the BRZ might be closer to the FRS in price. I hope it's true. Also, seeing how the FRS is a Scion I am quite sure a fully optioned one will cost close to what a fully loaded BRZ would be. Personally, I'm going for the BRZ. I'm sure some will go for the FRS and thats perfectly fine, but that pricing for a scion just doesn't seem right especially if these BRZ rumors are true. This just seems like a bad business decision on toyota's part. Just kill of scion already toyota, they're going to mess everything up.
