Now that TTL push the price over $25k I'll keep my WRX a little while longer and put the rest of what I had allotted for a down payment into my 260Z. I'll wait for a Release Series in a more interesting color, check what a used red one is going for at the same time, and get whichever of the two is best for me at the time.

Also, if Subaru really is pricing it at "about $25k", that'll be bad for Scion and their Pure Pricing once initial demand has equalized--we'll be able to talk a BRZ down below FR-S no-haggle prices...

Another also, I think it should be a Toyota. Yes, it's the same car no matter what badge is on it, but Scion is meant to be a gateway drug to get people into a Toyota dealer for their next new car. Where does one go in the Toyota lineup when they graduate from an FR-S? The only non-4-door car they sell is a Yaris... Maybe the FR-S will get so many ladies, your next car will need to be a Toyota Beigemobile, because all the action you've gotten means you now have 4 kids?
They want you to go to a lexus...a lexus LFA...oh wait they won't be making anymore of those by the time you graduate from the FR-S....hopefully there will be a Supra out by the time you graduate from the FR-S...but it will probably be a Scion SR-S (Supra RearDrive Sport) by the way Toyota is treating us North Americans....
