The FR-S front end > BRZ front end so....again don't see Scion getting hosed in any way here.

Trunk Liner? Really....

It's the sides that wear on seats, when you enter and exit your vehicle.
I'll go with bland over annoying anyday I've had cars with white factory gauges and hated them.

And no, the Premium is not the same seating material. The side bolsters are, the center section is not.

Scion lists the red accents as standard, so they'll be there.

I used to agree on the front end, until seeing both about 100 feet away from each other in person, lots of time to compare minute details and I lost all interest in the FR-S that day as a purchase.

I already agreed that they aren't getting f'd, or hosed, etc. Just that, IMO, the BRZ will sway the general public who shop by features and visual information only as many will find the accents and such to be less appealing than the BRZ premium's interior. That's my opinion of course, I haven't done a study on it

And the trunk liner was the heavy sarcasm part. People always reply to me with "And the trunk liner" since I always forget to include it so now I make sure I mention it.

Yes, the bolsters wear, but visually they are a smaller part of the seat so appearance wise, people will consider the whole seat, not just the bolster. Remember my points are aimed at the general public, not the people here who have been hard core into this car for a long time now.
