I just hope that the FR-S is way lighter. We have not seen the official curb weight yet.

But I can see what Scion is trying to do, have the cheapest of the 3 AS1 cars...if you look at it that way, it works.
To some people HIDs and Nav won't be worth $1300. I'm just worried that the Scion is still too expensive. I would've felt better if the Scion was a lot cheaper and maybe didn't have an LSD standard and made some other things optional. I just wonder whether people will be willing to spend 25k on a Scion. I don't think sales will be great at that price. I don't want to start another flame war but it would make more sense to me if they sold it as a Toyota with different trim levels, or if they wanted to make it a Scion have it be totally base and maybe 22k instead of 25.
