-Auto/Dual Zone Climate Controls with Display
-Keyless Entry and Start
-Premium Anti-Theft Security System
-Rear Spoiler (Do not want)
-Trunk Liner
And for another $250 Subaru offers an Auto-Dim Mirror with Compass and HomeLink.
That's almost too good of a deal to pass up! I really wish Scion would get off their low horse and offer the same options or trim Toyota offers everywhere else in the world and that their competitor Subaru offers for only a little more money! Not to mention the possibility of negotiating a lower price with Subaru dealers vs. Scion's pure-price fix. Sigh... what to do?  |
I know you were in the Scion vs Toyota thread, you saw my posts and stance lol.
Personally, yes the BRZ is the better deal but I'm Toyota fan through and through so I won't go that route. If you don't have loyalty to a badge and you like features, then the BRZ is the current route to go.
As others have mentioned, it's going to be a wait for the Subaru though. If you're willing to wait, do so, you'll only end up regretting settling for less than what you wanted in the end otherwise.
Shameless plug: Also, if you're willing to wait, might as well message Toyota that you want to see those options as you know they're available in other parts of the world. They do take what their customers say into account. Head over to Toyota.com, Toyota.ca, Scion.com, Scion.ca and use their "Contact Us" buttons at the bottom of their pages, in small print, and let them know. Be heard.
