Rules/Guideline still follow, but keep it somewhat respectful. Don't forget, they don't really have to answer any of it. I'm not saying kiss asses, but show FT86Club members are mature and get us like by Scions!

Sadly, "Ask Scion USA" due date got to be shorter than Tada-san. Due date is December 9th (til I hit the bed)... only got 4 days left!!!!!

If you guys can be kind, if you can separate questions by putting "To Scion" or "To Tada-san" before asking questions?

Thanks!
Oh, sweet! I've been meaning to e-mail them anyway. Once again, it's more of a suggestion but a very important one.

To Scion:

Pleeeeeeaaaase offer for model year 2014:

Standard features:
HID/LED headlamps! - manual leveling (looks much better, more brightness, lower energy, longer life)
Heated side mirrors (so we can use them when it's foggy/frosty)
Red stitched leather e-brake/boot (looks and feels so much better)
Trunk liner (looks cleaner, sounds quieter)

Optional features:
Fog lights! (should be coming?)
Integrated GPS navigation/phone/SiriusXM radio! (SD card slot, maintenance calendar, detailed fuel economy info like miles until empty and actual tire pressures would be nice!)
Backup camera
HomeLink mirror
Full underbody aerodynamic panels

Would be nice:
Red stitched leather/Alcantara seats (like BRZ Limited)
Red stitched leather knee pads

I believe this will make it easier to compete against the BRZ Premium, which comes with many more standard features for only marginally more costs, it will help satisfy the Americans who wanted the Toyota 86 styling and luxuries, and will increase the value of this car at around the $25000 price point. Thank you!

BTW, if you need help to test/design a good navigation unit, contact me.

Oh, and as a separate question:

"Will you be offering the Michelin Primacy HP tires again or are you sticking with the Bridgestone all seasons?"

Thanks Ichitaka! Nothing is cooler than a large company that actually listens and responds to its customers!
