I don't see why the "purists" are mad at people who just want a well optioned (without going overboard), sporty, daily driver.

Initially I admit I was bitter because the car lost what the JDM 86 had (and I'm one of the ones who isn't as price focused as many-I'm expecting to spend 25-27 on the car). When that didn't happen I wasn't happy about it. However, if they offer the same as options then the fact that the base car is.. well base doesn't really mean much.

The problem is, we don't know if those options will exist. If they don't then we are basically being forced to go to Subaru IF we want those options without modifying the car.

I will modify the BRZ/FRS if I buy one, I just don't want to have to do so immediately to get what I want as the base platform.

As I said though, if those items are offered as options than Scion hasn't lost me as a potential buyer yet.. it'll come down to pricing. I know those reports of the FR-S being 30k are based on a cracksmoker.. but if they aren't.. well..
