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..
I agree. Right now I'm currently looking for my first NEW car that I want to be fun and performs well and looks as a bonus. I may not be gutting it out and going full race but I'd still like to take it to the track once and awhile and just have fun with it. I'm going to have this as my daily driver so I'd like to have those options just so when I go out I have amenities of a good looking nice car or else I'd just keep driving what I have because it's about on par with the interior with the Fr-S. I really hope they do have options I think many people are jumping the gun a bit I mean they haven't even announced price yet and people started complaining. If the Fr-S doesn't satisfy my needs I'll gladly go by the BRZ because its my first new car and I want it the way I want it but at the same time I'm not going to bash the Fr-S because that is also what many wanted just a base that has no fancy tie ins. The way I see it BRZ=High Spec, Fr-S=Low spec
