Let them haters hate! Many others are fine with it! Scion is a decent car brand, but others base their opinions on things that sometimes dont make sense. Just chill be cool and enjoy the forum. Don't be that guy that no one likes cuz he critisizes everyone lol.

good day

P.S. dont give us people from florida a bad name LOL

Fixed,

- As always, gauges? Where tahell are the gauges? Ans: IDIOT's lites & Y/N dials!
- No stupid PBS - loving the analog - stick the key in the hole start idea - how retro!
- Nice! - No ugly fender inserts. Who came up w/dumb idea on new cars anyway?
- Nice fender emblem and a vent? - simple, elegant, best of the 3.
- No ugly Subaru/Mazda style front bar - yea! Lic plate ruin the look.
- Easy to mod to brake ducts lower fascia.
- Best taillights! Just add LED bulbs everywhere for those edisons.
- Mono textured dash hides the 'cheapie and obvious' air bag panels of others.
- Give me steelies - as w/others, guess they got a special deal on ug wheels!
- Backseat screams 'dirt cheap' - but really it's only a flat floor shelf anyway.
- Emerg brake on my side - in the way - should be on pass side - dumb.
- Make mine $19,999 and I'm good.

>$22,000 is too much for this thing. I understand with a car like this, less is more, but there is only so much I'd pay for "less" car.

so what im saying is that the FR-S is the last straw. if this built from the ground up sports car cannot make scion into an "enthusiast brand" then nothing will. does scion need to be an enthusiast brand? imo, yes! sales are going down. the only thing it has going for it is low price and toyota reliability. that can only go so far with the rise of hyundai. they MUST use the FR-S as a catalyst to replace ALL of their models with FRESHLY styled models with modest performance and "fun to drive" character.

Amen.

Anyone in the USA pay $7.72 per gallon of gas as you call it?


So you get get a bit less spec, for a lot less money


For example RAV4 (using todays prices from toyota USA/UK website.)
in the USA from $22475 =£14,326.65
in the UK from £22870 = $35,877.41

so quite a difference for the same car?

You took Economics in high school right? 88,000 Toyotas were sold in the UK in 2010. 1,590,000 Toyotas were sold in the US in 2010. That means for every one car sold in the UK 18 cars were sold in the US. With a demand that high, how could you really expect to pay the same for a Toyota in the UK as we pay here in the US? :happy0180:

I can't even imagine the difference between our countries respective fuel consumption figures. Buy larger quantities and you save more per unit, don't you guys have Sam's Clubs over there in the UK?
