-2014 IS just around the corner
From what I have read the Bespoke touchscreen upgrade option in the FR-S is pretty crappy. If Scion makes that the standard unit, it may not really be viewed as an upgrade and you will most likely pay more.

Higher resale value is true, but it depends also how much the price goes up on the 14's and you also have to look at interest rates which are showing signs of creeping back up. On a $25K loan for instance, 1% point on interest is about 11 per month difference. Across 60 months that is close to $700 more in payments.

And right around the corner could easily be 4-6+ months for folks depending on where you live and allocation. That said, if you wait you might score a better deal on a 2013 and Toyota may offer finance incentives on the 13 models to help clear them out.

Just depends on how long one can wait to buy. If 4-6+ months is not a long wait then go for it. But it is not like you are going to get a drastically different car by waiting and that is 4-6+ months you wont be driving the FR-S
