Scion College Grad Program offers $1,000 rebate, while
Subaru College Grad Program offers $500 or cheaper financing (2.9 or 3.6 depending on duration)

How does this work?

Scion needs to have the bespoke standard to make this somewhat a good deal. Hids should have been standard too since they are in the $22k mustang.

As cool as bespoke is, I seriously doubt it will match the new GC touch screen in the 2013. The software layout is so simple and clean, honestly it ravages the BMW I drive that I've been playing with.

None of this stuff is going to make or break my buying decision, driving experience comes first, but all the little extras are impressive. We've never had the r-spec suspension in Canada, should be interesting.

so the teens who want to "drift mad yo!" won't find this car as easily accessible as they thought

do what I did when I was a teenager, get a job, work for this if you really want it.

all things in life worth having are worth working for.

If I save every dollar for 1 year, I'll have 6,192$. (After Taxes)

It's going to take a long time to get the FR-S, if you work at Burger King like me. Haha

Noticed that too. Not sure I care too much about fog lights, but maybe this means the frs might come with some things standard or at least as options--won't be only completely barebones.

True, however amount of people who want to seriously buy this car is actually lower than it might seem. Just check how many folks will use this price bump as an excuse not to get it. I guess to each his own

I'm sure I missed this somewhere in the previous 28 pages but $24200 isn't even the price. Scion website is live at $24930

60 month @ 1.79, a 25K loan is $436. 24K, it reduced to $418 and 23K, it was $401. Most credit unions offer 72 month loans so that's why I didn't count them out.

Holy......

Is this what we are expected to pay then /month?

Depends on your credit score and what kind of loan you take out (APR, length of the loan and the amount for the loan). Amount of the loan will be influences by your trade in and any cash downpayment you put on the car.

get envolved with your local credit union and look for special accounts that will allow your money to grow

Mine has one called a "money market" account and how it works is it takes a bare minium of $2500 and with that it will increase by a small percentage (debending on how much i put in) everyday and it achieves a payout at the end of each month. while it's not alot, it is something. and when it accumulate a certain amount, i open a Certificate of Deposit which grows more money for em to re-deposit back into the money market account, it's a slow process, but it assures me that what money i have grows at a frequent/steady pace.

there are ways to make money, you just have to do your homework

Interesting viewpoint and I think you are right. It probably has filtered out some of the undecided.
