I believe scion will just offer a low spec FRS and if you want to upgrade it, you will need to go through TRD to match it to the high spec models in other countries.

I guess that is good but I just hope it will still be affordable.

This is a good point, Scion is all about customizability.

We will probably get a base price of 22-24k and you take do whatever you want with different packages,

OR

They'll take a note from Subaru and do a "base", "premium", and "limited"

Nope scion will load it to the hi-spec level. Think about what is in the tC.
Most people are gonna want hids, leather steering wheel, better seats, better looking dash, push button start, 17 or 18 inch rims...the tC comes with 18 inch rims and loaded with a sunroof for $19.3k.

We are gonna see a high spec 6 speed manual model with a radio for $24k. Thats the sweet spot. 5 grand more than a 6 speed manual tC.

I love it but this is "all show no go"
I would rather spend an extra $5k for a turbo version that looks
like its not fast but it is instead of paying extra $5k for something
that looks fast but it isn't.

Give me a freaking supercharger option!

I noticed on the first brochure it said, "other colors painted store (dealer)".

Does this mean we can order our FR-S's with custom colors?

Can you imagine the FR-S in Aston Martin's Quantum Silver?!

I only say this cause I'm a sucker for grey cars, and my tC is finished in Galactic Grey Mica.

I'm so excited for this car man I can't wait!!!

I hope this is spot on, but I can see this getting near the 30grand level if all those options make it to the US

I believe the grey offered is the same grey for the WRX which is a pretty nice dark grey

Think they mean that body kit is only offered in 3 colors from the factory and the rest of the colors will be on raw parts to be color matched at the dealer.
