Oh...well then..Monogram would be a nice option... but if both had the same rear spoiler...boo... should have stuck with the TRD one.

Personally, I'd be after an early 13, but if you are into more of the flashy things, like others have said, go monogram.
The shark-fin is more of a sale tactic than anything. At first I despised the rod antenna, but now time has made it original, and I appreciate it. Also, the dash panel change on the 15 is just, vacuous. They have taken a panel that previously matched patterns on the interior and exterior as well as having design meaning of the Toyota "t" and changed it to a imitation carbon fiber. Given the limited number of monograms, if you found one that matched your color and transmission you should move on it. |

The Toyota Dealer near me in Houston has six 2013 base FRS in stock. I am sure most dealers would negotiate on a 2013 model and you could add the features you really want at a lower cost.

I wonder how many Monograms are still available? Especially one with a manual transmission.

was trolling...but let's face it. the car is modifiable so why not just get the bone stock 2015? I heard they made the car a bit more rigid and a few things here and there. Monogram is just about the looks. It weighs more because of the heated seats and all the tiny little accessories.

Too bad you don't live where I live...my dealership got 7 Monograms and 5 are still on the lot... 2 automatics 3 manuals. The Ultramarine they have is an Automatic though.
Definitely go with the Monogram though, like everyone stated.

Also, I'm thinking that it would be cheaper to buy a Monogram and switch over the MY15 stuff than it would be to do it the other way around. |

Monogram all the way. The dealership I went to found a monogram at a different dealership nearby sitting on the lot and they picked it up for me.

Definitely monogram. Not worth getting a 2015 if you have to lose the monogram's features AND pay another $1k.

If you can afford a monogram don't even think twice and get a monogram lol. You will regret it if you don't.
