One small piece of info does not a debut make.

Absolutely. Marginally better than nil though ;-)
Has anything else come out of today? I couldn't give a toss about the fancy social-satnav/ICE in the FR-S and I didn't see anything else in the blurb that was new about it.

That's actually a splitter, and the front bumper is either aftermarket or has been extended downward by about an inch, inch and a half,

i'm right there with you. i need to commit to something, and especially with the refreshed genny coupe, and the probable overpricing/price gouging on the BRZ/FR-S, i'm quickly falling out of love.

Ken Switched from a 3Sgte to a 2az because the 3sgte kept breaking. They talked to Rado, and Rado told them to put the stocker in. At least that's what Ken posted on his blog from what I recall.

The only reason I see Scion making all these press releases w/o announcing a price is to gather more data (via First 86) to gauge demand so they can set a price right at the edge of our comfort zone. Scion hardly gives us anything substantial (just hype). It's really starting to annoy. Hats off to Toyota for letting official info leak every so often and for announcing the Japan price. Boo to Scion.

It's seriously stupid they announce the First 86 sign-up list but don't announce a price.

I love it when people get upset about a company not releasing the price of a vehicle before they actually sell the vehicle.

It interferes with financial decision making. Very aggravating.

Er... We generally like to know how much something costs before spending money on it, or in the case of something as expensive as a car, planning to buy it.

Besides its just annoying. Toyo and Scoobie have been giving us these little tiny bread crumbs. Personally I don;'t think we are asking for too much.

Are you really acting like you can't fathom what the price is going to be? "OMG how can I plan for this purchase? It could be anywhere from $20-30k!"
