What are these "premium" and limited editions? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

maxeveland · 01-31-2012, 09:23 AM

I keep reading that there will be 3 versions of the car, including a premium and limited versions of the fr-s.

What are you talking about?

There are 3 versions of the car: Toyota GT86 , Subaru BRZ , Scion FR-S (. Let me break it down for you, since reading comprehension seems to be an issue here. The Toyota GT86 (sold in 4 grades in Japan) is unavailable in North America. Instead, it is sold here as the Scion FR-S. Still following? Scion vehicles don't come in trims, rather they come in one base spec that you are free to option out to your hearts content, from what I understand anyway. What's probably confusing you is the fact the BRZ will be sold by Subaru in two trims: Premium and Limited. Just the Subaru. Not the Scion. K? You can actually go to the BRZ sub-forum and even see the brochure describing the differences between the BRZ Premium and Limited!

Here's the brochure for the US edition BRZ:

It comes in a Premium (lower) and Limited (higher) trim. The FR-S is rumored to be just the base trim of the GT-86 and will have an optional navigation/infotainment system.

Gt86 is Definitely available in North America considering I already have the green flag to have it imported.

Yes. You're actually right, but since he didn't mention about EU model, I didn't bother as well.

You probably get most features as dealer installed accessories.

Bespoke infotainment system might be standard now. (I always said it would be) Some Scion reps at some auto shows have said it was going to be standard. So we still don't officially know until scion finalized the specs hopefully within the next 30 days.

Excuse your semantics. It's is not "offered" in the North American market through the Scion dealer network.

Better?

/sigh

86. GT86. What's the difference? The side the steering wheel is on? Christ.

If im correct you can do this, but not legally register it to be street legal? Well at least here in California. So it'll end up being a race/drift car possibly?
