I'm not a morning person either but I'd make an exception in this case. :P

Here's the video I shot at the VIP event, if your curious check it out:


Some things I learned:
- No Heated Seats
- Heated Mirrors
- No Dual HVAC
- Red Accents were only for prototypes
- Bespoke is not standard
- To Change the Spark plugs you need to pull the front wheels and the inner fender plastic
- There's apparently a tube that transfers engine noise to the firewall for pleasure
- Release Window May - June (Late Spring)

After the event speaking to a Scion Rep at the booth later in the day, he told me straight up the price is 24K MSRP, However the Scion Reps at the event in the morning said it was still unconfirmed, so I'm guessing the Scion Rep was just guessing.

Thanks for the info update, great to hear we are getting all-black seats.

Amazing MSRP if true, but I strongly suspect the rep was just jawing that price to get people off his back after being asked about price 200 times an hour.

When I was there yesterday, the Scion rep was telling people the fr-s would be 25k-27k, but again it sounded like that was his own estimate.

when i was there on Monday, the rep told me "more than 25, less than 30"

now, the other stuff doesn't bother me that much, but heater mirrors in Canada are kind of a big thing.. (not in this winter though :P)

25 - 27 is probably right, I'm hoping closer to 25 though.

Honestly I wasn't really even considering Red as a colour but it looked great on display.

I wish I could see it in orange as I was inbetween orange and white as my choice

You saw the iQ and Release Series xB in Scion's booth? Same colour. Not quite the same as seeing it on the FR-S, but you get the idea!
