incorrect. The auto climate and dual zones are part of the limited package only. It remains to be seen whether it will be a stand alone option on the premium, but my guess would be no. On the brochure from my dealer it lists an auto trans as the only option.

HIDs & a touch screen nav unit plus the fascia and badges will distinguish the 2 cars.

Agree.

I'd like to get the Sub interior and the Scion exterior(don't care for the BRZ front bumper).

I don't really think the Nav is a big selling point. I would personally rather get my own aftermarket one installed rather than pay a premium for what they decide to put in it.

If you want the interior of the BRZ, pay an extra 2k over the price of an FRS.
Lol, exactly.

Stop complaining and decide. It amazes me people put so much emphasis on the placement of 3 knobs...enough to the point where they consider dropping an extra 2k which could easily throw on an exhaust and some coilovers...

GT-86/BRZ limited with the center stack is nice! OMG I trolled =D


The way I see it is cause some of us are die hard Toyota fans now are shifting to Subaru. I perfer to stay with the same dealer and same salesperson and same service group but Toyota probably doesn't like us.

And btw, bashing is so next week or next next week when the prices come out. Someone going to get hurt...

pricing for the subaru is expected to be higher, no rocket science going on here

Nobody really knows how much more the Subaru BRZ premium is going to cost over the FRS. Rumor is $24k for the premium BRZ.

My Toyota/Scion dealership consolidated personnel and no longer has distinct salespersons, so it's my regular Toyota guy for me...just depends on the dealership I guess

I don't believe there are any Scion-only dealerships, they're all Toyota/Scion dealerships, so you'd still be going to a Toyota dealership to buy/service your Scion.

And you'd be surprised at how much better the standard interior looks with a touch screen display as opposed to that terrible looking scion headunit.
yup.

Here's a video of the BRZ premium interior from a guy at a US dealership.



I like both setups. The dual zone climate control i like more because it has digital readouts for exact temp control. But the big dials of the standard center stack looks extremely easy to use, which i like. Twiddling w/ switches is one of my biggest pet peeves while driving.

Why i will def opt for the BeSpoke system (or subaru equivalent if i opt BRZ instead). Voice activation.
