"MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price that appears on Scion.com. The price that is shown on your dealer's website, which may or may not be the same as MSRP, is the price you'll pay for your new Scion. Pure Process is a completely transparent pricing system to help save you the time you would otherwise spend negotiating for a "deal."

If they have a higher price posted, just check out neighbouring dealerships and ignore this one.

Thanks for clarifying that. My point still remains though, if a dealer is charging more than MSRP...RUN! If they are charging less than MSRP...YOU BUY NOW!

Post up pictures asap. I need to call tomorrow and see if I have a VIN yet. I'm not going to lie, after I put down my deposit I was reconsidering a BRZ for a while.

Going from a prelude to a twin as well? Nice To be honest I'm surprised there aren't too many comparisons between these two cars as they have similar weight, power and dimensions....closer than any other car I can think of. The only major difference is FWD (fun wheel drive lol) and RWD. For me it's a modern prelude with some differences, as honda has nothing to offer now in this regard. I hope you enjoy your FRS as much as the prelude!

As for Monogram, that sounds awesome! Yes, post pics when you can!!

^ Hopefully it won't get caught up in the huge seat heater stop sale affecting most of the Toyota cars and trucks.

How do you get one? I asked the seller and he has no clue what it is... it is not even in their system.

I had to contact every dealer around my area (and ones that are 40 mins out) to find a dealer that could let me put a deposit on one.

Keep calling, and when you get one price, make sure its MSRP, if not keep calling other dealerships.

Despite none of the dealers I called knew about the Monogram, the Distributor was already in line to receive 9 Monogram units (all whiteout, automatics). After speaking with a distributor representative, I was told that the planning department was only able to receive those 9 directly from Japan (normal vehicle sales flow in PR) and not order any.

Even though special editions are rare and our market smaller than Canada, what are the chances of that info being true?

I called my dealer today for an update. Still no VIN.

After a few hours of the sales manager looking for a white 6MT to bring to the lot, finally locked in with a deposit! Ships out from Japan on Feb 9, but guy says shipping takes like 3 weeks

He did say he will try to use it as bait to get an earlier car though so hopefully it comes sooner!

I think the price came out to be like 28.5 for the white 6MT.

How did you go about selecting color?

Can't wait to see those first Monogram pictures. Looks like those of us in the southeast have to wait until next week before anything is known about allotment.

Anyone know if the HID lights with the DRLs are the exact same as the 10 series'? I saw some screenshots and they seem to have a yellowish tint on them unlike the 10 series. The DRLs that is.

I also forgot to mentioned, a dealership west of Atlanta, GA by about 40 miles, quoted me 27,400 for a manual in argento..... At least thats what she said on the phone. Shes supposed to email me the pricing breakup with tags, tax, doc, etc. I hope I'll be able to get one for that #, I was debating getting a 10 series if it were a lot cheaper but it doesn't seem to be the case...

The ones on the prototype in Detroit looked identical to mine, despite the pictures I know your referring too, I think its just the photos.

Anyone in New York placed an order?, placed mine last Sunday but still no VIN as of today
