They might be referring to the TRD Momo steering wheel, and TRD shiftknob.

Totally fuckin' called it. Both on a RS version coming out, and guessing (hoping) it'd be yellow.

A lot of people have been suspecting this. Its not a big surprise.

I like the color, but I'm not a fan of the body/exhaust. I wonder if it will have leather seats?

I can't think of any car out now that doesn't have special edition or limited production models, especially performance oriented cars.

The kit isn't too bad. Personally I wouldn't drive a yellow car but I wouldn't mind seeing them on the streets. Slap on some matte black wheels (TE37's anyone?) and I think it would look sexy!

The fact they released an RS gives me more time before I pull the trigger on one. Hopefully they come out with a neutral colored one or one in whiteout.

I like the rear bumper and quad exhaust. Not a fan of the rest.

Doesn't matter. I'm taking all of the credit. All of it.

He was very accurate. His only problem was that he said he had proof, and started posting crap from his showroom, and lost all credibility.

(6 months later)

-Fuck your 10 Series, we came out with a better alternative with the same options and more, in every color already available called the Monogram Series!

(2 months later)

-That Monogram Series is old news and isn't special, so here, take this special edition yellow color, with a few TRD add ons, with literally everything you get on the Monogram! Are you pissed yet? Well if you aren't, you probably will be when we release the 2015 that has a turbo (lol jk, we don't want a fucking turbo)

*With all of these, you get great appearance upgrades for a lot more money, but no one wants more power, so you don't get any!!! Isn't it fucking great???

Well to be fair, I think they are just trying to hit the different markets. This is their answer to all those people who wanted yellow. However, their hands are mostly tied with power upgrades - that's up to Toyota and Subaru in Japan.

Now, I still don't believe they are doing the greatest of job but I did gain a little respect for them with the Monogram series. I just hope they keep producing more Monogram series in all colors with no extra body parts added so that those who want the extra convenience and comfort features can get them as they are available in other world markets as Toyotas.

Agreed. They should of just had two trim levels. Base and Monogram. 95% of everyone would have gotten the car they wanted with the options they wanted. You wouldn't of lost a percentage of customers to the BRZ Limited at the beginning. The remaining 5% who wanted TRD, kits, and wacky colors could get the Release Series.

Yeah I'd feel pretty pissed if I was in US and wanted the Jap/Aus/Euro spec options but bought a 2013 thinking they wouldn't release them.

On the other hand it was pretty inevitable. The options were there, they were always going to end up on the american cars.
