This tidbit is news to me. Anyone else live in a cave?

It has VVT-i!? NICE!

Thanks for the list. Those standard features are okay I guess, though I do wish they would have put in more. I'm just happy they included airbags.

Since were talking about important amenities, im glad the tires are a standard feature as well.

I wonder if that's only for the ones with auto trans.
I'm getting manual trans and I don't really like to have SST.

is that the feature where it blips the throttle when you downshift?

oh, and DRLs will be the first thing i disable :]

Thanks for posting! Great to see some sort of comprehensive confirmation of all the equipment details on the FR-S.

Up until now it's been strictly referred to as DAVCS [Subaru-speak for Dual Active Valve Control System]. Obviously, Scion doesn't want to crib Subaru's lingo so they substitute appropriate Toyota lingo for the same functionality.

That's what I mean, manufacturer nomenclature aside, I thought it was published that they were using a system which controlled intake and exhaust timing, hence DVACS. Toyota's equivalent would have been Dual VVT-i. Must have been a typo or something somewhere. I must have missed, yet another, important discussion as well...I'm going to poke around the forum search library to catch up.

I'll need to leave the comforts of the cave, maybe get a tan while I'm out here.

So when it kicks in, what do I say? "VVT-i kicked in yo!" Or "DAVCS kicked in yo!" ?

I wonder if the BRz is gonna get the same Pioneer 300-watt speaker system?

Congrats BTW.

Engine immobilizers have been legally required in Canada since 2007. So they are probably trying to standardize the car so the Canadian version and US version are as similar as possible.

I meant the speaker system not the HU.

should i have, do you get free shipping and handling?

j/k...

i ordered directly from toyota [thru a friend], but he just informed me that the order is not going thru until 4/15... until then it's just an "open order"... he also informed me that the option/accessory list will be updated by then...

i'm planning on just adding the fog lamps... he also gets 30% off trd parts, so maybe the duckbill spoiler while i'm at it, but i doubt those [trd parts] are going to be on there...
