Actually for that matter, was able to test drive a Z4M Coupe today, so a Limited Lightning Red 6MT might be bumped up as well LOL
Price, and release date haha.

EDIT: K, he called me back. $500 minimum required deposit. Check. Nonrefundable. I'd be at the top of the list if/when I go tomorrow to make a deposit. He said he wasn't sure about getting a guarantee in writing that I'd be the first in line, but could speak to the manager about it tomorrow. Imma go anyways. Now to pick a color LOL!
Wait, which dealership? i think you meant to put this update on the other thread. lol

For me, its mostly the front bumper of the FRS ive been liking more and more. Also, the $1k bump for HID and Nav isn't that much of a biggie imo. The HIDs are cool but i have NAV on my phone so i wouldnt use it as much. But its still in the air, if I don't get the FRS in the first shipment at either dealership then I'll more than likely get the BRZ. Plus, Scion has a $1k college rebate for college grads. Its still debatable.

Still debating going or not, lol. Both bumpers look nice to me. It's just the shitty interior that's got me iffy about frs. Also, the lights of the frs in combination with the grill smile makes it look like a retarded kid imo... Brz looks like a bucktoothed kid once a plate is slapped on... What should i do ???

O_o have you sat in the FRS? I didnt find it shitty, in fact i found it in par with the BRZ (not Limited). Also, the 86 and FRS have the same bumper with different headlights, but after closer look the headlights seem the same but the FRS has more chrome and doesn't have the LED strip on top.

Put a $500 deposit for an Asphalt FR-S at Toyota of Pasadena today. Refundable and all that jazz. The salesperson know jack shit about the car and had to double and triple verify my color choice after I kept telling him that it's FOR SURE called Asphalt and not something else... He also thought the 6 speed manual transmission came with paddle shifters, which I had to correct him on also... meh!

Anyway, I came out to be #4 cuz apparently 2 dudes went in to make deposits yesterday some time after I called lolz. Will be pulling the deposit from the dealership that receives "my" car later. FRS may come in May or June---they don't know. They "haven't gotten any information from Toyota" about allotments/shipments/batches/etc.

Why'd I choose grey over white for FRS? Cuz the grey hides the retarded face, which shows on every other FRS color lolz.

And why didn't I just change to BRZ Premium? Cuz y'all know it would've pushed me back in the queue of course. Also, imo FRS looks better than BRZ Premium when no fog lights are present.

but I wish you luck senior...you will for sure save a lot of money if you go towards the FRS...but I'll tell you this...the value of the car will be more with the BRZ then the FRS if you ever tend to sell it..(coming from my brother that works for kelly blue book)

Yuppo. I go to bed everyday thinking about the decision, lol. On the one hand, BRZ has all the amenities, but FRS is cheaper. Imma test both and see which I like more. I really dig the BRZ premium right now tho, so if anyone wants to trade Premium for my Limited, lemme know
