last two cars I had -- had a special package (sun/sound) $3K extra ... but dealers never honored it.. and my insurance tried not to when my car was totaled and kept giving me a base price. luckily i saved my actual car sticker and showed them.

If I was to resell it in a few years, no, you are right. However, this is not a car I planning on reselling. I cannot see the future, but given this cars disposition towards tuning, I would really like to get a million mile badge for it...

Not sure if troll or serious, but..

the monogram is essentially the base model with 6 upgrades: HID Lights, Dual-Zone climate control (w/ rocket ship switches), BeSpoke Audio system, Push button start, heated seats, and a spoiler.

The one thing I don't like in the Scion is the lack of luxury. Between buying the Mono. and installing aftermarket tech, I think it would solve the problem.

Thank you. I was serious.

It has the JDM headlights and heated seats. That alone is worth the markup.

It's a FR-S with all the interior features/add-ons of a BRZ Limited and the JDM spec headlights.

Damn. I should have got a Monogram. Didn't they only come in one color last year?

That was the 10 series. Monograms came in most all colors.

Plus a couple of things the BRZL doesn't have... like kneepads and the rear center armrest. I think the one thing the Monogram is missing is the courtesy lights or lighted vanity... I forget. There's a spreadsheet around here somewhere that highlights the differences.

That is, unless you live somewhere near the gates of hell (like the OP), in which case heated seats probably won't do you much good.

I meant more for the ergonomics. Compared to base model seats, they feel a lot more accommodating and comfortable.
