I'd never troll you. you'd post some kind of picture that'll just make me laugh or think that it's clever. usually those are the 2 responses I get from reading your posts lol

Is it me, or is that Oceanic color the same paint as the 10 series?

Any pics of the new Red? Is it metallic or still non-metallic?

I wonder if it will be a variation of the Pacific Blue Metallic on things like the IQ or the older Yaris?

If you've been following this forum, you already knew there would be no real performance upgrades due to the Japanese announcements from Toyota and Subaru. I like that there is a backup camera now but the "bright silver interior accents" has me extremely nervous. It'll likely just end up making it even more cheap looking and prone to revealing scratches.

Edit: I just realized they're talking about the silver accents they've already had... maybe they're brighter now? Or maybe they are just desperate for things to write about since nothing has really changed.

And people are still going to line up to trade. Someone at Scion is a genius. Absolutely zero development cost for the latest shiny version. I'm sure there will be an RS2 and another Monogram as well. After everyone has bought the 17's, the 18 will come along. Repeat.

So I wonder what they're going to do about the premium option with navigation. Will it be the same unit as before or a new/different model? The old one seemed fine to me. Still better than Subaru's.

My guess, it'll probably be the same idea, base unit audio with an option to add on the navi module if desired. It would be sweet if it used the same navi module.
I am interested in seeing if there are any increases in screen resolution. And notice the CD slot is gone.

I hope they do another Monogram run soon. If they do I might just bite the bullet and get it. But yeah, I wouldn't think anybody would trade up simply based on these minimal changes.

BTW, I noticed one other super minor difference. They finally added the leather/red stitched e-brake handle... but it looks like the e-brake boot is still the standard one so it doesn't match.

God, what a surprise...not. Everyone and their mother knew that Toyota and Subaru weren't going to add any power.

The more you wait, the more you are wasting time not letting yourself experience a true sports car.

If you are going to mod your car, might as well buy a used '13 for under $20k.

So, does anyone have any details on this new stereo? Does it have Apple Carplay / Android Auto?
