Doesn't 2015 FR-S have shark fin antenna too?
Or is 2015 one 4" tall and 2016 one is 8" tall?
Confused...

Anybody know why? Thanks in advance!
Everyone wanted turbo. Some even wanted AWD.

This is what you got, 4" more.

Errors are not "False Advertisement". Besides I bet there is a disclaimer in fine print that says something like "All items may not be exactly as described"

It was some dealer material and they just slapped AWD over the picture of each car. Caused all sorts of rumours. Doubt I can find it since I think it was buried in the middle of one of the huge speculation threads.

No, it was a misprint for the year. The 2017's are AWD And turbo for Subaru. For Scion, the base Spec will be FWD and the top trim will be a mid engine, rear whee drive.
