makes sense... no wonder there's such difficulty getting a whiteout.... every dealer i've talked about ordering an fr-s keeps on telling me raven is the easiest next to ultramarine and firestorm.... i really hope they bring this TRD/Release series to us !!

they should have had this available at launch tbh. I would be pissed if they offered this right after I purchased mine.

Looks like fairly solid confirmation between this and the STI BRZ that both companies are keeping FI off this platform from the factory despite all the assumptions and speculation to the contrary.
I'm happy about this because I can customize my FRS my way with the aero bits, roll bars, suspension, wheels, and tires I want without that feeling that I'm still missing the 'better' powertrain from the factory. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

That's such a complete car. I'm sure the US will get screwed once again b/c of Scion and our version would be a RS version with half of the pieces.

It mentioned...."additional instrumentation including the Sports Meter Link System comprising water temperature, and oil temperature and pressure gauges". I didn't see that in any of the pictures...did I miss it?
