So, the scion release series is nothing but the GT86.

Well thats not bad lol It will probably be priced just like the BRZ

I like the options, but did they have to pick the most boring color ever?

Should have done Envy Green or Voodoo Blue from the xB.

I highly doubt this will work but definitely keep us informed.

I should know by this weekend if they do, and I'll get some video evidence. Here's hoping!

I have my doubts, but at that price, I might as well make sure.

Illuminating shift knob, light up SCION badges? Factory rice is my favorite rice.

The headlights have my attention though, I'm curious what housing they're using. Have pictures been released?

Edit- Took a look at the website on my phone. Hard to tell what the headlights look like with such a small picture.

Yep. The best picture yet of the FR-S is at the top of this page:

Looks to be the JDM/Euro headlights.

EDIT: I'll just post the photo here:

The car looks nice but needs to be more "special" lol

Looks like the GT86 headlights. The non American version.

civicdrivr · 03-28-2013, 01:16 PM

Thanks! Youd think theyd at least toss a different set of wheels on the car.

I wonder how much those headlights will be through the parts dept.

Also, if anyone is looking for a sharkfin antenna for under $100. http://www.visualgarage.com/ looks like a good deal. I ordered one a few days ago and I'll let you guys now how it is in a few weeks when I receive it. They claim to car match, paint match and fitment goes over the little black piece of antenna and sticks using double sided tape.
Two weeks is my ETA. I'll post pics and a short review when I install it.

If Nigel is selling the pair for ~$1200, I can probably get a set for less if the prices match.
