I do kind of like that color. I'll admit I'm partial to bluish-silver colors. Also, gonna say I'm a bit jealous of the new stock radio. I really only got the Bespoke because it looked better and just seemed like an all over nicer system. I know it's not much of an upgrade, but with a lease I couldn't go aftermarket. This new stock system sounds like what I needed.

No, I think it's there just not listed. The silver is growing on me, definitely looks a lot better than the standard argento and paint quality is most likely way better than the shitty Subaru paint we have lol. As for the other tacky Scion bits...it's Scion...did anyone expect any different? This is why I never liked Scion as a brand...has always catered to the parking lot fast and furious crowd.

Yeah, Scion pissing me off again with this, I knew this was going to happen with the release series. They're forcing a single colour too and keeping the fog lights and other goodies but they put in these crap light up logos, dash, and shift knob? I. Hate. Scion.

Minus fog lights, no mention of leather, heated, seats, the exhaust tips are still lacking the 86mm exits, I doubt they added a lot of other features (see the link in my sig for all of them). But they added craptacular illuminated badges, dash, and shift knob.... oh and forced a single colour that's actually not a colour but a shade of ugly grey. I hate Scion so much. Give me the damn Toyota without the Scion gimicks and Scion stripped out quality.

This almost pisses me off more than the initial offering of the FR-S.

Noticed that after posting, which is why I dug up the press release itself which mentions dual climate - edited above post. Scion can't even get their story straight.

This is awesome news for those who want to swap in its DOT-approved headlights which point slightly to the right for US roads (JDM headlights point slightly to the left I believe).

The real question is for how much and when can we all order a pair of 2014 10 Series headlights.

Silver is boring(sorry silver owners ). Black or White with a heavy Blue hue would have looked nicer.

Some kid that they pay $12/hr to update the website missing an item kills your confidence in the company? Unless said kid is putting the car together, you can rest easy.

Anyway, it basically comes down to what I'm willing to pay extra for.
HIDs? Nope (IMO, most people want them for the looks rather than function... ) I do like that they have a blacked out housing versus the stock units, but functionally for light output, I'm rarely impressed with HID.
Auto climate control? Yes
Push button start? Yes
Color? Maybe
Light up badge, shifter, and dash? Absolutely not. Luckily they are easily swapped.

Totally forgot to realize this is Scion's 10th anniversary. We should've expected something big like this when we were speculating. I remember one guy called out it would be silver months ago... forgot his name but he was right.

I think, they're using UK GT86 and putting Scion badge
