Can't wait for the DIY on disabling that

Being that 2500 of these will be available, and everybody on this forum either have an FR-S already or have one on preorder, I don't think all 2500 will go out the door this summer.

I think it will

The smart key would be nice, but I'm not willing to pay for it. Remote start might be a different matter.

Everything else ranges from meh to bleh. Looks like it won't be until at least the 2015 for buyer's remorse to kick in.

Don't need "limited edition" leave that for the trucks or SUV's.. Need "track" edition with upgraded suspension, brakes, etc...

Thanks

Someone in this thread doesn't realize that Prius emblems don't actually light up...

KO7 · 03-28-2013, 10:47 PM

Any Scion defenders still want to bash those who have wanted this to be released as a Toyota in North America all along?

denkigrve · 03-28-2013, 10:50 PM

I just want the GT86 headlights... Hopefully those will be available from the dealership or parts suppliers.

Because Scion.

I can definitely say Scion never crossed my mind until the FR-S was released, so I supposed I don't fit the Scion target audience. This whole thing reeks of a marketing ploy and nothing more.

Thank you for voicing my opinion. Although this development cements my decision to get the frs last week as the right one, its also bad because they are damaging the car reputation with all the riced-out garbage. Bet you they will increase the msrp by at least a grand for these "upgrades"

Meh, ill be contacting some peeps and try to get a hold of the headlamps. Question is, will it be cheaper then importing them from Europe? And what about the harness?

Dude I know! I would actually like to have most of the nice features offered on this release series car, but I just don't like silver.
