I think the average salary in the UK is around £25k a year.... so to keep this affordable, I'd like to guess/assume it's going to be a bit below the average yearly salary in the UK. I base that on absolutely no facts. Just a educated guesstimate. It will also sit somewhere nicely in with it's rivals.

(personally, I'd like it to be between £15000-£19000, but that's false hope/wishful thinking)

Wow that's a low average salary....my alarm clock doesn't go off for less then 70K here state side.

50k UK side.

For base models, add another 3K when selecting the Premium or Ltd.

I sure as heck hope not!

DRACHENV6 · 11-30-2011, 02:57 PM

I think it will be $22K US msrp.

I know that this comparison is apples to oranges but a 2.5L i4 6spd auto camry has an msrp of $22k and a 3.5L v6 comes in with an msrp of $25-26k. I think it's hard to justify higher prices of 25-28k on the 86 while keeping to toyota's theme of affordability. For me affordability = quality, meaning great value for what you spend..

If these are the Canadian pricing then the 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T is going to demolish the FRS and BRZ. It's going to cost $24000 max for the base model. 75 more hp, 75 more torque, more interior space, same quality interior, likely more tech features, longer warranty and it would be $4000 to $6000 less money. Not to mention the $23000 Mustang V6.

Edit : As soon as we see the US price we will know the Canadian price for the FR-S... Scion charges 7 to 9% more for each model in Canada than the US. So if the FRS is $23000 in the US then it should be about $25000 here. It definitely needs to compete with the 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T which is a solid seller in Canada, far more than the US.

I don't see why it would be more than that, considering the market, and considering that Toyota wants to keep the car affordable.

dreamspeed · 11-30-2011, 04:19 PM

when is the official pricing suppose to be announced?

If they can off it at 23k base and 26k for the premium model (both with no additional options) then that would be great

the closer it is to 30k the worse the outcome will be

MPG
Reliability
Better interior
Better seats
Better looking
Still rather practical (fold down rear seat)

Maybe when the come out with the next-gen WRX with the 1.6 DI turbo I might have a more difficult time deciding, but right now its a no-brainer unless all you care about its straight line performance and fitting 4 people into the car.

roaduscarnivorous · 11-30-2011, 05:47 PM

the cynical side of me says starting at 25k. the hopeful side says 23k, right in line w/ the genesis coupe

tripjammer · 11-30-2011, 05:59 PM

Scion FRS - $24369

It will be less than the WRX...think lower end of the mid 20k range...Even the BRZ.

With Scion its going to be one model. That is how Scion rolls.
