Yeah, pretty much. They'll just take your deposit and write down your information and probably give you some sort of paperwork that you'll have to sign.
Then they'll just call you when it gets here.

yeah I just put my money down, and they gave me the receipt. I did not have to sign anything. The deposit is fully refundable. I hope they do not mark up. Oh well, if they really do, I would just buy the base FRS instead.

[nonicname]

how can anyone justify buying this car over a BRZ?
it will be more expensive and everything i already available standard on the Subaru model. Also no one in their right mind will want to have Scion badges over subaru badges.
I do like the Scion bumper much better but that's not worth the extra $2,500 people will have to pay for this car.

the worst part is paying for all the rice lighted badges and know.

Um, what? Is that why so many people on here chose the FR-S over the BRZ?

Agree lol.. I love the sound a STI makes.. But I'd pick a EVO over a WRX, a FRS over a BRZ.. I'm not a subbie fan.. I don't knock them... I know they make great cars.. I just don't see me ever owning one.. I don't call any Subaru a sports car until the BRZ.. The rest are family sedans with tuned suspensions

I'm not a fan of the brz headlights so I would just have to spend the money I saved on the gt86 ones

That's where we differ.. The GT lights make the car look like it has Down syndrome.. I don't like them at all.. I love the BRZ ones.. That's why I can't see what the big deal is about the lights.. Each their own I guess

Hate to break it to ya, but for all intents and purposes, you already do.

@remorse87, the RS prices, at least the way the rest of them have been prior to the FR-S, are always a couple thousand or so above standard.

I seriously doubt you'll see any of the 10-series upgrades as options on the base FR-S. Scions are supposed to be mono-spec, and with the fact that the headlights, climate control, push-button start, etc. aren't add-ons but replacements for existing equipment, I don't think they'll offer them. If you want any of the goodies, your best bet always has been and will be to buy a BRZ Limited.

Paint done by Subaru, so HIGHLY doubtful. haha

So the only difference between this and the brz limited are the seats & fog lights?

...front bumper, fender badge, interior trim, headlights, AWESOME SHIFT KNOB, fisher price badging, etc.

He means spec/feature wise, not stuff like bumpers, shift knobs, IP trim, etc. This basically splits the difference between a BRZ premium and a BRZ limited as far as equipment.
