As for you guys bitching about the small details, isn't this what you wanted? Now you can add JDM OEM parts not officially available in NA to your cars. (while I'm thinking of doing the opposite hehe)

keep in touch with me we can do trades or buy/send

(trade steering wheel pleaseeeee)

Is it just me, or is that Shifter trim now black when it was grey/silver in the other photos?

Nice, thanks. I think I tried to load that thread on my phone earlier and just gave up.
That trunk and opening do look pretty big.

it will be 22.999 im telling you right now... i can just... feel it.. i know!

just different factory optioned accessories. even your WRX/STi shift knob will fit on FR-S shifter. lol M12x1.25

On a seriouse note tho, I sure hope the FRS/BRZ do not have sun-roof as standard. I would be pisst. I do not need a track car with sunroof.

I just barely Came back from the event & there's 22 pages? Gee, I'm no way in hell, I gonna read em all lol

I saw few members at the event.

Most of the ppl were taking a tons of pics, so I've decided to go on different route... By talking w few inside SCION ppl to get some info & love to tell you guys... BUT sadly, I'm exhausted & I'm hitting this hard hotel bed... I'll make sure to post the info tomorrow

Henwee · 12-01-2011, 03:01 AM

I know they are trying to cut cost ... and they did a great job. It LOOKS cheap now. Lets hope the price IS cheap.

Now that i look at more, i'm certain that black bezel one is from the black frs with the BBK. Seems like quite a few things are "custom" in that one.

Now this is a legitimate complaint. 50/50 or 60/40 split would have been nice.

Whoops. Almost forgot.
OMG SCION I HATE YOUR FACES FOREVER! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US!!!11!2!!

A lot of these complaints address minor details that can be fixed via factory options and aftermarket modifications.
I see this car more as a bare-bones blank canvas ready to be painted. Certainly 'power' has been a big complaint for a lot of people, but I'm sure anyone who's serious in putting this car into track use will dedicate time and work to fabricate the things they need to crank out the ponies out of this car.

As for myself, I have a family, I don't want to drop my cash on a 30k+ car in today's economy, nor am I going to be speed racing on a daily basis. I just need a car that looks nice that's from an auto company I'm fond of, in which I can take me, my friends and/or family out on nice spirited drives and be satisfied at the end of the day that I have made a pretty sound financial investment as an average joe who loves cars.
