omg some of you really going there.

Dawg u need to calm down! I never attacked you. It's my opinion on scion. This is still america. Look at the interior of the frs. It sucks.

I am looking at the accessories of the 2012 tC...not too impressive. The list is short unless it's bigger when you go to the dealership.

Dude calm down! Why you getting hostile?

I thought we were all friends here?
Did I hit a nerve?
I am criticizing a car and company not you...

Yeah u right...but the interior looks gutted...no red stitching on the center console. Door panels are cheaper looking. Some us wanted more...

Ext. look of the FR-S is damn great. The darker brake light change everything. No fog light? I don't give a $hit. Thumbs up for the 86 logo that still there.

I'm not sure about the radio...

I'm more than happy to have MANUAL climate controle, don't want to pay for auto shit that I don't use.

It's sad for the SCION logo on the steering wheel, hope it can be removed. A right-size Toyota logo would be great on there. Really don't want Scion logo on mine.

[Rabble]

It's like all these people forgot this car comes with an options list...

Everyone knows you have to pay for the good stuff. The only thing I can complain about is the ugly assed radio, but that isn't anything a trip to the electronics store can't fix.

The problem here that got that other guy angry wasnt people wanting more.

Its the whining and complaing for more they dont want to pay for

Im willing to bet 60 percent of the complainers cant even fork out the estimated 22k of the Current FRS

So why bother complaining.. its getting positive reception on all mainstream blogs too. It will sell..


Now to those that couldafford it and want that more get your brz and mod away i you want it to look like an 86, even if the brz looks good the way it is.

I'm glad the pictures says " Prototype shown with optional equipment. Production model may very"

[lordtakuban]

Not bad. I'm sure some JDM badging to remove the "Scion" from it would be pretty cheap and easy. Hopefully, there will be a decent aftermarket community right away. I could see a really small turbo kit (given the super high compression) giving this car just what it needs in power.

I personally like the asphalt color. It's definitely something to think about when it comes out. No waiting list for me though.

[Cessblood]

If they have a TRD package like the one in Japan. I will get it.

I'm so f***ing keen for this car

[spin9k]

My 2.5c

- Radio looks as from Chrylser - delete it - who listens to crappy radio anyways?
- Liking simple HAVC controls - GT86 HU was 90's revisited IMO w/red digi displays.
- Dual climate controls? - Give me a break - 2 peps barely fit side by side in the car.
- As always, gauges? Where tahell are the gauges? Ans: IDIOT's lites & Y/N dials!
- No stupid PBS - loving the analog - stick the key in the hole start idea - how retro!
- Nice! - No ugly fender inserts. Who came up w/dumb idea on new cars anyway?
- Nice fender emblem and a vent? - simple, elegant, best of the 3.
- No ugly Subaru/Mazda style front bar - yea! Lic plate ruin the look.
- Easy to mod to brake ducts lower fascia.
- Best taillights! Just add LED bulbs everywhere for those edisons.
- Mono textured dash hides the 'cheapie and obvious' air bag panels of others.
- Give me steelies - as w/others, guess they got a special deal on ug wheels!
- Backseat screams 'dirt cheap' - but really it's only a flat floor shelf anyway.
- Emerg brake on my side - in the way - should be on pass side - dumb.
- Make mine $19,999 and I'm good.

The seats with the red patches at the top corner is cheasy and has no purpose. Compared to the BRZ, a lot have been switched to cheapo parts.
I guess between Subaru and Toyota, Subaru always throw you the bigger bone when it comes to interior.

BRZ all the way now, since the JDM 86 had a downgrade make-over when imported into the US as the FR-S. Now I really hate the Scion line...

God forbid you don't have foglights, we all know how impossible it is to drive in heavily fogged America without foglights

The FR-s proved to me that it's ready to be an afforable car, The Panasonic unit can be replaced by other Scion units including the Alpine or the NAV I've seen on the 2012 Yaris but to be honnest I'll tear out anything standard for an Alpine KTP .

The HVAC I don't give a damn about either, 3 knobs is a Toyota standard and will mean that maintenance won't be a hassle.

Seriously tho, we're clearly getting an affordable car, so who cares about the bling

[BronxBomber13]

If that really is a greddy exhaust on there, then there should be aftermarket parts available for this right away!

[SUB-FT86]

Not a fan of the FR-S anymore. Subaru it is.
